Dissapointed of T‘Pols poor base stats, especially since i expect a full faction nxt week.
She seems to be a slightly upgraded Sulan, albeit with SEC instead of COM. Very disappointing indeed if the next event is anything except a Skirmish (and her ship ability is nothing to write home about either). Having a new MED/SEC gauntleteer is interesting, but not worth trying to grind an Expedition for.
She's an incredibly easy pass for me. I already have Sulan for Gauntlet, and her bases are so weak that as event crew she barely edges out some of the stronger 4* T'Pols in a faction event at one star.
Why do we have to earn 250,000 more VP this week to get the 1500 Honor / Voyage Token / 10x Premium Time Portal threshold rewards? Makes even less sense when these regular threshold rewards occur after the copy of Detective Data appears at the 475,000 VP threshold!
Complaints and opinions are one thing. But some people get a bit too dramatic. Announcing an event type gives you PTSD and you aren't going to play, is less a complaint an more of a passive aggressive threat.
I’ve happy to not just entertain your position, but agree with it until you used the word “threat.” If you feel threatened by the complaints of others, maybe the Internet isn’t for you?
<snip> Let's not, thanks. ~Shan
I don't have to feel threatened to see some one threatening to have a toddler tantrum and not playif they don't change the game for him.
Trust me. Unlike you I can survive at any temperature. If you feel the need to whine go ahead. This is the internet. I will make a bag of popcorn and give you more to whine about. So by all means, attempt to troll me. But make it more interesting if you want to keep my attention.

This is a very special Event. The third Doctor La Forge in the Threshold was at 450,000 Points the first time. Other content has just been added past that.

They're definitely playing footloose and fancy-free with the use of the word Special in describing this event...

Yeah. This is definitely a strange one. Kind of started as a mostly Flashback, but with some Updates. Then they added in the Data. Which also pushed up the top end Threshold Rewards.

I don’t know this for sure so don’t quote me but it could be that points accumulate faster in an expedition
As crew stats go, T'Pol looks about as mediocre as her acting.
Sorry to shock you, but T´Pol cannot act at all even. Cause she is a fictive character. Aka does not exist
Jolene Blalock, who played her, on the other hand is surely not the best actress in the world. But most of the time she did it well. Also keeping in mind that many scripts for her were quite lousy...

You can accumulate anywhere from 50-60+k per ticket in an expedition, depending on how the missions/nodes/skill combos are set up. experienced players can run a ticket in 10 min or less. less experienced players could do them in under 20-25 min each.

Might be able to get there. My data plan either resets tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight. Ran out on me last Saturday and cost me a shot at the second 🌟 for Professor. I would like to get T'Pol, but at least clearing Threshold would be nice.

I noticed "Event Tickets" in the rewards. That brings up two things...
1) It will probably inflate the VP attainable without dilithium. Probably to the point that 600k VP will be easy.
2) @Shan , the description is plural (tickets) but there's no number on the icon to indicate how many tickets we get in the threshold rewards. Any chance we could get a clarification on that?
I hope a lot of players pass on this T'Pol.
I'm getting her because:
-Main cast
-Decent event count
-MED primary
-Only SR or Legendary variant with MED
-Probably first legendary of mega event
-Possible gaunlet use
-I like the episode (most important reason)

It will be 1 ticket, not sure why the description is in plural.

expeditions have always been stressful, but good for a change.
I have Dr La Forge Immortalised, and no new SR, so I might take the week off (just play a few tickets)
Probably first legendary of mega, the first event I concentrate on getting the reoccurring FE, unless I want to play for the event legendary.

Re: Complaining about complaining: I think there's something to be said for keeping some reasonable perspective and choosing one's battles. Otherwise, one dilutes the value of complaining.
As for the event at hand, I'm afraid I'll be one of your competitors for Twilight T'Pol, @Prime Lorca of Izar. I don't have any real interest in her, but I'm compulsive about collecting Expedition trophies. I figure by sticking it out all the way to the 600k threshold ought to be sufficient.

That's hard to predict, but what we have seen from previous threshold expansion is that there are a lot of players that threshold and out regardless of VP amount. The higher the threshold, the higher the VP for rank reward.
We'll see how many vp we earn per ticket, and how much dislike for expedition plays into it, but I would guess threshold puts you somewhere in the 4* reward range.

also ... can we use the 6 in-mail tickets from aeons ago? ... can't find the final word on that ... this thread is a tad long
Edit: not that I personally have time to do so, but there might be others who do.

An interesting point. I wonder what the rank difference will be between 600k VP and say, 610k VP.
T'Pol is one of my favourite characters, so I want her but not desperately, due to her stats.
Anyway I am super-excited about my very first Expedition. I am so glad that this is happening, no matter how useless the threshold is. Just YAY!

Oh, I'll be going beyond thresholds for insurance. I just anticipate a lot of attrition, even among the routine threshold and out crowd. I think there'll be a lot of players who get as far as Detective Data and decide 1500 Honor, a Voyage token, and a 10x pull aren't worth it.
So will the tickets have an expiration timer this time?

Somewhere earlier in the thread, Shan said this will follow the rules of "Auld Lang Syne", in which tickets were not timed.
I bet a million credits we have to search. I'll give 20 to 1 odds and doubt I'll have any takers.
