This is true, and honestly that has kind of become my new primary goal as well as once I made the decision to go for Indulgent Seven, she is my new #1 priority for immortalization, and truthfully from a purely game perspective, she is worth it. We have several good voyage options in the ENG/SCI/MED department now, but to my knowledge Indulgent Seven is the only one with MED as the high score, and therefore a bit of a unicorn. I am positive when I have her immortalized in a month or so my voyage times will get a lot better.
Someone had a nice post earlier this week or maybe last week that listed all the ENG/MED/SCI crew and Imprinted Archer has MED primary with ENG secondary. A few, like Leonardo and Nude Phlox, have SCI primary instead.
I didn't realize how good Imprinted Archer was when he came out. But... I've never got a legendary from a Tuesday pack, so it might not have mattered. I just hope I never see him in a behold with Usurper Lorca and Stranded Quark.
I’m totally waiting for Imprinted Archer to show up on my Dabo wheel
So you can spend 26K Dils to obtain him?
No. About 7k
I believe you can wait to use the ad dabo spin towards the end of your dabo chase to save thousands of dilithium. Does not seem to be a time that you have to use the ad spin so you can wait. You probably already employ this.
I believe @Paladin 27 has stated the best time to use the free spin is when you are on the second-to-last spin.
That too is a gamble. The possibility of saving more dilithium versus saving none
I don't think I really have any goals in the game at the moment. I guess getting all the stars on the map, but I haven't put any effort at all into that in, well, I can't remember the last time I did a new mission for any other reason than to have got through the story (and getting Q recently, of course). I'd kind of like to have all the Kiras, but I missed out on Vegas Kira, and it's not like I was using citations on the ones I had anyway. I suppose the game's more a pastime than a pursuit for me, I like Star Trek so I'm happy to while away half an hour here and there keeping up with the game and gathering new 4*s when they appear. But I feel like it's never going to be 'complete' - like, I'm the kind of person who will spend ages hunting down every little thing in a game to get 100%, but in STT the only way to do that would be spending big, and since I'm not willing to do that, I don't feel like there's any need to put in extra effort - like going all out on events, or making sure my voyages are crewed as effectively as possible - just to get from, say, 45% complete to 47% when I'm never going to get further than that anyway.
Which isn't a complaint about the game really, it's just that it is what it is. There are things I'd like - that missing Kira, various other legendaries I really like but haven't got - but none of that feels bucket-worthy to me, in the sense that 'I need to do this before bucket time'. Hopefully it's the game kicking the bucket, not me (not that I'm in a hurry to see STT go away, but I'd like to stick around a while myself as well).
I've been brainstorming ever since @Banjo1012 created this thread, and I think I'm largely in the same place as @Kaitee. I have 3-starred every mission and cadet challenge, though, and I have some other collecting interests, but none that I feel all that strongly about, in large part because, as Kaitee noted, completing those sets requires far more resources than I can, or would, commit to the game.
I've even been contemplating stepping away entirely, at least for awhile, but I do still enjoy Timelines enough that I'm content to keep seeking those bursts of dopamine from it... For now, anyway.

You can save up 200k in honor and never spend it until you get the legendary you love. Then try to immortalize it first.

Eh, I made my peace long ago with the fact I'll never be the FTM anyone. It's not important to me. Plus, there aren't many remaining on my wishlist that I'm so gaga over that I'd even care. Maybe Chancellor Azetbur or Niners Ezri. Maybe.
Now, are we going by the total of the two comments or just mine? Then subtracting your veto? If so we are at 4. If it’s just my comment minus your vetos then we are at 1. Prolly just be easier to do a poll, especially if we could make it anonymous. Who wants The Banj to shut up forever?

This is my bucket list. I should hit 99 in about 3-4 months and Gauntlet rounds in about a month. The immortalizing of crew achievement will definitely take much longer and I am sure that once I do hit 600 that it will be extended again. I just don't get enough 5-star crew to push that number high enough. Once the portal update happens sometime this month I should be able to hit 500 without much problem.

You know you can immortalize the same crew over and over and over. I have
like 15 one star mccoys. Get the greys in voyages, lvl them up to 100 and vault em. Vault copies over and over. Get that dilithium. Avoid keiko and wesley greys though, they are annoying to lvl up.

I know I could, I just have chosen not to go that route for that achievement and want to go the slower natural way of completing the achievement. The portal update in a few weeks will open up 18-20 more crew for me to immortalize with the missing 2-star and 4-star crew I missed out on while I took a break between November 2018 and February 2019.

