I had 36 10-packs and 13 single pulls.
All single pulls were honor, 3 packs were too (super-glad that it was not more). Got 4 legendaries (2nd star on Away Team Saru, 2nd star on Prince Bashir, 1st star on The Keeper and 1st star on Age of Sail Riker). There were several packs with more than one behold, the best was 1x legendary and 2x super-rare.
Along I got around 30,000 /edit 25,000 honor and quite some useful schematics.
Overall I am pleased. The only downside was that I had to freeze 3 useful purples
to make room and could not keep any rares. But they come along all the time anyway.

(Well, I guess until someone shows a screenshot, she doesn't. But I cannot wait to clear her from my silhouette list.)
I did not take screenshots, but I had her as a straight drop and in one behold where I chose someone else.

Well I saved up 136 packs.
I got 16 golds
Enough honour for 2 legendary citations
Another star for evolved Janeway
A star at least for all the nee 4 stars except one zero.
Happy days!
I had 43 10x packs saved up. I did get a decent number of useful purples, but all of them were already in the portal, so I guess I won't save up in the future. Only 3 golds.
Can confirm that Michael Sullivan, Incognito Kirk, Douglas Pabst, Ikatika, and Assimilated Hawk are indeed in the portal.
After pulling 405 total packs (177 single, 228 10x), recording the data, power leveling some newly fully-fused 4*s, and updating my spreadsheet, I am pretty whooped. Between lunch and after getting done with work, it took about three hours to do it all. I’m first going to dump the list of all the confirmations I have across the 10x pulls - I have screenshots for all but one and will only post them if people get crabby about it, because as excited as I am about everything that went down today, I am hungry and tired and don’t want to go any more cross-eyed than I already am. Sorry in advance for any duplications of confirmations from the last several posts.

I think I might also post pack results later. I did get enough honor for four citations (all went to Dr. Pollard), finished four ships (3* Breen Warship, Discovery, Reliant, and Ni’Var), got to level 8 on two more (5* Breen Warship and Captain Proton’s Ship), built two new ships (1701-A is now level 4 and the Valdore is level 5), and added between two and five levels to several others. I immortalized and froze Smuggler Kasidy, Malik, Tarquin, and Ambassador K’Ehleyr, and immortalized Enabran Tain, Kol, and Survivalist Kirk as well (plus Pollard from citations). Bonus: I got an extra star for Evolved Janeway and have 20% of the crew needed for a third.
I was going to call B***S*** on this pull about 3/4 way through, but it begolded me one I have wanted forever, plus the one schematic I needed to build my last ship! (Valdore) Overall quite happy! First Gold in (8) 10x pulls, BTW.
I notied that both mirror Sulu and Astrosciences Sulu are missing. Was that intentional? @Shan I feel like they should both be in there, they were both released prior to Conflicted Sisko.

Nice! Here’s one I got yesterday that you can properly cry foul on. I got lucky elsewhere so it evened out, but still.
Okay, so here's the total results with some statistics.
177 Single Pulls
Not surprisingly, this was mostly honor and schematics. The schematics seemed to be either weighted towards 4* ships (the Hirogen warship, Sphere 878, and the Avenger seemed particularly popular) and the newly-released 5* ships - across all 177 packs, I got 150 Sarcophagus, 150 Shenzhou, 150 Prakesh, 150 Ni'var, 150 ISS Enterprise, 150 Discovery, and 150 T'Ong schematics (no Bounty, Krayton, or other existing ships) and 300 1701-E, 150 Federation Fighter, 600 Pike's Enterprise, 150 Jem'Hadar Battleship, 300 Keldon-class, 300 Scimitar, 150 1701-A, 150 Valdore, 150 Xindi, and 150 Assimilated Voyager schematics. 1050 total existing 5* and 2400 new 5* schematics. Of course, there were 3300 existing 4* schematics, 900 existing 3* schematics, and 300 Breen 3* schematics to go along with those. 59 of 177 total drops were schematics.
