I dont citate the event character either as I cant see them getting much use outside the event. An aside to this is main cast crew though as I did spend a Cite for Janeway. I am saving the Honour for the next honour sale (eg. gold behold plus citation) and I am currently at 100k having spent some getting cheesecake seven immortal
I just pulled 12 packs, did not get a SINGLE copy of Kestra (the only 4* crew I needed)
I always figure it's more logical to buy the $9.99 offer when you need another star on a 4* event crew, than to try to get them in an event pack. Consider that $9.99 is the standard price for 700 dil; and unless you get the 4* crew you want in the first pack, you'd be spending more than $9.99 worth of dilithium for them. (Even considering that you may only purchase dilithium via offers that are 50% off, you will usually still come out better, since it can often take more than 2 packs to get the right one to drop.) So by spending that dollar amount right off the bat, you know you've got the one you want, plus (usually) another 2 event packs on top of that. The only way this method doesn't make sense is if you don't buy your dil, or if you typically just save up from the monthly card and don't spend money other than that at all.
The tail end is precisely my strategy. I buy the monthly card. I'm not a fan of 650 packs. There's really not much else that requires dilithium. It's not hard to accumulate 8k-10k dilithium every second mega event (roughly 120 days). Recap packs are basically the best dilithium-to-honor conversion. All those pulls where the SR is immortalized - those are 800 honor, on average. Basically, you get 2 honor per 1 dilithium. Pulling 25+ gives a pretty good shot at two or three legendaries.
I usually stop sooner if I get the recurring legendary. If that happens, then I just roll the dilithium into the next set of recaps. This time around, the two Dahj's that I pulled, coupled with the pair that I won from top 25 in her event, allowed me to immortalize a top SEC/SCI crew with just one citation. Last time was Soji Asha. I got her after (I think) 12 pulls, so I stopped. And I was ready to go this time around.
The strategy isn't for everyone. But if you get the monthly card and don't chase the Tuesday packs, then there is a strategy behind recap packs that could serve you well.
Well, here’s my haul. 14 packs I believe, my numbers below may be a bit off, I was told there would be no math. No event legendaries which was disappointing but not too bad either.
2 Kestra
3 Tholian Prisoner
Begold 2nd star for Musketeer LaForge
Begold took Bem (Vreenak, Damar)
3 Obrist
Begold took 2nd star for Interfaced Barclay (Augment O’Brien 1/5, AF Dax FFFE)
1 Kes
1 Karyn Archer
1 Kim
1 Tanis

My Crusoe account I had bad luck with RNG. Suspira dropped early knew I would end up with a second copy of her and did. Ended up with 3 copies of Suspira and 10 legendaries out of 75 packs. Knock off two legendaries (2 xtra Suspira) I ended with 8 legendaries out of 75. My worst RNG with mega packs.

Bought the 3900 pack. Got a Doc, 3 Obrists and 2 Tanis. All the purples are honor.
6 packs. Best results here. I also got a grandma Kes and two purple guys I had immortalized.
