Moments when you could kick yourself

Ever had one of these when playing the game? I'd had Tribunal Pike sitting on my roster, staring at me with his two stars for some time now. On Monday, I finally thought screw it, I'm completing him, and bought a citation.

Then I checked the Daily Rewards for this month. :|

    I felt that way when I recently impulse-purchased the 25 $ pack with nothing but 15x10 and 2000 dil. When I started to reflect I remembered that sometimes there are packs with 15x10 + 3000 chrons + 3000 dil for the same price. That really hurt.

    I took Tosk in a begold. My other choices were Martian Quark and Rejac so it might be the worst begold ever but it’s still not a great card. He’ll sit at level 1...forever.

    Two months in a row I collected the 4* citation from the campaign and went to use it on Coffee Janeway to FF her for Evolved Janeway purposes, only to not pay attention and authorize fusing two actual Janeways together instead. This really hurts as you never know when you'll get another second copy from the portal or voyage!

    I sent out 4 9 hour shuttles when the 12 hour timer was about to run out after a faction to galaxy change. All the crew I needed for the galaxy part were on those shuttles

    I purchased An offer a while back that was for trainers, i thought it was citations. Only $5.00 but still. Pay attention self!
    Start a voyage or shuttles right before event start.
    Accidentally used my campaign citation on the wrong crew. It was “highlighted” habit to punch lit buttons. Lol
    Failed to notice smuggler cassidy in a behold, chose someone else then immediately thought oh! Wth!
    Deciding to cite a 3* crew to freeze them, since never dropping then got that card the next day.
    All of the above will happen if you play long enough, and usually is a direct result of not enough COFFEE or sleep deprivation during events.
    Randomly punch for a gauntlet round not even paying attention. Have no idea what % or #’s were. More than once. Lol
    Im pretty sure lots of these stories where you just scold yourself.

    I keep accidentally airlocking Tommy Gun Dixon even though he is a part of a collection. On a side note, I had a friend who could make his leg go back enough that he could kick himself in his posterior. I do not know why he ever first tried to kick himself but he seemed to be quite proficient at it.

    I DYCed Mirror Jean Luc Picard, (first time ever) and DB ended up giving the 5th star away for free.

    Too soon?

    Ha!! Somehow I don’t think you were the only one. In fact, they gave away 4 more for free just this past month

    In the middle of Spock campaign, I use a citation to FF Fugitive Spock because I wanted to immortalized before the end of the campaign... and shortly after I remembered that he was a 4* crew, so I didn't need to waste a citation to FF him.

    And with the airlocking frenzy that follows a voyage, I airlocked a Tomalak at 2* by mistake.

    It was reflected in your tip.

    At least the voyage can be revoked quickly. 200 dil for each shuttle are a different story...

    I opened some packs while I was very tired and distracted. Got a behold with Gralik Durr, Kes and somebody else. I only noticed a red line of writing above each of them and thought that I had them all immortal, so I picked Kes, just to airlock her. At the last moment, I realized that the red line above Gralik Durr said "not owned".
    That in itself wouldn't be terrible, but my Innovators collection is at 24/25 and he's in the Delphic Expanse one too. I never saw him in a behold before or after that one :(

    About 95 minutes from the end of a faction event, where it was touch-and-go if I'd make rank, I sent out 4 x 9-hour shuttles instead of 4 x 90 minute shuttles.

    D'oh!

    I bought 3 packs yesterday for the last star for Mirror La Forge, have him at 3/4 since years ( it feels like years......) . Got him with the 3rd pack and was really happy, changed to the voyage, and who drops with the next dilemma? Of course, you know it.......
  • GhostStalkerGhostStalker ✭✭✭✭✭
    You know that thing where you get 3 super-rare characters during your 8 hour voyage, and you're like "Duhhh... This is a good one, I'll extend it!"

    And then you proceed to get nothing but trainers for the next two hours. Happens every time.

    My classic one. Acknowledging the low AM notification on my voyage, then forgetting about it. Using a token to revive it. Then forgetting about it again! Then using another token to justify wasting the first one on that voyage, then forgetting it again!! And ending the voyage early after having wasted 3 tokens on for overall average rewards.
    This! Especially if I set a vibration reminder that I do not acknowledge twice until I realize that I turned my phone completely silent for a meeting earlier this day.^^

    I can’t tell you how many times I have done this. Almost did it again this morning, too - woke up earlier than intended and figured, “might as well clear the dilemma that’s waiting for me.” Only after doing so did I notice it was the 8 hour dilemma, but figured I would run through the gauntlet and then recall, since I had 1600ish AM left. I of course finished up the gauntlet, set my phone down, and went back to sleep...when I woke up again, I noticed I had only 244 AM left. I am not usually so lucky.

    All. The. Time.

    It just happened yesterday. I did it three times.

    Guilty of this one too.

    My most painful moment so far was getting a begold with Daning Uhura, someone else and Leonardo. I tried to swipe my phone to snapshot the begold and the blasted device thought I was selecting Uhura.
    Never turn in portal pulls at 2AM!

    Not listening to the officers in the fleet when they BEGGED me to boot someone....we even voted, it was 7 - 1 to boot, I was the lone vote against but being FADM I overruled them. Live and learn, won't make that mistake again.

    Used a citation to immortalize Armus. About a week later he dropped in the Guantlet.

    That is frustrating but maybe more will drop and you can make a second armus. He is very good. You can also lvl up that spare Armus and use both in gauntlet when he is bonus.

    I try to be very disciplined about the number of event packs I'll buy w/ dilithium. Once I see the crew stats, I make a decision about how many I'll pull in an effort to get 1 copy of the new 4* card so I can FF it via the event. Maybe it's 2 packs, maybe it's 3 - whatever it is, that's my limit. I even write it down.

    So I pull packs, and get nothing but the already-FF'd 4*. So I decide to pull just one more pack beyond my limit, 'cause the new card HAS to come up right? But it doesn't. And I can't believe it 'cause I just really want to FF the card, so in frustration I pull again... and miss again. :(

    Break a rule, blow through carefully-accumulated dilithium, get nothing in return. Yep, I kick myself for days about that. I still can't look at B-4 without having guilt flashbacks.

    Agreed, I am on the way to immortalizing a second Armus.