For the 118 crew drops, there were seven total beholds, six of which were 4*s that I already had immortal and the one posted earlier that produced Mountaineer Spock (a second star, versus first stars for FO Riker and the Sphere Builder Presage). I didn't bother with screenshots on every pull but it did seem like there were a lot of Commander Chekovs and Sniper Ezris among the 3*s sent packing. Quirk of RNG? Sign that we're getting a Chekov soon? Who knows. Total honor received: 12,300.
228 10x Pulls
I heard ByloBand's words however many weeks ago it was, when he said it would be a grind to open so many at once. I certainly heard them but didn't feel them...until yesterday. With one exception (a display bug from a behold that made it impossible to see the center six drops from one pack), I recorded a lot of data here. Every schematic, every behold, and there were plenty of both. 109 total beholds were had, often only one at a time but there were a surprising number of double and even triple behold packs. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, only two of 228 packs contained no schematics - several cracked the 1000 honor mark thanks to multiple all-FF beholds but only those two were schematic-free. No straight 5* drops were observed. Mercifully, there were only a handful of pulls that yielded less than 700 honor - a few with 500-600, a couple with 400 (mostly with multiple beholds I wanted to keep, and one only gave up 200 (seven schematics and a behold I wanted to keep). I did also bank 1000 extra honor from immortalizing Tarquin (the Delphic Expanse collection) and Honey Bare (Our Man Bashir), so that was nice.
Thanks to some fortunate behold options, I was able to pull in 3 Coffee Janeways and 3 Mutated Parises, enough to give me a second star on Evolved Janeway (with a Coffee Janeway I already had) and leave behind two Parises for the next star. There seemed to be a run on certain characters - not counting straight drops (all but I think one of which were already FF), I saw Trader Odo, Bajoran Dukat, Lon Suder come up five times and Commander Barak, Vedek Bareil, Duchamps, Klingon Quark, Penk, and First Officer Saru come up 4 times. There were plenty more that popped up three times, and I still never got that last star for Disguised Chakotay.
The only 5* to come up three times was Interfaced Barclay; the first two beholds, I had other crew that I needed more (getting Dr. Soong one step closer to the freezer and a final star on Honey Bare) but figured the third time around that I better just take him...I do eventually know when to take a hint. Other 5*s to show up multiple times were AoS Data (needed others instead), Augment O'Brien (didn't want to fill up slots with a mid-tier gauntleteer), Elizabeth Dehner (desperately-wanted crew, yay!), Katrine (stars #2 and #3), Kol (took one for the final star), Lorian (tough choices led me to others instead), Maid Marian (a couple weeks too late), Portal 63 (there were better options), Survivalist Kirk (one was star #5), and Enabran Tain (stars #4 and #5).
Here are how the non-FF beholds (none of which were 5*s, thankfully) played out:
-6th star for Captain Spock, 1st star for Mirror Data, *5th star for Kol*
-1st star for Mirror Stamets, *2nd star for Vulcan Executioner*, 1st star for Pah-Wraith Cult Dukat (a tough one, but went with the Executioner because Stamets' ENG and MED are behind his SCI, and I don't need more SCI/ENG right now)
-1st star for Maid Marian, *2nd star for Senator Vreenak*, 1st star for Emotion Chip Data
-1 star for Coffee Janeway, *4th star for Tarquin*, dupe of Mirror Archer (tough to say no to Evolved Janeway fuel but this was a long time coming)
-1st star for AoS Data, *4th star for Enabran Tain*, 1st star for Duelist Torres
-2nd star for Loque'eque Sato, *4th star for Dr. Soong*, 1st star for Interfaced Barclay (not a standard choice, but Soong is now directly vying with Minuet for first frozen 5*)
-1st star for Lorian, *1st star for Elizabeth Dehner*, 2nd star for Dancing Chekov (slots are temporarily tight with all the mega event bonus crew but I couldn't say no to someone near the top of my want list)
