    Says he was an electronics engineer, so hopefully that means a strong ENG.

    Flashbacks sux, they would **tsk tsk** less if they weren't happening instead of reruns but taking a new event slot though.

    I like flashbacks. For the most part it means I can Threshold and done. the week before, as for the most part I have the featured crew FFFE.

    And it's Sisko, so probably some CMD too. If they sneak MED in there somehow, I might just participate after all. But I really don't remember the episode. Did he CPR someone back to life by any chance?
    Farewell 🖖

    Master of cellular metamorphosis, chemical explosives manufacturer = CMD/DIP/SEC

    Watch someone else do engineering and make rice picker joke = ENG primary

    Hmm...this is easy.

    Crew mutinies and throws you in jail...three times = Top overall voyage Commander

    Run away unarmed and get shot in the back = 1,000+ SEC

    Scientist masquerading as a Doctor = ENG primary

    Duel with 18th century antique dueling pistols = not a duelist

    "I'd rather spend a year in solitary confinement than listen to any of this." = DIP primary, Diplomat trait and collection

    The ultimate evolution in the martial arts = not an athlete

    So you're saying I might get my ENG/CMD/MED?
    Farewell 🖖

    Why not make Thrax event crew since his events since the mega event are probably zero.

    Maybe they have the fabled Cardassian vs Maquis mega event planned for 2020 and Thrax will get some use. :)

    Don't mind them, they're a week off from an event, and if they've got a galaxy aspect, free honour for building one item.

    I hope so! Then we could finally get Maquis Tom Riker and the 5* Stolen Defiant, finally a 5* Maquis ship.

    That 5⭐ Maquis ship would be the main thing for me, and probably a lot of players. Here's to hoping! 🤞

    I feel like the Dreadnought would make a more interesting Maquis 5* ship.

    I guess you mean the one from the Voyager episode, which should have both the Maquis and Cardassian trait. It would be fun to have it in the game! :)

    You mean the Maquis repurposed Cardassian MISSILE (and not a ship)?!

    Yes, Dreadnought. There aren't any other unique Maquis ships that could be used for a 5* ship (while the Maquis-commandeered Defiant might work, it's not really different than the ISS Defiant, is it?). And B'Elanna seemed to be conveyed quite well inside the vessel. I'll sidestep the full Bounty-esque argument on traits, but I will say it was definitely Maquis when it went down.

    And thus begins another thread hijacking! :D

    The missles the maquis made that were sentient and nearly impossible to destroy. That was a weird episode. How did the maquis ever lose when their technology was so much more advanced than even starfleet?

    Well it was Cardassian by design, and then commandeered by The Maquis and we saw how Cardassians had pretty impressive tech.... so they implemented that tech onto this super advanced missile...save for using a kinetic detonator.
    Edit: I'd also like to add my 1 and a half cents that it isn't a ship to me as yes it has shields, it has on board weapons but it doesn't have a crew, no sickbay, or bridge (it had a mash of a bridge and engineering). A ship needs a command center, engineering section, Crew quarters and sick bay to be classified as a 'ship' otherwise its like a drone or uav in space. Which brings me to how can the Federation Fighter be a 5 star ship? Seriously that thing was NEVER meant for long range assignments and they made it a 5 star so good for voyages, should've been a 2 star, maybe 3 star at the most. (Warning rant detected) Plus as a 5 star ship from the 23rd century (Before Kirk) it can beat a Romulan Warbird in stats, something the Enterprise D, (the most advanced ship in Starfleet in the 24th century) could've had a very difficult time doing... A little shuttle with more weapons? Really? How could it really hold its own against a Borg cube? Ok this turned into a rant.... Better stop now before this gets more derailed

    Hate to be that guy, but.......

    The HMS Bounty doesn't have both Federation and Klingon Trait Tags..........

    All good points and why the Fed Fighter should have been the Delta Flyer; but that's a rant for another time...

    Your points about the Dreadnought being less ship, and more a metal tube, are sound. But I'd point out that Captain Proton's Rocket Ship isn't a ship either, as it's more of a room on Voyager. So we need to have some leeway here.

    Seriously though, this does show that the ships need a revamp and certain 3* and 4* ships need to brought up to the 5* level (such as the Hirogen warship; the only other Hirogen ship not used is a freighter, so how's that going to be used in a battle?!). Again, a rant for another time.

    I do agree that (now upon thinking) that Captain protons ship really shouldn't be a 5 star ship. Is it more of a ship than dreadnaught as it has a function other than reach target and destroy? It has a command center but no crew quarters or sick Bay or engineering. But also it can't exist outside the holodeck. Either way in my books dreadnaught and protons rocket ship bith shouldn't be ships and the fed fighter. The fed fighter a 2 star at best and the delta flyer is much more of a ship than the fighter and also more advanced and should be a 4 or 3 star... But this is db so who knows
