I don't think it's a bad offer, in fact I took it to add a third star on The Full Phloxy.
But using "celebration" was probably not the best phrase to use, I mean celebrations usually involve spending, but, depending on what is being celebrated, usually on presents, drinks, etc.
When hen nights hire a stripper, I'm not sure they're thinking along the lines of a virtual Denobulan!
Defensive Phlox is MED/SCI/SEC. I struggle on all three of those voyage combos. SEC/SCI is what I really want, but I'm so weak that secondary/tertiary is good enough to get my attention.
I take it you don't have Gary Seven? If you're looking for another option in the MED+SCI+SEC combo, Twilight T'Pol has very similar combined stats to Def Phlox.
Indeed, no Gary Seven. Like Defensive Phlox, my Twilight T'Pol is 1/5. I'm not ready to drop 4 citations on either. But getting Defensive Phlox to 2/5 is closer to citation territory.
I think this is why I was so glad to snare Gladiator Spock and then cite him up, bar Gary Seven he hasn't really been trumped yet.
Generally I try and field M. Picard, FO Burnham, Surak (or Picard) Neelix (or High Roller Sisko), Gladiator Spock, Wrathful Kirk, Survivalist Kirk, Protomorphosis Barclay (4/5) EV Suit Seven (4/5) Armus (4/5), Q'Od (or Indulgent Seven), EMA.
I have 3/5 M De Neuf, Detective Data, Species 8472
and 1/5 Maquis Tuvok.
Out of them only Species 8472 provides the best option but is only two Skills.
I also have Armus at 4/5. It's getting tempting to just drop that citation. I got two Guinans in a row (both from streaks of only 3 due to a loss in between) in the last week, so I probably won't see another legendary drop in gauntlet for another month. If I can get another Survivalist Kirk to drop, I'll probably spend the citations to finish him. EV Seven is just so weak that I don't know if I'll ever spend that citation, though I would probably swoop her up in a behold.
Personally, I think this is a pretty good deal. It's better than buying 9 or 10 recaps and hoping for a legendary. It's much better than event packs for 650 and hoping for a legendary or standard 10x premium pulls and hoping for a behold, and worlds better than 15k dilithium for a very old legendary in the faction store.
All in all, I think this is a great deal. Now... If only I can get a 15/3k/3k for $25 so I can do this on both of my accounts...
💯% disagree. For the first time, we are being charged for a "celebration" "gift". And people feel like that is a good thing? TP totally jumped the shark here. It is a bad precedent, and needs to be anything but clapped for.......
I 100% disagree with your disagreement.
I do not think we can expect a free legendary card every time someone on the main StarTrek cast has a birthday. There are some established festive days that give out freebies. I would see something like this as a special offer every week or so. Even if free were the precedent, this is dilithium which most of us at least have from time to time and not a cash offer. I think it was easily worth the dilithium compared to other packs, but maybe in light of a 'birthday' it may have been easier on some eyes at 1k dilithium
This pack also had a really good selection of cards, Rev Phlox is a voyager that would at least be on players cite list even if not at the top. Defensive phlox is a must-have for the gauntlet. Even Au Natural is a step above the best choice I had on my last behold and is a collectable card for fans. I would rather pay for this option than have a single free legendary that I will never use outside of an event crew and not likely cite until I am an old man.
The only reason to gripe is the Def Phlox is going to be a lot less of a sure thing in the gauntlet now, but that would be selfish of me to think like that.
Well done TP I really appreciated this offer being Dilithium for us semi ftp (rather than straight $10). I think TP have been listening to the issue we have about getting away from crew rosters dominated by 1/5 legendaries. I would like if this could be a regular offering to look forward to at least once a month. A welcome addition to the free offerings of anniversary events and holidays. Special thanks to the person who came up with the idea. Now if you could only come up for something similar for those gauntlet legendary rewards...
Late to this, but I think it's a great offer. I didn't buy it because I don't need it for any of these crew, but there are plenty that I'd happily do this for in the future.

I guess I will apologize a fourth time for my mistake, then.

Patience, young Padawan. (Oh wait, wrong franchise).
Anyway, a fifth Armus will drop eventually. Use your citation somewhere more valuable. Armus is not a strong shuttler and is only a middling voyager.
I was getting jumpy on what to do with my (very small) stockpile of citations recently, and then I pulled Gary Seven in a begold. Four citations spent instantly. And my 5/5 Armus has never boarded another shuttle or voyage since.

I have all of my factions tanked. Shuttles don't enter the equation for me. I also don't have Gary Seven. He's never shown up in a behold or anything. That's probably a factor in why SEC/SCI is so weak for me.
Yes, around 2 bucks with the monthly card is massive and as a result a trip to the poorhouse is the next stop
Good new offer structure TP. In this case I had 2 of the cards immortalized already and did not want or need Naked Phlox. But I am looking forward to more of these offers...

Well, slightly more per Dilithium if you actually buy it in a cluster. But, saving fifteen days worth of the monthly is not bad. The offer is a great way to do this. Three good choices, and you can pick the specific one, like the free First Contact Day BeGold we had.
They should continue this method of doing the birthday celebration for actors. At least ones that have three Legendary choices.
Or, could they do a "mixed" Behold? If there are not three Legendary choices?