All of these were within the first 21 packs I opened. I then had a 30-pack streak with only all-immortal 4* beholds (17 in total). The next 33 packs yielded the following:
-1st star for Romulan Data, dupe of Gangster Kirk, *5th star for Enabran Tain*
-1st star for Weyoun 5, *4th star for Mariachi Q*, 1st star for Admiral Janeway
-dupe of Lewis Zimmerman, *1 star for Coffee Janeway*, dupe of Airiam (two stars on Janeway or three on Paris to get a second star for Evolved Janeway)
-triple behold (one all-FF): dupe of Victorian Pulaski, dupe of Lon Suder, *2nd star for Smuggler Kasidy Yates*; *3rd star for Enemy Lines Sisko*, second 1st star for Convergence Day Quark, 1st star for Trader Worf (I airlocked the free CD Quark we all got before honor was introduced, figuring I would never buy enough packs to finish him and that I needed the crew slot space)
-dupe of Tolian Soran, dupe of Army Chaplain Odo, *4th star for Ambassador K'Ehleyr* (she was the oldest 4* I hadn't yet FFed)
Over the next nine packs I actually turned out 10 beholds...all FFed, though. At this point I still held out hope for that last star I need on Disguised Chakotay or for some stars on Admiral Dougherty. The next 45 packs produced these crew:
-dupe of Ambassador Sarek, *3rd star for Malik*, dupe of Sloan
-1st star on First Officer Chekov, dupe of Mirror Kirk, *5th star on Survivalist Kirk*
-1st star on Captain Lorca, 1st star on Temporal Agent Daniels, *2nd star on Katrine*
-dupe of Ba'ku Worf, dupe of Tourist Quark, *1 star for Mutated Paris* (now two stars on either Janeway or Paris for Evolved Janeway)
-*5th star for Honey Bare Jadzia*, 1st star for Interfaced Barclay, 2nd star for Mirror Spock
-*1 star for Coffee Janeway*, dupe of Ruk, dupe of Anij (one Janeway or two Parises to go)
-dupe of Kelby, dupe of Penk, *1 star for Mutated Paris (aaaargh)
-triple behold (again with one all-FF): 1st star for Grand Nagus Zek, *2nd star for Mirror Regent Worf*, 1st star for EV Suit Burnham; 1st star for Admiral Cartwright, 1st star for Fennim, *1st star for Sergey and Helena Rozhenko* (that last one was tough, as I didn't really want any of them and none have any expected event potential - I went with the characters I liked the most)
-*2nd star for Agent Janeway*, 1st star for AoS Data, 1st star for Mademoiselle de Neuf (I thought about taking Seven but still didn't want to get into slot trouble with 90ish packs left to open)
This was a pretty good run, being able to immortalize two legendary crew and getting that much closer to a second star for Evolved Janeway. Then again, I got a couple of very uninspiring 5* beholds as well. The next run of packs was a little lighter on beholds but had some fantastic options:
-*1st star for EV Suit Seven of Nine*, 1st star for Mirror Reed, 1st star for Maid Marian
-dupe of Grand Nagus Rom, 1st star for Captain Silva La Forge, *1st star for Resistance Neelix*
-*2nd star for Elizabeth Dehner*, 1st star for First Officer Riker, 2nd star for Trelane (as much as I like Trelane and was thrilled to get his first star, I still couldn't say no to Dehner)
-1st star for Portal 63, 1st star for Naked Phlox, *2nd star for Reverend Phlox* (that was tough...if we hadn't had a run of SCI/MED crew recently I probably would have taken Phlox, Au Naturel instead; like the choice to avoid Mirror Stamets, the skill combo I need the most wouldn't have been helped all that much)
-triple behold: *3rd star for Captain Braxton*, 2nd star for Falcon O'Brien, 1st star for Augment O'Brien; dupe of Sybok, dupe of Subcommander T'Pol, *2nd star for Irumodic Syndrome Picard*; *2nd star for Tempted Data*, dupe of Survivalist Kirk, dupe of Kol (wow)
Two Phloxes in the same behold? The #1 overall voyager? Another languishing 4* crew one step closer to the freezer? Even though that first behold was the one that dropped a paltry 200 honor and the second wasn't terribly exciting, this was a fantastic set of 34 packs. The next 17 packs had nothing worth mentioning (more all-FF beholds) but the final run was excellent, including a straight drop of the last Coffee Janeway I needed to create a 2nd star for Evolved Janeway.
