    Can I just say how beautifully such a tight color pallette was used on those three, together?!?!?

    🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿🖖

    I was about to say the same thing. WRG getting those three from different series, no less. Very well done. I'm quite impressed.
    Farewell 🖖

    It's almost entirely shades and tones of brown. And it's like looking at something on a wall in a museum. An artist, or artists, being truly artistic.

  • Personally I was hoping this variant of Torres when it finally came out would be a legendary, and would get the Lucille Davenport treatment for a "the killing game" collection. But I'm excited to have her none the less!
  • Which faction is most likely to win? I would guess Klingons have the most crew in the game, but maybe the Terrans help enough with Mirror crew to have a chance?

    Terrans have the most useful items, imo. I'll probably run mostly Terran shuttles. I may mix in some Klingon shuttles if the Terrans have a decisive lead toward the end. I haven't needed Dominion items in quite a long time. I suspect the Terran Empire will win, but I've been surprised before.

    It doesn't seem like I ever need to run Klingon shuttles for anything, not even leveling Klingons (they KCA Faction items for the most part, not Klingon Faction). Dominion missions can at least obtain Synthesized Polymer even if you have no Dominion crew to level. I agree , Terran has the most useful items by far and it seems like they should win.

    The two items I’m most interested in are 3* alcohol (available from both the Terrans as well as the Klingons) and 3* polyalloys (not available from the Klingons). Seeing as how I go through more polyalloys than I do synthesized polymers, I will also be hitting the Terran missions pretty hard.
  • Thank you for the analysis.

    I will offer some clarification here, there are many reasons words get filtered, being offensive is only one of these reasons. A big aspect of the filter is also to protect against sharing of real names, and personal identifiable information.

    It does need tweaking, and it is a slow process as I have other tasks that take priority.

    Sounds to me like a great task you could give to a summer intern...tell them to add exceptions to the safety filters for every Trek character with a regular human name and let them be for a week. It probably wouldn’t even have to be a paid internship either, I can only imagine how many high school or college kids would jump at the opportunity to work at a game company for a month or three.

    Most unpaid internships are illegal. A data entry task that would otherwise be accomplished by an employee certainly would fall into the category of work that an intern would have to be paid for.

    Torres' DIP is great...and almost makes up for the fact that Jhamel is DOA.

    Technically, Jhamel is the #3 for DIP/MED combo for shuttles, but that combination is so strong and overrepresented in the game that it doesn't count for much IMO.

    Bones McCoy, Soji Asha and Q as "God" are all in the top 10 (with Bones and Soji edging her out) and if you've been playing for a year, you would already have all three at 4/5.

    As a newer player, there are any number of crew that are available in the portal with that combination that will easily edge her out if you add a third skill. Heck, this week's Alicia Travers comes in at #10 for DIP/MED base - and her third skill will give her far more flexibility for young rosters.

    Love that Jhamel's in the game, disappointed she didn't amount to much.

Heck, this week's Alicia Travers comes in at #10 for DIP/MED base - and her third skill will give her far more flexibility for young rosters.

    Being a Two-Skill and both Bases being equal at Level One, Jhamel might have been a little more useful if her Bases had stayed even, and both maxed out around 1250. Would have boosted her just a smidge, but might have done a lot more for her than it would do "on paper".....

    Disappointed Jhamel is only two skill.

  • Very minor, but what separates a Spy from an Undercover Operative? The wiki says the traits were merged a few years ago, then split again for Romulan Kirk later in 2016. If the wiki (https://stt.wiki/wiki/Category:Spy) is up-to-date, Brigitte will be only the 5th Spy in the game.

    Seems to me the difference is that the spy is working against a foreign government and the undercover operative is not. Brigitte Torres is French resistance working against the Germans. Romulan Kirk is working against the Romulan government. Undercover Operative Dark Ages McCoy is sneaking into a hospital to rescue Chekov not working against a foreign government.

  • spy also sounds cooler :wink:

    Yay for Jhamel. She was awesome. I hope her stats are awesome too. Maybe we will have an Andorian collection soon.

    Haha, I posted that artwork of Jham as well and it got removed only hours later. But it is so cute and pretty! Jhamel is the highlight of this mega event for me. <3

    MED-DIP was my guess, I hoped for CMD as tertiary and the Pilot trait (because she remotely piloted a drone ship), but this will do, as long as her two skills are 1300+ and one of them in the high 1400's (with bonuses).

    @DScottHewitt You were not the only one. ;)

    Wish she had had a third skill and diplomat trait. Oh well.

    Thanks. I'll see how hard the fight is, but I'm just not feeling the need to work hard for this crew.