It's definitely your Awesomes minus Bylo's Veto Awesomes. May the total never exceed 0.

A divided forum?! I am shocked, shocked I say, to read this news!
"In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it's us players who define the game." — Nicky Case, The Evolution of Trust
A divided forum?! I am shocked, shocked I say, to read this news!
There might just be some of us, eager for the Q event, who might've just awesome'd both posts.
You know, in the spirit of Q.
Awesome everything and let Shan decide.
I was booted once for a week or two. It was disturbing to see the picture of Banjo with bars over it.
Oh no. I know that feeling, not from DB though. When I played Vega Conflict and the game got completely changed to become nothing but a cash grab I was routinely suspended and kicked from forum for calling out the Kixeye company. Anyone who thinks Star Trek Timelines is nothing but a cash grab I encourage them to play Vega Conflict and see what a real cash grab is.

Mine was t like that. I didn’t think it was all that bad but I do understand why she felt that step was justified. Sounds like you were silenced for calling out shady ways of the company. They’re definitely not going to like that
Maybe I'll make "getting suspended from the forum" a bucket list item. I'd probably have already done that if not for discovering the mute feature about a year ago.

Ha! The twisted part inside me likes that!
Well, you're not helping by being supportive!
I thought that’s what you wanted!
Where's the logic in offering me support, you idiot?! If I wanted support, would I be trying to get suspended? *attempts Vulcan nerve pinch*
More seriously, though, and back on topic, I found this post of my goals in a thread started by @Female Klingon Q on the old forum
I only set one real goal, which was to hit “50/50” as F2P (Captain level 50/50 immortalized crew members). I managed to do that a few months ago right around the time of my anniversary. There are a few other things that, while I wouldn’t quite classify them as goals, interest me:
Missions
3-star everything. I still have quite a few of these remaining. Now that a crit is guaranteed to drop the reward, I should be able to accomplish this relatively easily. I just need to remember to do it when farming instead of taking the lowest-cost mission I’ve already cleared!
Events
Earn the 1/5 reward in Expeditions. I’ve been able to do this in the last three full Expeditions. I was too sick to really play much of last month’s Faction/Expedition hybrid.
Collecting
I wouldn’t go so far as to call these “goals”. They’re more “wish lists”. Present collection totals are noted.
-Ezri personae (4/4)
-Odo personae (4/6)
-Mirror Universe personae and ships (10/16 crew, 1/1 ship)
-Niners* personae (0/3)
-Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country personae (3/7)
-Expedition Event reward crew members** (18/21)
*Total includes Umpire Odo with the Niners, even though he technically wasn’t one.
**Total includes threshold 2*s and 3*s, and rank reward 3*s. Excludes pack-only Beowulf Kim.
So lessee... Every mission has been 3-starred. (I totally forgot that crits didn't used to guarantee a rare drop!) There have been no further Expeditions since that post, and I disregard the watered down Hybrids. As for my little collections:
-Ezri personae (4/4) [We have not had a new one since 4* Waitress, added 10/5/16!]
-Odo personae (8/9) [I was hospitalized when the event with Army Chaplain Odo ran]
-Mirror Universe personae and ships (32/42 crew, 1/1 ship)
-Niners* personae (4/5) [missing Worf]
-Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country personae (10/13)
-Expedition Event reward crew members** (21/21) [previous post overlooked Bashir, Julian Bashir, who was pack-only during "Holograms Are Forever"]
- Consistently be able to do 10hr voyages no matter which skills/ships are next up. I've reached 10hrs a few times, but I'm typically around 9.5hrs now. So this is a longer-term goal.
- Complete the top-5 event achievement. I've been 10th before, and I do not think I'll ever be able to dedicate enough time to go for first, so 5th place will be my Mt Everest. Not that 5th wouldn't require a bunch of time too, but it seems more feasible than what it takes to win one.
Check one off the bucket list.
Well fought, EchoPapa607 (4th place) - went back and forth for ~24hrs. Condolences to TGE Admiral Moz (6th) - was ahead of both of us until the end, but the competition between EchoPapa and I ended up driving us past the Admiral. And of course, congrats to SilverRose, mejoyh, and Captain Tatem for making the race for 5th seem easy by comparison (SilverRose had nearly double my score - yikes!).
Comments
That too is a gamble. The possibility of saving more dilithium versus saving none
Ten awesome’s and I will

OR, 10 Awesomes to this to veto!

Thank you my friend
If you do it Amanda Rogers will be either locked for you or you cannot fuse her, so...
It's definitely your Awesomes minus Bylo's Veto Awesomes. May the total never exceed 0.