-1st star for Solar Sails Sisko, dupe of Etana Jol, *1st star for North Star Tucker* (another tough one - Sisko with ENG or help a tough collection...I went with the collection)
-1st star for Augment Picard, *1st star for Interfaced Barclay*, 1st star for Portal 63 (okay, RNGesus, I'll do it...not like the other two options here are all that exciting anyway)
-*3rd star for Katrine*, 2nd star for Tora Ziyal, 3rd star for Frank Hollander (as much as Data-with-COM/SEC would help, I've used Katrine more often - which is to say, still almost not at all - and it was really just a coin flip)
-straight drop of the 3rd star for Smuggler Kasidy
-2nd star for AoS Riker, *3rd star for Emperor Philippa Georgiou*, 1st star for Lorian
-1st star for Captain Sisko, 2nd star for Ushaan Archer, *4th star for 1701 Sisko*
-dupe of Bareil, dupe of Dixon Hill, 1 star for Mutated Paris (1 Janeway and 2 Parises to go for star #3 on Evolved Janeway)
-triple behold (only one useful though): dupe of Tourist Reed, dupe of Weyoun 4, *4th star for Malik*
-dupe of Surak, 1st star for Augment O'Brien, *1st star for Gloria*
-dupe of First Officer Saru, dupe of Shras, *4th star for Smuggler Kasidy Yates
26 total 5* crew (1.14% drop rate, almost on top of the textbook number), 14 total useful 4* crew. Four 5*s immortalized (Survivalist Kirk, Honey Bare, Enabran Tain, Kol), enough honor (179,100+1,000 from collections) added to my existing reserve to immortalize another by citations (Dr. Pollard), three more 5*s brought up to 4/5* (1701 Sisko, Mariachi Q, Dr. Soong), and seven new 5*s. Plus Braxton, Emperor Georgiou, and Katrine to 3/5*. Plus a second star for Evolved Janeway and four slots cleared from newly-immortal 4*s. Average honor per pull was about 785, in line with expectations.
I won't break down the schematics too much, as this post is getting awful long. There is one schematic that I am missing due to that display bug - could be anything, because I didn't count the number of schematics per ship beforehand, just the levels. The spread between new (17,100) and old (15,900) 5*s was nowhere near as large as with the single pulls (chalk it up to a much larger sample set). I ended up with 22,700 3* schematics (2,500 of which were for the 3* Breen Warship) and 31,950 4* schematics. Given that 3* schematics only drop 100 at a time instead of 150, the percentages work out a little under the 10.13% mark quoted for each - 9.65% 5*, 9.34% 4*, and 9.96% 3*. Between a slightly higher overall 3*/4* crew drop rate and multiple ships completed or at least made useful for voyages with trait bonuses (including the Scimitar boosted to level 8 today from arena rewards), I'll take it.
All in all, I'm glad I waited. Finishing Survivalist Kirk and Kol without citations wouldn't have been possible if I didn't hoard packs and who knows how long it would have taken (or how expensive it could have been) to get Elizabeth Dehner. The new schematics, though, might have just as much of a long-term impact - I didn't expect DB to dump all of the new ships, even the Federation Fighter, and the extra ships that are now better than a 5* without a trait bonus should help with voyages very nicely. Not to mention, it's nice to see a two-digit number hovering over the time portal instead of a three-digit number.
Congrats Dirk! That's quite a haul. (And given the number of packs, I'm kind-of glad you decided to just post summary info instead of 200+ screenshots.)

