I've been pretty happy with the Enterprise mega thematically. I'm going for the top 1k. Jhamel will be nice to have, even if not overly useful on my roster.
I opted for those 390 T'Pol packs over recaps this time around. EV Suit T'Pol is good, but Travers, Jhamel, and Humanoid Figure don't help my roster. At best, I'll want 2 out of 5 (if the final legendary is good). That's not great odds for recaps. Maybe next mega event will have more help for my roster. Not complaining though. I'll play for the theme and read the dialogue. They still got my dilithium for one type of pack.
I'll go the extra mile for any Andorian, but I'm also disappointed in her stats. I'm planning to go after her, but I unlocked a bunch of extra ENT crew for this event so I could go all in, and I'm not sure I'll need them now.
But hey, there's probably a 4* Shran next week. Still looking for Miner Shran, but maybe he'll be in a Tuesday pack!

I just pulled an event pack to try for 4th star on Torres, and I didn’t get any straight crew drop. First 9 cards were rares or ships and the 10th was a behold with incognito Kirk, Galen and smiley O’Brien.
Is this a new feature in the event packs?
I pulled 3 packs- all straight drops for event crew with 1 Kirk and 2 Torres (wish that was reversed), plus a SR behold with one frozen, one FF, and Victorian Pulaski who was 3/4.

sometimes you’ll get a behold with one of the event crew as an option and 2 others that aren’t, it’s not unheard of, just uncommon

But Smiley is a 3*. That's not much of a behold. Can an event behold be that inclusive?

The Humanoid Figure featured Event crew can be Captain Archer AND still not the "real" Figure from the show/"cannon". In S2E1 Shockwave p2. Archer uses a scanner and communicator plus a piece of equipment left on Enterprise to become the Figure on the Helix platform to get back to his timeline from the 31st century...

Very true. Plus Scott Bakula’s acting skills left quite a bit up to the imagination. I got that he was a Humanoid Figure but not much past that.

Immortalized Reverend Phlox yesterday for my tenth immortalized legendary.
Ah, goals:
*Event- Top 1500. I was close on the last Skirmish, 1525th. I failed two rounds, when I got distracted waiting to start, and the game bounced me out of one round twice, so I didn't get the last 3000 points I should have. Makes the close ranking harder to take. Finally got my top 2000 achievement, though.
*Collections- Finish Sheriff Worf. He's FF, level 80 something, and he will give my first for The Wild West and my second for Holodeck Enthusiasts.
*Vault- Fifteen immortalized golds. Mirror Picard and Q as God both just need three pieces of equipment each. Tenavik and Protomorphosis Barclay are FF at 90, needing equipment. Tourist Tucker @ 80 gets his 5th star tomorrow and The Humanoid Figure is not far behind.
*Gauntlet - FE Bartender Guinan. She will be a real boost. I frequently finish between 170 and 140, even on bad days. She could move me into that 125-150 range.
*Episodes- Last 5 stars on Ep4. One mission I haven't even played on epic.
*Immediate- Upgrade enough crew that I can freeze my lower level immortalized 4*. I need 5 slots for overflow crew and two for the event, as Jarok is new for me. Best candidates for getting crew to the freezer.
- Incognito Kirk- Even with his last couple pieces of equipment, he won't make top ten for COM and won't be much use outside a Kirk faction event and I have Mirror Kirk waiting for a slot.
- Reinforcements Stamets- He will actually make the top ten when I finish his uniform, but he will knock Obrist out and Obrist can then be frozen.
- Time Loop Mudd- He won't be top ten for ENG with Tourist Tucker FF, so he can go in.
- Four more TBD. I intend to keep a voyage out constantly to build chrons for the event and usually get a 4* a day if I do. I have a bunch of crew FE needing 1-3*. Most will not be staying out when immortalized. Some might have gotten some use when first FE, but none lately.
- I could buy slots, but I don't think I need to. I have a little time and will see what I can do.
Update- Tourist Tucker got that final star today. Customer service gave me the honor and accolades I lost when the game ate my Arena tickets and I couldn't finish daily tasks. I also got my final star for Dolim out of the apology portal they included. He was at 100 and needing equipment already. When immortalized, he can freeze and give me a slot.

I see a lot of things, like growing collective hopelessness.
I see no point in trying to win a faction event when the same players regularly buy 1st-75th place with dilithium. That is their choice & that’s cool, but it’s not fun for me, so I choose to not compete in these. 🖖

You can do it on basically just the the campaign. If they ever put crew good enough to get you to spend in the campaigns again, let me know. I can help you get into the top 25 after a couple months of saving. And it's not strict saving. You can still make top 1,500 in the meantime.
But yes. Getting first place is clearly unobtainable without paying a very high price. My lowest estimates are well over $1,000 USD.

Not sure about the strategy required to win a faction event, but shouldn't it be possible to save up dilithium too, without spending that much money all at once? I have no idea what amount of dilithium we're talking about though.

The only viable strategy to win a Faction event is to be named GIANTrobotear. Nobody else short of Warren Buffett has permission.
I finished in 90th this week. Used about 70 rent-a-shuttles, 30 reward doublers, and a bunch of time boosts. If interest in this crew was greater I may not have finished that high but I did not spend money at all to get to this rank. I save my rent-a-shuttles and reward doublers since the last mega.
Comments
With her stats, even if power leveled, she probably won't be "vital" to do well in a Galaxy.
I started to get excited at the prospect of Jhamel, but now I'm threshold and out, as she's not worth the effort.

Edit: Nevermind. Took about fifteen minutes of waiting and forced restarts, but I got in.

The Behold had an Event Crew. That counts.
Probably was this. I think Beholds are all 4 🌟. BeGolds are all Legendary.

Now can we talk about the big curiosity?!?!?

2} Where would she locate such a class?
