Should be, since it is a re-run.
Just 2 for Tom Paris, but he has some Romantic variants, so some will be in their third in a row.
Edit: Unless you are counting Linnis. It wouldn't be the same Paris, but it would make three weeks in a row for a Paris to be event crew.
and if there's a voyager mega next, wouldn't it be 6 in a row for him to be bonus? CM Paris was such an MVP back in his day, this month will feel just like old times!
We'll always have Paris.
4 weeks if your name is Captain Proton Paris (Pilot trait - then Romantic).
EDIT: This does kinda mean I really wouldn't mind the new Kira ... not too many SCI options for the first half. DIP a plenty.
Now that you mention it, my DF Paris has also been busy. If Voyager crew are bonus, as I suspect, then DF Paris will be 4 citations very, very well spent.
4 citations on a crew that is in regular portal and with below average stats?
Not sure u can spend citations much worse. 🤗
He's still got the uber-unique skill set that buoys his statistical malaise. DF Paris may not have the raw voyage power, but he does tag along on many voyages due to his skill set.
Same here
Precisely. He's on CMD/ENG, CMD/MED, and ENG/MED voyages with that 25 bonus anti-matter. Those pop up with some frequency. Not to mention the recent weekend work. No regrets. I've gotten less use from "better" legendaries. If DF Paris pops up in a behold, I just pick one of the other choices. If anyone is on the fence about citing him, see how these factors stack up to your other options. It may be a good choice for you as well.
This. Raw voyage power is far less important than value over replacement crew and finding just the right person to fill a skill gap.
That’s why Doug Meintkowitz and Orlando Cabrrera for Nomar Garciaparra was a good deal for the Red Sox
this raises two questions:
- I have Lily only at 1/5 from the First Contact Day begold, but should cross 50K honor before next week, do any of you guys use her much at 3/5?
- ...isn't it about time we got the hero John Kelly in game?
Never ever used em on a single voyage. Well, maybe i was just lucky? 🤗
Delta Flyer Paris is a good jack of all trades but master of none. He is good for mid level players with many holes to fill that need the versatility DF Paris can provide but as he is an older card with only okay stats I would not advise spending four citations on him. I would only spend four citations on a crew member whose stats are great and can be of lots of use. I would advise waiting till the mega and putting citations towards an event legendary in the mega. There is a good chance we could see a new Mobile Doc Variant who is Med-Eng-Sci as in the episode he creates a biotemporal chamber to cure Kes. Also, you cannot guess bonus crew before a mega event announcement with any accuracy. Krenim Paris was not bonus in the Year of Hell Mega that was based on the episode he was from but Rura Penthe Commandant from Star Trek VI was.
I cited before the Pilot mega event, so I pretty much did as you said and it has paid dividends. ENG/SCI/MED is saturated now. Caretaker, White Rabbit, Imprinted Archer, Amanda Rogers, Mirror Stamets, Leonardo Da Vinci, Loken... am I missing anyone? I needed someone to put in a CMD seat and I generally only cite main cast. I know Mountain Climber Mayweather is main cast, but I didn't get him. Maybe I'm just unlucky. Except I didn't fail a single shuttle that DF Paris flew last weekend, so maybe I'm not.
I like DF Paris. I have him 5/5 having used two citations on him and he makes it on a fair number of voyages for me especially voyages that are eng-med or com-eng. He is a good crew person for most players. But I would not recommend using four citations on him. One citation to get him to 5/5, absolutely. Two citations to get him to 5/5, probably. But with four citations a player can make any crew person 5/5. DF Paris is an older card with good skill set and traits but his voyage score is just 3155. Determined Paris in the current event has a voyage score of 3515, 360 points higher. I would recommend waiting for more information on the mega or using the four citations to max two good 3/5 someone might have so they could have two 5/5 instead of one.
Definitely wait. I am never opposed to waiting, especially with a mega event on the horizon with unannounced bonus crew and a campaign that is near the half way point. Maybe DF Paris has some more good days ahead and maybe they are behind him, but I think that he will remain useful.

TP: Do better!!!
Yep he will always be useful as Paris comes up in a ton of events and he has great skill combo and traits. Citing him up is not a bad choice I just think that four citations is too many to spend on almost anyone. I did spend four citations on a crew member only once with Medic Reno that was great and I had gotten her from a Tuesday pack so no way to get more of her. DF Paris can be gotten from the portal, from packs, and if his event is rerun.
I've dumped 4 citations several times. EMA, Killy, FO Burnham, Ba'ul, Cheesecake Seven, Stranded Quark, DF Paris, and Dr. Pollard. Several of those were splurging after the last honor sale. I have to say, Killy probably got the most use with all the skirmishing. Can't say that I enjoy dropping 4 citations, but I will take one useful crew over two mediocre any day. Hmm... Killy and FO Burnham are the only ones who don't have MED. And only three are missing ENG.
I would expect and hope her to have some of the skills from her parents, MED from Kes and COM from Paris, with DIP or SCI as logical third skills.