I didn't save as , many portals as some of you guys, but glad I saved some;) Got 10 Gold beholds out of 60 single portals and 35 10x portals, all of which I needed;) Pretty good ratio if you ask me. Also got about 4 purples I needed to fuse and 3 of the new ones.

Grats. I had a pretty terrible result with 69 x 10 packs and 89 single pulls. Got zero legends from the single pulls, and 6 begolds from the 69 10 packs. Disappointing to say the least. Reading these threads of people getting boothby, gary seven, stranded quark, etc are very depressing. I had none above tier 3 of the big book.
On the plus side, at least I got a big pile of useful SRs. I FF about 14 of them including a couple of duplicates I was working on, even though I've got most main cast SR done. Zero coffee janeway or mutated paris though.

All single pulls were honor, 3 packs were too (super-glad that it was not more). Got 4 legendaries (2nd star on Away Team Saru, 2nd star on Prince Bashir, 1st star on The Keeper and 1st star on Age of Sail Riker). There were several packs with more than one behold, the best was 1x legendary and 2x super-rare.

Overall I am pleased. The only downside was that I had to freeze 3 useful purples
to make room and could not keep any rares. But they come along all the time anyway.
Smuggler Kasidy Yates in the update!
(Well, I guess until someone shows a screenshot, she doesn't. But I cannot wait to clear her from my silhouette list.)
I did not take screenshots, but I had her as a straight drop and in one behold where I chose someone else.
You may commence the unicorn hunt.
very nice, the rare 4* jury rigger! Now...has anybody gotten wine Picard yet?
I got 16 golds
Enough honour for 2 legendary citations
Another star for evolved Janeway
A star at least for all the nee 4 stars except one zero.
Happy days!
Nope, but my voyage just dropped 2 Galens.
I'll be joining the festivities when I get home tonight. If I get any good ones, I'll share pics!
Yup. The two I most wanted to add stars to. It was a good pack day.
Can confirm that Michael Sullivan, Incognito Kirk, Douglas Pabst, Ikatika, and Assimilated Hawk are indeed in the portal.

I think I might also post pack results later. I did get enough honor for four citations (all went to Dr. Pollard), finished four ships (3* Breen Warship, Discovery, Reliant, and Ni’Var), got to level 8 on two more (5* Breen Warship and Captain Proton’s Ship), built two new ships (1701-A is now level 4 and the Valdore is level 5), and added between two and five levels to several others. I immortalized and froze Smuggler Kasidy, Malik, Tarquin, and Ambassador K’Ehleyr, and immortalized Enabran Tain, Kol, and Survivalist Kirk as well (plus Pollard from citations). Bonus: I got an extra star for Evolved Janeway and have 20% of the crew needed for a third.
Time for a rest...
5 useful Purple *
4 Golds
I also leveled 6 ships and got nearly 30k in honor.
Because he's not a "drop" crew but an achievement reward. Just like the crew in the honor hall, I wouldn't expect him to ever get added to the portal.
Nice! Here’s one I got yesterday that you can properly cry foul on. I got lucky elsewhere so it evened out, but still.
177 Single Pulls
Not surprisingly, this was mostly honor and schematics. The schematics seemed to be either weighted towards 4* ships (the Hirogen warship, Sphere 878, and the Avenger seemed particularly popular) and the newly-released 5* ships - across all 177 packs, I got 150 Sarcophagus, 150 Shenzhou, 150 Prakesh, 150 Ni'var, 150 ISS Enterprise, 150 Discovery, and 150 T'Ong schematics (no Bounty, Krayton, or other existing ships) and 300 1701-E, 150 Federation Fighter, 600 Pike's Enterprise, 150 Jem'Hadar Battleship, 300 Keldon-class, 300 Scimitar, 150 1701-A, 150 Valdore, 150 Xindi, and 150 Assimilated Voyager schematics. 1050 total existing 5* and 2400 new 5* schematics. Of course, there were 3300 existing 4* schematics, 900 existing 3* schematics, and 300 Breen 3* schematics to go along with those. 59 of 177 total drops were schematics.
