  • Like everyone else here, I want to ask your thoughts regarding the card art switch...of Blood Oath Jadzia Dax! Wil you hold Ben's feet to the fire about this? Where's my compensation?! Surely you have some opinions about there being no blood even in the artwork, much less any discernable oath being taken.

    Actually thats not a horrible point. They have “updated” the art on tomalak and blood oath jadzia, without consent. Might be worth asking if they should be more cautious about potentially changing the art of someones favorite card to something they dont like anymore.

    Once again, i bring up dark empath troi. As i now finally own a copy, i absolutely will be extremely upset if they decide to “update” the art without a minimum of a player choice vote. (But i would prefer them to leave the art alone)

    I did prefer the original art because it was unique.

    These maybe aren’t the best analogies to make, however. Blood Oath Jadzia’s art was pretty universally reviled and Tomalak’s art, while not strictly “bad” per se, was not well-liked and was vastly improved upon by the replacement. Likewise, their art wasn’t changed before they were even made available, it came years later.

    That being said, I will join you in picking up some torches ‘n’ pitchforks if Dark Empath Troi ever had an art change...she is currently at the top of my wish list, mostly for the art and only a little bit for her skills.

    The Racquetball Bashir artwork is pretty awful. Will people lost their minds if that artwork is changed?

    So ... that's it ... ready for the next Honor Pact when/if Honor sales roll around (Ben?) ... some background on the history of the card as a part of my crew:

    - The third 5* I FEd (Degra #1 (now immortal - and frozen), CD Quark #2 (1/5))

    - My #9 ENG base right behind her counterpart RAF O'Brien at #8. (1095 --> 1270)
    - My #10 SEC base amongst active crew, two frozen Klingons would come above her in the rankings. (1021 --> 1184)
    I don't expect these to last much, they were solid back in the day, now average at best.

    - Yar is amongst a handful of CMD/SEC/ENG crew immortalised, but the first SEC/ENG/CMD ... her SEC voyage score is her main skill over ENG, but bases are flipped.
    I do expect her to make future voyages once in a while, especially during event weekends, as her score is not bad and well balanced, and she has good traits.

    - She is my 10th Timelines' Originals crew immortalised, one off the next tier.

    - Kinda funny she has event bonus next weekend (for a Faction event none-the-less), but don't expect her to be of much use in events going forward ... although the Cultural Figure trait addition greatly reduces her effectiveness. :(

    Anyway, it was fun, one of the few things keeping me going, so I hope the next one comes around soon.

    Right on, I hope you get warm fuzzies when you get to use her :) Fun fact; only one character in the game has 6+ events and a 100% Faction rate - Tasha is 7 for 7!

    Other 100% Faction (or Faction hybrid) names:
    Martok, Mayweather, Saru (5)
    Lore (4)
    Lwaxana, Ro Laren, Winn Adami (3)

    Up to date through this weekend's event?

    What he said was they have a limited option of crew based on their crew release schedule. They can shift crew around a bit, but they can't pick any crew they want. So Mayweather was likely the best option between crew ~990 and 1020.

    That just means piss poor planning. Its not like they woke up yesterday and said OMG, its almost time to release crew 1,000. They had, well, 999 other times to get to ready for this. DEAR TP: Please start planning for number 1500 now, oh wait, no need, game wont last that long.

  • CalhounCalhoun ✭✭✭✭✭
    Eh, it's not that big a deal. I just find it mildly amusing - Mayweather getting the brief limelight which he never received in the show.

    Of more interest was the indication that the goal is to have new/updated collections every month.

    Personally I say who cares. 1000th crew is no different to me then the 999th crew to me. I don't see why people care about these "milestones" so much.

    We got a free copy of number 500, so i’m guessing and hoping we might get the same with 1000🖖
