Except Enterprise, all of these choices are uninspiring. I hope the devs aren't going to recycle them throughout the year... There are much better voyager episodes and there was no ds9 option.
That survey had terrible choices for the mega event. I thought maybe their first pass would be write-in. This is what I was going to suggest.
Assuming a Picard mega is already in the works, I would love to see:
1) Another Borg event, this one with the new Seven, the new Hugh, the crazy Romulan ex-Borg lady, and Borg versions of more ST characters.
2)An Android event, with Data painting the portrait of Soji, Soong from Picard, Soji, Daj, androids from Soji's home planet, and androids from Star Trek's past that we have not yet seen
3) A Romulan event focused on Picard, with Narissa, her brother, her "Auntie" the ex-Borg, and the sunglasses lady who infiltrated Starfleet
4)Focus on Short Treks
I also wrote that I hoped they went back to events based on an episode of trek. I loved those events where all the crew and the storyline was about that episode. I would rewatch the episode again right before the event and have so much fun.
Any “Ceti Alpha” mega kind of has to feature Khan, right? This sounds like a great opportunity to finally land that semi-canon Warlord Khan I’ve been hoping to get for a while.
I ranked Enterprise second because it is critically underrepresented and there are plenty of great crew yet to get out of it, with Voyager and Vacation pulling up the rear. The only Voyager character near the top of my wish list right now is Warship Interrogator Kim, and my imagination is failing me as to how “summer vacation” could have a story or crew that would be engaging over the course of a month.
It was a toss up between Ceti Alpha and Tribbles. Tribbles won simply because of the suggestion on here of a different two star tribble every week - that would be cool - and we need cheering up.

Well now. If I'd read that first, I'd have definitely put "Tribbles" as my top choice! That would be brilliant.
(And now I'm thinking of all those 1* crew who'd suddenly be ouranked even by tribbles...)
You could have a 1* tribble in the threshold rewards every 1000 points, that way eventually your crew quarters will get overrun with them like any other ship
How about a 1* Tribble that self replicates until your crew quarters are maxed?
*EDIT* at 25 honor a pop, it could be a gold mine.
Yeah, self replication is probably too much. But one 2* tribble that makes a 1* tribble every day seems reasonable. Trading a crew slot for 25 honor a day is nice, but not a game breaker.
Plenty of great options outside of the main cast and major recurring characters:
John Frederick Paxton
Admiral Valdore
Major Hayes
Xindi-Primate Councilor
Doctor Lucas
Ambassador Gral
I think an Enterprise mega could be quite successful if it gave a proper ending to the temporal Cold War storyline Enterprise abandoned. Or a cool Xindi storyline cause the Xindi are awesome!

The Temporal Cold War will be ended by Burnham as the Red Angel in Season 3 of Discovery I'm sure

Only in the hope of "on the beach sisko" being included

Second was Tribbles, a bit of TAS, TOS, DIS, and DS9 all mixed together.
A Tribble could be a 5* crew, Diplomacy, Security (detects klingons), and Medicine (therapeutic) .
*EDIT* at 25 honor a pop, it could be a gold mine.

And I actually put Summer Vacation below None of These. I don't like the idea of sitting out an entire Mega but I might if that's what get's picked.
1 Tribbles
2 Ceti Alpha
3 Enterprise
4 Voyager
5 None
6 Summer Vacation