For the 118 crew drops, there were seven total beholds, six of which were 4*s that I already had immortal and the one posted earlier that produced Mountaineer Spock (a second star, versus first stars for FO Riker and the Sphere Builder Presage). I didn't bother with screenshots on every pull but it did seem like there were a lot of Commander Chekovs and Sniper Ezris among the 3*s sent packing. Quirk of RNG? Sign that we're getting a Chekov soon? Who knows. Total honor received: 12,300.
228 10x Pulls
I heard ByloBand's words however many weeks ago it was, when he said it would be a grind to open so many at once. I certainly heard them but didn't feel them...until yesterday. With one exception (a display bug from a behold that made it impossible to see the center six drops from one pack), I recorded a lot of data here. Every schematic, every behold, and there were plenty of both. 109 total beholds were had, often only one at a time but there were a surprising number of double and even triple behold packs. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, only two of 228 packs contained no schematics - several cracked the 1000 honor mark thanks to multiple all-FF beholds but only those two were schematic-free. No straight 5* drops were observed. Mercifully, there were only a handful of pulls that yielded less than 700 honor - a few with 500-600, a couple with 400 (mostly with multiple beholds I wanted to keep, and one only gave up 200 (seven schematics and a behold I wanted to keep). I did also bank 1000 extra honor from immortalizing Tarquin (the Delphic Expanse collection) and Honey Bare (Our Man Bashir), so that was nice.
Thanks to some fortunate behold options, I was able to pull in 3 Coffee Janeways and 3 Mutated Parises, enough to give me a second star on Evolved Janeway (with a Coffee Janeway I already had) and leave behind two Parises for the next star. There seemed to be a run on certain characters - not counting straight drops (all but I think one of which were already FF), I saw Trader Odo, Bajoran Dukat, Lon Suder come up five times and Commander Barak, Vedek Bareil, Duchamps, Klingon Quark, Penk, and First Officer Saru come up 4 times. There were plenty more that popped up three times, and I still never got that last star for Disguised Chakotay.
The only 5* to come up three times was Interfaced Barclay; the first two beholds, I had other crew that I needed more (getting Dr. Soong one step closer to the freezer and a final star on Honey Bare) but figured the third time around that I better just take him...I do eventually know when to take a hint. Other 5*s to show up multiple times were AoS Data (needed others instead), Augment O'Brien (didn't want to fill up slots with a mid-tier gauntleteer), Elizabeth Dehner (desperately-wanted crew, yay!), Katrine (stars #2 and #3), Kol (took one for the final star), Lorian (tough choices led me to others instead), Maid Marian (a couple weeks too late), Portal 63 (there were better options), Survivalist Kirk (one was star #5), and Enabran Tain (stars #4 and #5).
Here are how the non-FF beholds (none of which were 5*s, thankfully) played out:
-6th star for Captain Spock, 1st star for Mirror Data, *5th star for Kol*
-1st star for Mirror Stamets, *2nd star for Vulcan Executioner*, 1st star for Pah-Wraith Cult Dukat (a tough one, but went with the Executioner because Stamets' ENG and MED are behind his SCI, and I don't need more SCI/ENG right now)
-1st star for Maid Marian, *2nd star for Senator Vreenak*, 1st star for Emotion Chip Data
-1 star for Coffee Janeway, *4th star for Tarquin*, dupe of Mirror Archer (tough to say no to Evolved Janeway fuel but this was a long time coming)
-1st star for AoS Data, *4th star for Enabran Tain*, 1st star for Duelist Torres
