Well we knew even before the start of the Mega that Skirmishes would be in week 2. So if i had to choose between burning my entire chrons on the galaxy before, or doing it on the skirmishes, where you get some great loot and chrons on top, my vote would have been easy. But thats just me.

Do we know for sure that Data Q won't count as a Data variant in the future?
You would think Afterlife Q and Q2 would have instant activations...not 12 seconds.
That's eternity for a Q
This. The only reason to burn hard in this week’s event is if you really like Q2 either by himself or as help for the last two events of the month.
Ummm no. Dolim has never been event crew.
If he counted as a Data, then variants of Data should provide a bonus. For that reason, I wish he were named Android Q. I assume he's an android, anyway.
New crew member I want most out of this whole mega? Check.
Chance to FF an existing 4* who will level me up in a Collection? Check.
Yeah, I'm in. I have stuff planned for Friday and Saturday, but should be able to squeeze in enough laying time to hang in there.
Flotation Device Data here we come!
I think it would have been announced. Pretty sure injured Torres was. But... How about a new 2* version of Q2?
Huh. Thanks. Not sure why I though that. Maybe I'm just thinking weird overly-made-up alien with weak set of only SEC-CMD combo . . . like Gorn Captain.

A crew I've wanted for a long time being offered as the ranked reward of a mega event in the event type I enjoy the best?!?! I am making 100% of my chroniton reserves available for next weekend!
It's standard for new 2* or 3* to be in the official event announcement, but not the Key Information thread. Here's the Key Information post for the event in which Injured Torres appeared:
What triggers positions? I'm afraid I don't pay enough attention to ship abilities.
No, it's next month's (September).
