    This is my first Reno star, is she worth levelling up at 1/5?

    It probably depends on your options. On my roster, she's not worth it until an event comes her way.

    Before now, the previous time between initial Tuesday pack release and wider availability was Queen Po. Her campaign was somewhere in the 4 month neighborhood. 9 weeks appears to be a new record.

    While not as available as a global gift, Mycelial Culber was in a less crowded event pack 7 weeks after his release.

    That's definitely interesting. As I recall there were two legendaries and the price point was still 650. The odds were significantly better, but still a costly proposition, at least compared to free.

    Thank you for that clarification. I think it does add to the perspective.

    Medic Reno is a "Tier 2" crew according to the Big Book -- not Tier 1, but pretty darn close. (There are 10 total tiers in the Big Book.) Her statistical strength is in voyages. So, for the vast majority of captains, she's worth citing.

    That said, it's reasonable to think that Doctor Van Gogh will have a similar or even the same skill set. I'd wait until tomorrow when his stats are released to see if you want to put your citations on Reno or on Van Gogh.

(In my case, even though I have the Caretaker, Leonardo da Vinci, and Cheesecake Seven all immortalized, she would still be a strong addition to my roster.)

    Agreed. And I may wait to see if I can add stars to the doc in recap packs too.

    The pressure is on for Van Gogh to be awesome now that everyone got Med-Eng-Sci Reno. If Van Gogh is not similar my cites will go to Reno and I will have two of her.

    I am not sure how much pressure to expect since Suspiria somehow ended up CMD/SEC/DIP...

    Well she did command a group of Ocampans and she was very powerful so security fits. Diplomacy does not work though, that should have been engineering or science.

    Thanks for the gift. Definitely agree that we shouldn't clog the pipeline with tickets.

    I think her Skills seriously were based on the reason I predicted them. She has the three Banjo Bob does not have. I think it is highly likely that that was the extent of the thought and consideration applied to choosing her Skills.

    I say we let CS sort it out and leave it at that.

    Are people going to leave a "good" or "bad" rating if they're told they won't swap in a cite in exchange for Reno? CS reps in STT are highly dependent on these survey ratings. You're encouraging people to roll the dice on what's, most likely, a lose-lose scenario for those CS agents.

    It's not in human nature to leave a good rating in surveys when they don't get what they want

    Thank you. As someone soft on Med and Eng, I welcome her!

    And that is why I love packs like this: Because someone "younger" than me in the game gets a huge boost from one of these & celebrates for us to see. Sorry (not) if that makes me a "boomer" in STT terms, but I do like to celebrate the little victories we all experience.

    Until I don't. >:)

    I must be super human then, because I've done exactly that - twice when I didn't get what I wanted. I don't know about all cases, but I think those who have been civil here (i.e. Bylo), can be trusted to be civil with CS. I've been "derided" as "Admiral Positivity" so maybe I'm overly confident in the community.

    maybe so, but I think you are in the minority.

    This isn't a CS issue. They're not fixing something that's broken.

    We, as players, chart our own course of action, sometimes with advice from "veteran" players, or even "whales". We look at new characters, look at their statistics, or some even if it's a character they really like, and we make decisions whether to chase, to level, to cite, etc with no idea what's coming in future weeks or months. Players don't know what WRG is going to throw out there, so it's on them to try to make the best decisions for their roster.

    In this scenario, those of us who chased and immediately cited her to 5/5 are on the wrong end of a business decision.

    The only scenario where i would condone a CS ticket here would be if you cited her in the last 14 days.

    I've been on the wrong end of a business transaction several times. When there is no outlet to address grievances, I cease business transactions with that company. So I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. If Shan or a dev came on to say "do not submit a CS ticket," then that would be that. In the absence of such a statement, I think the respectful thing to do is let the individual decide whether or not to submit a ticket. And of course, encourage them to be civil.

    Medic Reno is definitely worth having two of, which is possibly why TP chose her.

    OR speculation that Doc Van Gogh might have the same skills could be right, and TP realized this might be the best day to get a lot of players to fork out $25 on DYC offers.

    This Reno thing sounds like a minor version of "Mirror Picard".

    For me, I am glad I finally have a Reno, but I will not be levelling her until I need her. I will not be wasting cites on her when I have other crew that fill in her skills, and I have crew whose skill set is more important that I need to immortalise.

    It's a skirmish coming. I'll level her until I get to something that I want to get from campaigns. :)