-2nd star for Loque'eque Sato, *4th star for Dr. Soong*, 1st star for Interfaced Barclay (not a standard choice, but Soong is now directly vying with Minuet for first frozen 5*)
-1st star for Lorian, *1st star for Elizabeth Dehner*, 2nd star for Dancing Chekov (slots are temporarily tight with all the mega event bonus crew but I couldn't say no to someone near the top of my want list)
All of these were within the first 21 packs I opened. I then had a 30-pack streak with only all-immortal 4* beholds (17 in total). The next 33 packs yielded the following:
-1st star for Romulan Data, dupe of Gangster Kirk, *5th star for Enabran Tain*
-1st star for Weyoun 5, *4th star for Mariachi Q*, 1st star for Admiral Janeway
-dupe of Lewis Zimmerman, *1 star for Coffee Janeway*, dupe of Airiam (two stars on Janeway or three on Paris to get a second star for Evolved Janeway)
-triple behold (one all-FF): dupe of Victorian Pulaski, dupe of Lon Suder, *2nd star for Smuggler Kasidy Yates*; *3rd star for Enemy Lines Sisko*, second 1st star for Convergence Day Quark, 1st star for Trader Worf (I airlocked the free CD Quark we all got before honor was introduced, figuring I would never buy enough packs to finish him and that I needed the crew slot space)
-dupe of Tolian Soran, dupe of Army Chaplain Odo, *4th star for Ambassador K'Ehleyr* (she was the oldest 4* I hadn't yet FFed)
Over the next nine packs I actually turned out 10 beholds...all FFed, though. At this point I still held out hope for that last star I need on Disguised Chakotay or for some stars on Admiral Dougherty. The next 45 packs produced these crew:
-dupe of Ambassador Sarek, *3rd star for Malik*, dupe of Sloan
-1st star on First Officer Chekov, dupe of Mirror Kirk, *5th star on Survivalist Kirk*

-*2nd star for Agent Janeway*, 1st star for AoS Data, 1st star for Mademoiselle de Neuf (I thought about taking Seven but still didn't want to get into slot trouble with 90ish packs left to open)
[post 1/2]
This was a pretty good run, being able to immortalize two legendary crew and getting that much closer to a second star for Evolved Janeway. Then again, I got a couple of very uninspiring 5* beholds as well. The next run of packs was a little lighter on beholds but had some fantastic options:
-*1st star for EV Suit Seven of Nine*, 1st star for Mirror Reed, 1st star for Maid Marian
-dupe of Grand Nagus Rom, 1st star for Captain Silva La Forge, *1st star for Resistance Neelix*
-*2nd star for Elizabeth Dehner*, 1st star for First Officer Riker, 2nd star for Trelane (as much as I like Trelane and was thrilled to get his first star, I still couldn't say no to Dehner)
-1st star for Portal 63, 1st star for Naked Phlox, *2nd star for Reverend Phlox* (that was tough...if we hadn't had a run of SCI/MED crew recently I probably would have taken Phlox, Au Naturel instead; like the choice to avoid Mirror Stamets, the skill combo I need the most wouldn't have been helped all that much)
-triple behold: *3rd star for Captain Braxton*, 2nd star for Falcon O'Brien, 1st star for Augment O'Brien; dupe of Sybok, dupe of Subcommander T'Pol, *2nd star for Irumodic Syndrome Picard*; *2nd star for Tempted Data*, dupe of Survivalist Kirk, dupe of Kol (wow)
Two Phloxes in the same behold? The #1 overall voyager? Another languishing 4* crew one step closer to the freezer? Even though that first behold was the one that dropped a paltry 200 honor and the second wasn't terribly exciting, this was a fantastic set of 34 packs. The next 17 packs had nothing worth mentioning (more all-FF beholds) but the final run was excellent, including a straight drop of the last Coffee Janeway I needed to create a 2nd star for Evolved Janeway.
