A New Level ...

I am pleased! I now have 10% of my crew immortalized! (16) For me that is a noteworthy accomplishment! 
At this point I've decided to change my strategy a bit ... make it more refined so to speak. For the time being:
1) No more extended journeys looking for 4 and 5* crew. My roster is full right now and I have no place to put them anyways
. Work for a while with what I have ... those 'hot-shot' crew will always be there later.
2) Restrict all new cards to "tier" 5 and above. I'm not completely sold on those tier ratings, all too subjective for me and tend to be geared toward 'end-player' usage, but they might be a good general indicator to work with as long as one considers their limitations.
3) Level up and immort' my 'good' 2 and 3* crew ... they've been good to me! Give them a crown of gold laurel leaves and send them to Mt. Olympus! Then 'freeze' their dang bums when needed to make room for new crew. LOL!
4) Try to pare the obvious knuckle-dragging losers out of my roster and send them with scorn and chastisement to Gre'thor! It is painful for me when I've dumped a lot of resources into them, but one must move on! (take a look at my spreadsheet to give recommendations if you want ... see links below)
5) If new crew options are not available via the Portal also: then give them a miss and wait till they are! Hard and fast rule! Don't need a roster full of 1/4* and 1/5* crew I can't do anything with except to buy their eventual way into Sto-vo-kor.
6) Resist the temptation to Buy! "Get behind me Fek'lhr!"
So, there It is ...
