To be honest, I've felt since events became weekly that they ought to be scheduled so the rank rewards were useful in the following event. My selfish concern is that I would be greatly dissatisfied if the rank 4* was to become the new 4*. I don't see any appreciable difference between having it be the existing 4* in the rank table if they're featured this week or next, so that schema ought to still work. Also, here's a history lesson for newer players who don't know or older players who may have forgotten:
I also suggested this some time ago for the ranked 3* and 4*. They would make more sense for newer players to achieve for the next event instead of the past one. I would not change the threshold crew though, this should remain relevant for the current event.
I think the 3* is a great idea. Still on the fence about that 4* though.
The point of the Ranked 4* reward is that it's (almost) always the pre-existing character; you're expected to already have it.
If you don't have it FF, then it's your chance to finish it off. If you didn't have it to begin with, then you'll have it for "next time."
If you remember Travis's post about the evolution of event rewards, you can't really imply anything about "the point" of a reward beyond it being the current evolution after multiple unrelated changes were made for their own reasons.
Shifting the rest of rank rewards to be the crew from there following event may make sense, but it should be considered in terms of what it would do to event balance and competitiveness.

Just to be clear, what I meant was that I would prefer that this week's new 4* be in this week's thresholds, and next week's existing 4* be in this week's rank rewards. That, I like.
The other option would be to swap them, putting this week's existing 4* in the thresholds and next week's new 4* in this week's rank rewards. That, I would dislike. Strongly.
Hopefully Mudd is threshold instead of ranked this time. I need 2 more copies to bag and tag em'.
Being a Flashback, the reward table should be identical, with the exception of Riker Odan replacing Saboteur Garak as the 5* rank reward.
Threshold 2* Major Kira
Threshold 4* Grathon Tolar

Rank 4* Time Loop Mudd

IMO it makes no sense to get a reward item that is usefull/bonus in the current event , which is awarded at the end of the event.
Same as the 5* Legendary reward has been changed to be usefull for the upcoming event , this should be the case for all rewards at the end.
It's just a 4* character, in the grand scheme of things it's not essential to your success.
Not for me, and players with an established roster.
It would be for "younger players" ... It also gives those players a good focus to work on during the week ...
IMO any of the ranked end-of-event-rewards that provide bonus should be for the next event, not for the current/just-ended event....
From a participation and progression perspective ... it makes more sense if the threshold cards are bonus for the current event which you earn during the event, and the ranked rewards for the next event.
That way players have incentive to play from event to event, because they know rewards they get by participating will help them get better rank during the event which in turn will reward them with cards that can help them in the next.... which would improve player participation all round..

We meant the same. Obviously I was not as clear as I thought on that.

Riker's bases (#5 Sci base, #4 Sci/Dip) and decent voyage total would be pretty desirable, if it weren't for the fact that he shares the same skill order with recent mega Picard & #1, who's better in every regard.
On the plus side, he does have a lot of traits, which I guess he always had going for him while he was being overshadowed by his captain.

Including "Romantic". Would someone else like to take the Targ by the Tusks, or shall I start a thread?

What happened to putting the featured 5* crew in rerun events as a threshold reward at 400k vp?

Mine is 💯/FF, but I need his Helmet......
Tolar is 💯/FF, and needs the last two Items {96 & 99}
Is he like the #4 base SCI now?
On the plus side, he does have a lot of traits, which I guess he always had going for him while he was being overshadowed by his captain.

I smell a Skirmish next week...
I smell a Hybrid or Faction, again. 😉
I smell... oh, wait, that’s me.
Maybe this will help O.o
I had two.
