Mega Event Packs

During the last mega event the end of mega packs were priced differently and we had different packs available for the first three weeks. Will this continue? Will it revert back to the original structure? Thoughts? My OH thinks if they'd changed it back to the way it was before they would have let us know

The answer to whether or not any pack is worth it is, of course, it depends what you get from it!
I got 3 legendaries from my 21 packs of which only two were for event crew. I will stick to the 480 packs.
Someone showed me the math a while back that statistically, you can expect an average of 1 begold per 7.5 packs. Sounds like you beat the average by 1.5 pulls getting 3 legends. Your random luck resulting from selecting 390 packs or 480 packs should not convince you of any pattern. This game is all math.
At 390 dilithium per pack, it is not a lot of dilithium, by comparison to just about any other dilithium crew pack in the game!
Mathematically, it makes the most sense. Warning people off because of your perceived bad luck (statistically good luck, but hey) is like telling us what lottery numbers we shouldn't pick this week because they didn't win for you last week. It's always a gamble. All you can do is optimize your chances, and the 390 packs do exactly that by giving you more chances.
I'm saying it's not a lot by comparison to just about any other dilithium crew pack in the game. (Which is why I wrote "by comparison to just about any other dilithium crew pack in the game!", just to make it completely clear.)
It's a saving of ~2000 over the 480 packs, or ~5000 over the standard pack price. Or are you saying 2000 dilithium is not a lot?
Personally, I don't want to play that last hybrid with 4/5 Janeway. I want the full 5/5, so I will probably cite early and do the 480 packs. I would hate to do 390 and get another Janeway that I don't need. Which packs are a better deal depends more on preference, if you ask me. And my preference is the 480 packs, if prices stay the same.
I have asked Shan in the Event thread, but she hasn't been online for a couple of days. We have to wait for her to get back.
I saw that it was asked. I wasn't sure if I missed the reply. Thank you for confirming that I did not.
Last mega I obtained all of the crew because I liked them all or they were a benefit to my roster. This event I've skipped chasing Tuvok after so many sec/eng crew lately, so depending on how I feel about the other mega legends the overall mega pack might not be a good choice for me.
Cross-posting from the Event thread:

From the standpoint that there is sufficient crew available, I'm hopeful that there will be two packs. But from DB doing unpredictable things in the past... I have to say that I don't know what to expect.
All I saw was Martia. Think she'll be with Rura Penthe Commandant and another legendary next week, before Skirmish? (Kind of like the semi-recent pack with Mirror Uhura, Mirror Kirk, and Mirror Spock.)
Rura Penthe Commandant (also from VI, as is Martia)
Survivalist Kirk (he'd make two Kirks in the pack, but the dude has Survivalist literally in his name)
Wrathful Khan (no direct connection to either Martia or Evil Kirk)
I don't need Martia or Evil Kirk, but at half price, I'd take a whack at a piñata containing any of those three. I've got a 1/5 Commandant and a 4/5 Khan and I'd like Kirk since I love "Arena".
Commenting this question randomly because I can't make a thread to post it anywhere else.
In forum bridge page you click new discusion button on the top right.
If DB takes a secret user poll for this, I would prefer Survivalist Kirk, then RP Kirk, then Khan. I need two stars to finish the first two and three or four to finish the long-unused Khan...
You'd have my vote as well. I need 4 more stars for each of them plus Rura Penthe Commandant.
:: waits for turn to whack piñata ::
RP Commandant would be best for Arena/Skirmish. He's basically another Killy. I would definitely pull for RPC. I would probably pull for Survivalist Kirk. Any others would not be worth the risk of getting more Evil Kirk's that I don't need.
