    None of these crew seem very good.

    The new 5* Colonel or General or whatever-rank Q has a 3 second accuracy boost. Combine that with the Quick-load Spock (Mountaineer?) with attack bonus and Killy and you have a powerful quick punch. I just wish I had Killy.

    Anybody have a list of the best crew to use? I'm trying to decide who to unfreeze
    Thanks

    Event crew, Q Continuum, and Ro. The announcement lists the crew.

    I'm not a moron.

    I meant, which crew with the Continuum or Scoundrel traits have the best base scores, so I know which ones to unfreeze.

    Please forgive me if my response came across as insulting. I had intended it to be helpful. I realize it seems obvious, but I've asked a bunch of questions here that were more obvious and people are generally helpful. No insult is intended; I simply read the question differently than you meant it.

    I don't think you need to apologise for obviously trying to be helpful when the reality is someone just wants to be spoon-fed.

    Apologies for misunderstandings help foster good-will and are free and easy. These forums, too often, need more of that. And the question as clarified is good. Many people post such information about which crew are most likely to fill different positions. For me, I simply unfroze every Q and Scoundrel I had weeks ago because I had the space. I can't answer the question. But someone here probably made a list of which crew fit which skills the best.

    Cannot really say which scoundrels and q will be best besides event crew until we see what the faction missions are.

    Took 4 shots at the event pack with my DIL I had on hand.

    2 Ro (boo)
    1 Qunior (yay!)
    SR behold, 3rd star for Miral

    1 Amanda (YAY!) takes her to 2/5

    Not a bad investment.

    This. I put together a calculator for Galaxy events to highlight the best crew for each skill but doing that for all the possible skill combos in a Faction event without knowing what combos will actually show up is tough. We can probably expect a number of SCI/MED and COM/DIP slots based on event crew but everything else is a toss-up (the lesson learned from the Vulcan/Romulan mega’s Faction event).
  • AviTrekAviTrek ✭✭✭✭✭
    And whether you need the 5th COM/DIP, third SCI/MED, or 2nd ENG/SCI will depend on all the missions, the strength of the rest of your crew, and which missions you chose to run. I can't imagine beginning to try and predict that ahead of time without the rest of the information.

    We have had multiple faction events where the skill slots for the faction missions do not fit the the event crew well. Guess we will see.

    This event has the bleakest, most uninspiring reward lineup I've ever seen...this could be the perfect event for trying an event victory! Too bad it's a faction event :/

    I love that Q Jr. has the "Brat" trait.

    Unfortunately that's about all there is to love. These are some bad event crew this week.

    Bad event crew? Crew with a base 500-600 in a faction event, thats what i call bad event crew. Q Junior has with the 3x event bonus 2628 CMD and 1749 DIP, thats not bad at all and he will do good on event shuttles. :)

    And even once the event is over he will do some good on shuttles for newer accounts, all other can freeze or dismiss him.

    She's going to be a purple. Unless she gets a Mirror Phlox/Nurse Garland-like proficiency somewhere, most advanced users are going to end up being disappointed and freezing her even if she's the single best purple in the game.

    Agreed. I finally froze Victorian Pulaski, one of the last 4* holdouts that remained useful on shuttles. The only 4*s currently out of the freezer for me are either partially fused, event bonus crew, vanity crew for the bridge, or arena/gauntlet specialists. And even then, I have two of my gauntleteers currently on ice until I can freeze all these scoundrels.

    But he's got good event shuttle stats for an event with a terrible legend as reward, which reduces the importance of that shuttle stat imo. Of course not every crew can be exciting, but Amanda is the only exciting legend in the mega besides the recurring for me. The colonel's artwork is fun, but he'd never get a citation and has almost zero event potential.
  • Looking at Jr's kit, it appears they planned for him to have Science, then pulled it. He has several items that require science components (science experiments, science lessons, bio kits etc.).

    Shoulda been dip/sci/eng

    I totally agree. Robed Q and Amanda were the only two legendaries I cared for this mega. But I will say I will end up keeping three super rares which is super rare for me. Riker Q Data Q and Female Q

    I have a citation burning a hole in my pocket. I can use it to advantage on Data Q or Q Junior. Data Q has a possibility for future events, but Q Junior will sit there for the next year worthlessly taking a spot until an update comes and I have a slim chance of freezing him.

    Seems like the choice is clear

    Data Q seems a better card to me for the 4* citation in your pocket, for both the remainder of this Mega & going forward in general usage. 🖖

    Yep. Data Q now and maybe Q Jr if there is no better option at the end of this campaign.

  • Junior definitely should have had a Science skill; he uses 42 Science Experiments, one of the hardest 0* items to farm. (Which, of course, completely cleaned me out)

    then be sure to focus your cadet tickets and ad warps on cadet mission 3 on epic level today :)

    My initial thought was that Amanda is "must-have", due to her skill set. Then I realized that Sci/Eng/Med is not as rare as it used to be, and that even though I have a major thing for Med secondaries, I just don't need her skills

    I second this - was able to get maybe a dozen with strategic ad doublers.

    I always run that mission, nothing but unless there's another shuttle-only gear that is available from Epics (I run out of 2* Security Codes once in a while).

    But life happens, other crew got geared up recently, and it took my first run of the day to finish off that 5* Roses.

    Those science experiments are his 4th highest-demand item, and all of that for 0 SCI skill...

    Boo, DB. Boo.
  • Prime LorcaPrime Lorca ✭✭✭✭✭
    I just realized that there will not be a faction winning bonus this time. Not that it would have been tempting to do Maquis shuttles for another 3 days, but the bonus was always welcome.

    DB, please stop doing these single faction events - this is very annoying!

    I was torn. I liked the extra mission variety, but disliked only having one faction and lower number of missions for the jump start. But now that I think about no wining faction bonus... I would really like to get back to multiple factions - preferably 3.

    I ended up with enough DIL to take two more shots...got Amanda on both of them to get her to 4/5 and my first star on Irumodic Syndrome Picard.

    I got Vengeful L’Rell from a merit pull earlier as well as my 4th star for Miral.

    Sorry for taking everyone’s luck, now I’ll go 150 packs without a legendary.