-1st star for Solar Sails Sisko, dupe of Etana Jol, *1st star for North Star Tucker* (another tough one - Sisko with ENG or help a tough collection...I went with the collection)
-1st star for Augment Picard, *1st star for Interfaced Barclay*, 1st star for Portal 63 (okay, RNGesus, I'll do it...not like the other two options here are all that exciting anyway)
-*3rd star for Katrine*, 2nd star for Tora Ziyal, 3rd star for Frank Hollander (as much as Data-with-COM/SEC would help, I've used Katrine more often - which is to say, still almost not at all - and it was really just a coin flip)
-straight drop of the 3rd star for Smuggler Kasidy
-2nd star for AoS Riker, *3rd star for Emperor Philippa Georgiou*, 1st star for Lorian
-1st star for Captain Sisko, 2nd star for Ushaan Archer, *4th star for 1701 Sisko*
-dupe of Bareil, dupe of Dixon Hill, 1 star for Mutated Paris (1 Janeway and 2 Parises to go for star #3 on Evolved Janeway)
-triple behold (only one useful though): dupe of Tourist Reed, dupe of Weyoun 4, *4th star for Malik*
-dupe of Surak, 1st star for Augment O'Brien, *1st star for Gloria*
-dupe of First Officer Saru, dupe of Shras, *4th star for Smuggler Kasidy Yates
26 total 5* crew (1.14% drop rate, almost on top of the textbook number), 14 total useful 4* crew. Four 5*s immortalized (Survivalist Kirk, Honey Bare, Enabran Tain, Kol), enough honor (179,100+1,000 from collections) added to my existing reserve to immortalize another by citations (Dr. Pollard), three more 5*s brought up to 4/5* (1701 Sisko, Mariachi Q, Dr. Soong), and seven new 5*s. Plus Braxton, Emperor Georgiou, and Katrine to 3/5*. Plus a second star for Evolved Janeway and four slots cleared from newly-immortal 4*s. Average honor per pull was about 785, in line with expectations.
I won't break down the schematics too much, as this post is getting awful long. There is one schematic that I am missing due to that display bug - could be anything, because I didn't count the number of schematics per ship beforehand, just the levels. The spread between new (17,100) and old (15,900) 5*s was nowhere near as large as with the single pulls (chalk it up to a much larger sample set). I ended up with 22,700 3* schematics (2,500 of which were for the 3* Breen Warship) and 31,950 4* schematics. Given that 3* schematics only drop 100 at a time instead of 150, the percentages work out a little under the 10.13% mark quoted for each - 9.65% 5*, 9.34% 4*, and 9.96% 3*. Between a slightly higher overall 3*/4* crew drop rate and multiple ships completed or at least made useful for voyages with trait bonuses (including the Scimitar boosted to level 8 today from arena rewards), I'll take it.
All in all, I'm glad I waited. Finishing Survivalist Kirk and Kol without citations wouldn't have been possible if I didn't hoard packs and who knows how long it would have taken (or how expensive it could have been) to get Elizabeth Dehner. The new schematics, though, might have just as much of a long-term impact - I didn't expect DB to dump all of the new ships, even the Federation Fighter, and the extra ships that are now better than a 5* without a trait bonus should help with voyages very nicely. Not to mention, it's nice to see a two-digit number hovering over the time portal instead of a three-digit number.
You and me both, thanks!
Grats. I had a pretty terrible result with 69 x 10 packs and 89 single pulls. Got zero legends from the single pulls, and 6 begolds from the 69 10 packs. Disappointing to say the least. Reading these threads of people getting boothby, gary seven, stranded quark, etc are very depressing. I had none above tier 3 of the big book.
On the plus side, at least I got a big pile of useful SRs. I FF about 14 of them including a couple of duplicates I was working on, even though I've got most main cast SR done. Zero coffee janeway or mutated paris though.
A more modest stockpile than some, but I'm pleased with the results.
I got it at Ross
First star on the elusive Tarquin, General of the Empire of Blood creepy loner of the Delphic Expanse
A visualy appealing behold. Tough call but went with Bashir.
Yates earning stars
Also built Enterprise-A and upgraded a host of other ships
Was having so much fun I took advantage of today's pack offer.
Putting the citation from the Leland campaign on someone else was a shrewd plan.
Call me crazy but I went with Troi
More Tarquin!
Choose Action Jake
And with all that honor I pulled anouther behold from the HH. As much as immortalizing Durango would be satisfying, I can't resist Sarah Silverman
