    Rejac interests me on the show, but there's no chance whatsoever of me ever getting a 5* from a Galaxy event. I hope Klingon O'Brien is the threshold reward.

    Ditto. The Riker is kinda cool, though it's clear there some barrel scraping in the Riker pool. Just want O'Brien.

    I dunno. I feel like Anbo-Jyutsu Riker is more interesting than Angel I Riker, both visually and in terms of the character in those episodes. And at least it isn't "These Are the Voyages..." Riker, who would rub in our faces the most irksome series finale in the canon to date.

    Agreed, but the canon pool in general is getting pretty thin of what else to do with the character, regardless of comparison to other minor Riker moments. And we'll see that other Riker before too long. Maybe Dabo Riker (for the offscreen Dabo wins that he called a favor in with Quark in exchange for his winnings) will come down the Pike. Though we don't have a First Contact Riker (maybe with the headset from the Phoenix?).....

    Since it is called passing the torch anyone think it could be Riker's father from their sparing match?

    If it was, it would be called Kyle Riker, not Riker.

    I'll wait to see the stats for them, but I'm cautiously optimistic. With three new crew, at least you earn new crew as you go progress. With a repeated threshold or rank that just means the chronitons spent to rank are all going towards fewer rank rewards, now they are effectively buying you multiple characters.

    Just offhand, some other possibilities:

    Malcorian Hospital Patient Riker (from "First Contact", which had an action figure in the 1990's Playmates line)
    Captured Mental Patient Riker (from "Frame of Mind", my favorite Riker episode)
    Barkonian Riker (from "Thine Own Self"; we also don't yet have a Data or Crusher from this one)
    Smooth as an Android's Bottom Riker (from Star Trek: Insurrection)

    Plus, there are still some subsets that we don't have any or many TNG crew from so far, including:

    "Time's Arrow, Part II" (so far, we don't have anyone from this episode)

    Star Trek Generations (in the early DS9-style uniforms, where Avery Brooks's Sisko costume fit Jonathan Frakes about as well as Frankenstein's Monster's suit)

    TNG Dress Uniforms (so far, we don't have anyone wearing the TV versions and only Wesley in the movie versions)

    Phoenix Riker would be a reasonable addition.

    There's also Trill Riker, "Crazy" Riker, Q Riker, Malcorian Riker, Little John Riker, Making Scrambled Eggs Riker...

    Honestly, if they wanted to add a dozen new Rikers, they could.

    Yeah and there's Bathtub Riker (Insurrection) --- some of these seem a little desperate, or as some have called it, Thirsty....

    "Promoted Sisko" is in the TV dress uniform.

    And I'd love to see Time's Arrow versions of everybody.

    EDIT: Bashir would be a good addition for the white dress uniforms, since that could be a Section 31 Bashir, with Med and Sec. Just a thought.

    Oh joy. Another Riker. I'm so excited about this event. See. This is my excited face.


    This is why we need a sarcasm font.
    Drunken Dahar Masters is recruiting active players.
    PM for details.

    So long and thanks for all the fish.
  • Sweet another galaxy event so I can level more crew with the 10$ chronos sale I hope it's 1500 at a time but 1250 just as good.
  • TNG Dress Uniforms (so far, we don't have anyone wearing the TV versions and only Wesley in the movie versions)

    "Promoted Sisko" is in the TV dress uniform.

    Right, but I was talking specifically about the TNG crew. I would certainly welcome dress uniform DS9 characters, too, though! We also saw the VOY characters in the TNG style dress uniforms a few times.

    A high DIP Picard in the dress uniform seems like a no-brainer. Also Worf looks quite spiffy in his dress uniform (despite his protests), so I'd like to see that.

    Speaking of dress uniforms, I really liked Kira's. It'd be nice if that made an appearance at some point.

    Hmm I feel like Riker still has a bit more to offer.
    Anbo-Jutsu Riker is fine with me. But I'd rather see Conjoined Riker from "The Host", or Constable Riker from "Time's Arrow".

    O'Brien will be exciting to me if he brings a good ENG stat.

    And Rejac is worthless to me. If I have to look up who the character is, that's a bad sign, means they are nigh unmemorable. Kortar was the same way, but like hell I was going to turn away a free 5*. Rejac on the other hand, hard pass.

  • Bottom of the barrel ? Maybe but there is still another whole new barrel of Rikers to be made and gotten..

    Such as..
    Bajoran Riker
    Future imperfect Riker..
    Best of both worlds Riker.
    Captain Riker of the Titan
    Inappropriate Time for Nintendo Riker
    Pull my finger Riker
    First Contact Riker
    Defiant Riker
    Apparently This Isn't Synthahol Riker
    Formal Wear / wedding suit Riker

    We've got a whole Lotta Rikering to go :smile: D

  • Ugh. I love Discovery...But a 5* who literally got 5 seconds of screen time? No thx

    I can't hear that name without thinking of...

    latest?cb=20061221223007&path-prefix=en

    ...though his name was spelled "Redjac".

    Redjac and Rejac are two different characters. Redjac is a cool character from TOS. Rejac is the silly looking Klingon from Discovery who was only on screen for 5 seconds before getting killed by Burnham in Space. A very dishonorable Klingon... a Klingon that is not worth a 5*....
  • Rejac's contribution to Discovery: (spoilers)
    - Dies
    - Gets a funeral

    Yeah, impressive.

    Beowulf Kim says hi.

    So does Morgan Bateson. Actually, Bateson says hello, to make it more proportional to his screen time.

    Pretty sure that if DB didn't give Bateson a 5*, Kelsey Grammer would've flown into an alcoholic rage and torched DB's office

    Or maybe its just because its Kelsey Grammer. Multi-Emmy winning actor and all.

  • How about "Exchange Officer Riker"... From the TNG episode, "A Matter of Honor" when he becomes the first officer, then acting Captain of a Klingon ship?
    iatzez89743b.jpg
  • He would have some interesting cross-traits, right? And what would be more fun than leveling a Riker with gagh and bloodwine? Yikes! I've talked myself out of my own idea...
  • Future imperfect Riker..

    We have him. He's called "Jazz Musician Riker" in the game (although he is often referred to as Trombone Riker).
    Captain Riker of the Titan

    Pretty much identical to First Officer Riker?

    Other possible Rikers include:

    Disheveled Riker (with longer beard): from Parallels
    Protomorphosis Riker from Genesis
    Enterprise Riker from These are The Voyages
    QPid Riker
    Generations Riker
    Civilian Riker (e.g. Gambit, The Game etc.)
    Insane Riker from Frame of Mind
    etc.
  • Man, reading this thread of Awesome Riker Possibilities makes me sad we've only got ice pirates, bend & snatch, and 24th century ice skater in game.

    Yes please. "The Rikers are EVERYWHERE!"
  • We only have 10 Rikers, 6 O'Brien's and 53 Klingons in this game. I wouldn't say no to a new O'Brien I must admit.
