Well, they were up today.
Delta Flyer Paris - Not a bad choice with a Paris as the new 4* Thursday. Mine is now 2/5* lvl 82 or so.
Romulan Picard- ???????? I got him, since he was new to me and I was down to six Romulan crew to go, but I don't see him as useful this week.
Next week however... If Carlos Data is the new 5*, one of the Dixon Hill variants could be the existing 4*. The Picard would be handy then. I've decided there is usually a method to their madness. Offers, Packs, even patterns in the "random" drops can build a picture of things to come. Caregivers campaign? Future event bonus. The Enterprise Tourists? Enterprise mega. Current campaign puts a 4/5 newer Tom Paris in the roster right before a new Tom is event crew. Either Picard or a trait will be useful.

Shouldn't next week be a rerun of an event, just before the start of the December Mega? I know timing can slip every couple of months to keep things aligned properly with the calendar, so not sure...
But if so, maybe Carlos Data will be used in a Dixon Hill rerun. The Big Sting has had Parts 1 and 2; as has One Incredible Tale (1 and 2; two actually just ran in June, so not likely again). Doc Crusher and Cyrus Redblock were both pack exclusives. Gloria was introduced during a Mega event. Anyone remember when Tommy Gun Dixon was introduced (his wiki page doesn't say)?
It might be new. There are 5 Thursdays in December. If memory serves, they tend to have new events over holiday weekends. That would mean next week is new, the 3rd is a rerun, and the 3rd and 4th parts of the mega would begin on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve respectively. Make sense to have new events when people are home. I recall being in event mode at my sister's on both Thanksgiving and Christmas last year.
I didn't think it looked likely for a rerun of the Dixon Hill events either.
Not sure when or how Tommy Gun Dixon was added either. There is a note about him gaining the Musician trait in '17, so he has to be a fairly old one, but I haven't seen him listed as event crew, existing or new. Must have been a pack crew or something else.

Well, we have a Data as the 5* next week, who looks like a likely offer? Mirror maybe? Since the collection is new. I'm not sure which variants are similar to the new Data. Somehow, I only have the 2 5* Datas from the campaigns. I don't think I've ever had him appear in a portal for me. Anyone think of a Data that would work?

Seeing what we know of the mega, I think Mirror Stamets is a good bet for one offer. The second one might be the Navigator variant of him or another 5* Disco Mirror, like Tilly or Detmer.

The Mega is Mirror themed, so I think Mirror anyone would NOT be an option, as I have observed that they usually put a variant in the LTO, and veer away from an Event specific crew.
I will choose some Burnham variant, and Dr. Culber.
And having said that, it will be something like Away Team Saru & Suus Mahna Sarek.
They often do match traits for LTOs and Burnham (besides reoccurring and Mirror) won't take bonus anyway, since she's Mega.
I'll take another star for Tilly and a start for Stamets.

I'm going to guess: Cadet Silvia Tilly and Vahar'ai Saru (or as I like to think of him: Gunshow Saru ).
Though Mountain Climber Mayweather is just as likely. I think we can safely assume Captain Killy isn't going to show up again (since she was just offered).
I think Vahar'ai Saru is more likely than Away Team Saru.
Good move to offer a Tilly a week early, since she's awesome for skirmishes. That leads me to believe Mountain Clumber Mayweather will be the offer. He's an awesome crew, even if he doesn't show up in events often.
Six degrees in Inter-species Veterinary Medicine. Treating all manner of critters, from Tribbles to Humans.
I just FE my MC Mayweather today in preparation for the next event. I would definitely grab another star for him. He's got some good profiencies. I was a bit surprised when I checked where he placed in my roster and very pleased. I may get a little Gauntlet use out of him for now. He may be useful for a middle of the pack player like me.

I seem to remember using him in the Captain division too.
Happy to grab another star for both Travis and Malcolm anyway.
There is bound to be one, if not two, of Saru next week. It may depend on who the 4* crew are.

Ooh...there are some good 5* variants for Saru, McCoy, and Georgiou to choose from.
Since McCoy is in the Thresholds, I would guess a Saru and a Georgiou.
Vahara'i Saru and Desert Georgiou would be a good set. I'd take any of either as I have a limited roster of their golds. I'd like the second star on that Saru and I need that Georgiou.

We got Mirror Kira and Mirror Spock today to finish our Mirror event. Do we dare to even guess next week?
I would go with a Picard and a Q, since there was a Quark in the rewards.

Comments
Monday crew LTOs are the oddities, not the norm. Usually they are Tuesday LTOs.
Yeah, it would seem I was wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh, you're too kind, but this is far, far, FAR from the first time that I was wrong.
Delta Flyer Paris - Not a bad choice with a Paris as the new 4* Thursday. Mine is now 2/5* lvl 82 or so.
Romulan Picard- ???????? I got him, since he was new to me and I was down to six Romulan crew to go, but I don't see him as useful this week.

I also track that on my backend sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1czPEYhyNszsx7BqzYsbicAHKK15w4hjTmYiSp_jKsgg/edit#gid=0
So, if I'm reading this right, Tommy Gun Dixon was a launch original card?
I will choose some Burnham variant, and Dr. Culber.
And having said that, it will be something like Away Team Saru & Suus Mahna Sarek.
I'll take another star for Tilly and a start for Stamets.
So my guess for next week is:
Mountain Climber Mayweather
Away Team Saru
Though Mountain Climber Mayweather is just as likely. I think we can safely assume Captain Killy isn't going to show up again (since she was just offered).
Mountain Climber Mayweather and Cadet Sylvia Tilly
Good move to offer a Tilly a week early, since she's awesome for skirmishes. That leads me to believe Mountain Clumber Mayweather will be the offer. He's an awesome crew, even if he doesn't show up in events often.
Starport
I seem to remember using him in the Captain division too.
I feel like I just got hunted by velociraptors. I was staring at the ones I thought I was going to see, and didn't notice the one sneaking in.
50%. Mountain Climber Mayweather & Mirror Reed.
There is bound to be one, if not two, of Saru next week. It may depend on who the 4* crew are.
Since McCoy is in the Thresholds, I would guess a Saru and a Georgiou.
Vahara'i Saru and Desert Georgiou would be a good set. I'd take any of either as I have a limited roster of their golds. I'd like the second star on that Saru and I need that Georgiou.
