Amanda Rogers...Human?

I think since Amanda Rogers lived her entire life as a human, she should have the 'human' trait as well as 'Q Continuum' trait. What do you guys think?
I want to become a Dilionaire...

Human comes up a lot in voyages especially in medical skill. This is mine today.
Regardless of the storyline, we have so many characters in this game that have multiples of traits that are questionable, but occur at some point in their storyline.
TO be more on point for this character, I cite Human Q, who identifies as Q forever before the episode, then appears to be human for a few hours/days whatever, and he has both Human and Q Continuum traits.
Amanda "identifies" as Human her entire life, then only "becomes" Q when her powers are unleashed by Q.
Excellent point, since he has both traits, it would make sense. The only other consideration would be the competitive nature of the traits in the game which DB manages. We can petition for the addition, but they will have to review it before changing.

I am not sure Banjo knows how forums work.
She's #82 on the voyage rankings, so fairly pedestrian in a vacuum. Other than the ENG/MED being flipped, she's not very different from Mirror Stamets. MED is a much better secondary to have, and she will play better than the raw numbers suggest.
Except that base (shuttle) stats don't matter much with so few events. Her voyage total is barely above the keeper who's been around forever, with a similar event count. Personally I'd invest more in crew that would get more use and push voyages longer. Not many options for sci/med, but at least QOD will help there.
Plus Keeper is in the portal already, while she won't be there forever. I like the art in this mega, but so far the crew have not been exciting besides the recurring.
True for event potential, but she'll be a great B team when your main cast are tied up.
Burnham does not have the Vulcan trait, and is as deserving as the human trait here.
a) Her parents were Q, but living as humans. This is a regular punishment in the Continum. This meant being human fully. They had normal lifespans and had to do everything humans have to do to stay alive. They were human genetically and could have human children, a convenient loophole to Q Jr.
b) She was raised by and lived among humans in human society on the human homeworld. Thus, there is a cultural connection.
c) After she accends to Qhood, she maintains her human appearance. Disguises and costumes have provided trait bonuses in many instances.
She will be event crew for the next two events and quite possibly any Q events in the future. Keeper is a good card but he has not been an event crew in even one event and he is sci-med-com not sci-med-eng. Do many people even have the Keeper guy? I got him from a Tuesday pack. As with anything though, quality depends on what you already have. I am weak on sci-med and am happy to pair Amanda with Q as "God".
I immortalized my Keeper earlier this summer as my first true SCI/MED (or MED/SCI) legendary crew, shortly followed by the Mobile Doctor. The Keeper’s monster SCI proficiency, double 1000+ base skills, and rare skill combination have led to plenty of voyage use even when SCI and MED aren’t the two featured skills.
Between those two, Qod, and Amanda, SCI/MED will have gone from a weakness two months ago to something I don’t have to really worry about anymore. And even though it’s a tertiary skill, Amanda’s ENG can only help even though I don’t feel all that terrible about my ENG/MED crew. Am I going to cite her immediately for that? I don’t think so, as I have a few other priorities first...but she’ll be closer to the top than the bottom.
I’m going to DYC and cute her right up because I’ve been waiting for her for a very long time
The Keeper has been bonus crew in six previous events, four of which were Factions or Faction hybrids.
I'm a bit pessimistic on future Continuum events; when they added the Q Continuum trait to the game, they also gave John de Lancie variants their own invisible trait, probably to differentiate him for future events. Who knows, though.
