4* Detmer wasn’t getting a bonus at the start. Maybe 5* Detmer is showing bonus but not actually getting it? Dunno. Otherwise, I’m sure you know the default answer... bad RNG. 🙁
The RNG engine in this game needs serious work. 6 fails in 1 mission while only 1 fail on all 3 others combined is possible, but highly unlikely.
And I experience so many “highly unlikely” occurrences (as do all of you) that tells me the RNG distribution in game is not acting right.
I know there are RNG apologists in this forum, and I really don’t want to “offend” them by bringing up my experiences, but this is an anomaly that would cause major red flags in any serious audit. This is why I brought it here to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar.
This may be a little out of left field, but this was a little cruel irony today.
So... who was first to max?
She may not even have a FTM yet. I won't know until I get mine tomorrow.
If Niners Ezri is appearing on the dabo already, there is a 100% chance there is already a FTM.
Rare for anyone to get the legendary before it is out. Then it has to be gotten by someone with the dilithium, honor, and will to grab her and ff/fe her. I bet she has not been immortalized yet and will not be until Monday morning.

I had Riker Odan pop up on Dabo the Wednesday before his event started. I figured I could have FTM’d him but the honor and dilithium would have been much better spent. Never desired to do it and never will

I get that for an Odan Riker but an Ezri would definitely be worth it.

She's supposed to be in Center. Out of position again, Ezri...
The phrase out of left field came about because Babe Ruth played right field. If you bought tickets in the left field bleachers you were considered out of the ordinary

I love trivia like this. Sinister is also related to the Left. Sinister means left-handed. In the middle ages, left-handed people were thought to be agents of Evil or the Devil. Thus, sinister came to mean dark or bad, when speaking of a person or their machinations.......

Bylo was right, she was already immortalized. It would be good if when people are first to immortalize a crew member they got in Dabo that they then tell others in forum. Commander Sinclair or anyone else would have been out of thousands of dilithium if he had tried to immortalize her.

I'm in the probably not worth it boat. If she had dropped via a free dabo spin, I might have used the honor since the card is good enough anyway, but I would never drop the dil.
Either way it looks like someone FTM her on Thursday. So it further proves my thinking to not throw DIL at a card without even knowing if you have a shot at FTM or not.

Chances are that at least one of the people who gets the new Crew on Wednesday is gonna be willing to go for first.
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Sinister simply means left. Dexter is right. The terms are still used in heraldry. Ambidextrous is both right. Doesn't matter to me. I'm dyslexic and confuse left and right in English or Latin...or Spanish or German or Greek. Basically, I learn a language and get a new pair of directions to confuse. I do get starboard and port correct though.

Bylo was right, she was already immortalized. It would be good if when people are first to immortalize a crew member they got in Dabo that they then tell others in forum. Commander Sinclair or anyone else would have been out of thousands of dilithium if he had tried to immortalize her.
I figured as much, as well. If it's in Dabo for one person, it's probably gonna be in Dabo for at least a handful of others, and somebody is going to pull the trigger. As far as notifying us in the forum when someone does that: it'd be nice, but probably not gonna happen, as I think there are tons of players who don't use the forums, and even of those who do, it's likely more of an every-so-often kind of thing for many of them, rather than something they think about visiting regularly.
Regarding whether it's worth it? Well, for me it'd come down to two things: the appeal of the character (which would have to be very high), and if I had a stash of dil and Honor sitting around. If both of those boxes were ticked, I'd be tempted to take a shot, even knowing that someone else would've seen her in their Dabo, as well. I guess a third box would be that I'd be more likely to do so if it was shortly after the Dabo had reset that day. Even if I missed out on getting there first, I'd still have a new character that I was very fond of. I ran the Dabo table two times so far, and in both cases it ticked off my first two boxes — and I had no regrets about doing so. Therefore, going for a FTM achievement on top of that would be icing on the cake, and add another bit of fun to the proceedings.
All that having been said, no offense to the regulars, but it's always very nice to see someone new get FTM on a crew. Wish that would happen more often.

Putting someone in the dabo table before they're accessible in any capacity to the player base at large is ridiculous. I'll go one further and say even displaying FTM data has become ridiculous. Yeah, one of a dozen of our fellow players with a ton of resources and open time from 12:00 to 12:05 on the weekdays beat the rest of that dozen to the punch. Yay. Why not instead display when we max our own crews? That would at least acknowledge something we did ourselves.

I actually love that idea! But I also understand why those who got FTM would hate it.

Like most things related to... enticing players to spend dilithium/money in-game, ego plays a large part in it.
I think I got my issue with Mirror Keyla. It's the eye-roll. Makes her look like a petulent three year old, rolling her eyes because Daddy won't reach up and hand her the 🌕..........
