Should voyages drop (old) legendary crew?

Currently, voyages only drop super rare crew as from the 6h dilemma, but legendaries can never drop. It could be interesting to have a (very low) chance to drop legendary crew after (for example) 10h, in order to provide more incentive to players to spend more dilithium by extending their voyages past 10h, in the hopes that they get a new crew, or be able to finish off their existing crew.
The argument could be made to include only older crew (e.g. at least 18 months in the game), so that the new crew remains a little more "exclusive" for a longer period of time, but all in all I think this could be an interesting addition to the voyage mechanic and to make them more rewarding past a certain point of time.

A good start would be to include all of the Day One legendaries, then add others as time goes on.
Selling dil with 40% extra isn't helping there, a low chance to get a gold stays a low chance.
Currently only the options that guarantee what you get (campaign) are attractive anymore.

Agreed, so many of the old 5 star are really weak anyway, whats dropping a Kai Opaka and whatnot, gonna hurt?
You know what would be really great? Replacing those annoying schematic rewards with said pool of discount legendaries. It might get more people to extend Voyages after they get the first dilemma required for such a drop.
Thanks for giving me an idea to build into my own idea.
DB should hire you, Lorca.

They would lose money on me, lol.
And you would have earned my spending loyalty for life had you done so. They should hire you.

This exactly. If (Older) Gold crew were available through Voyages, but you would have to pay to get there, so I would say, after 11 hours, Gold crew would have their normal 0.02% drop rate.
That sounds very reasonable
Maybe this sounds greedy but for the army of 1/5s a drop chance of 0.02% will not help. This would mean that only every 5000th drop beyond the 11 h mark would be a legendary!
I would consider 1/5 of the current drop rates of purples (whatever that might be) reasonable. Otherwise this would be worse than Dabo as people got trapped into prolonging voyages for (bad) golden stuff but never saw a benefit from it.
Summary: 11 hours is too late and 0.02% is by far not enough.
