    You also have to account for the short run of TOS though. It ran for 80 episodes over three seasons, the lowest except TAS with 22 eps. Even Enterprise beat it by 16 eps. There is less to pick from and they have done a lot of it already. Not much choice stuff they can do yet.
    We have three crew just from the Cage! They can't do TOS Mudd. The Cage Pike is likely out too. JtB Sarek and Amanda come to mind and some of the more memorable guest stars, but they didn't really have reoccurring guests like Q, Martok, Seska, Shran, etc. One offs or variants of main cast are all we can get from TOS.

    Sure about that?

    And we still have a mountain of iconic characters to choose from, even if they are one-offs...just off the top of my head:

    Bele
    Lokai
    Gav
    Sylvia
    Korob
    Flint
    Gary Mitchell
    Balok
    Balok’s false image

    Dr. Severin
    Vanderberg
    Deela
    any of the Kelvans
    Cordrazine McCoy
    Tree Climber Spock
    Irina (Chekov’s ex)
    Galt
    Shahna
    Uhura’s drill thrall trainer
    The Providers
    Natira
    Sargon/Hengist/Thalassa
    Mr. Atoz
    Roger Korby

    Norman
    Simon van Gelder
    Donald Cory
    Areel Shaw
    Commodore Stone
    Landru
    Parmen
    Alexander
    T’Pring
    Anan 7
    Bela Oxmyx
    Jojo Krako
    John Gill
    Tyree
    Captain Ronald Tracy
    Elaan
    Commander Loskene
    EV Suit Kirk (plus others in those suits that looked like electric razors)

    And if we extend it to the TOS films:

    Sonak
    Preston
    EV Suit Spock
    other EV Suit Kirk
    Mr. Adventure
    that giant Starfleet Security dude
    Admiral Morrow
    Bus Punk
    Maltz
    St. John Talbot
    Korrd
    Caithlin Dar
    Sybok’s lieutenant
    Azetbur
    not-a-Trill Dax
    Hungover Chekov
    Colonel West
    Nanclus
    Ambassador Kamarag

    I’m sure there are more, but I’m sure WRG could fill an entire year solid of nothing but TOS legendaries (which would ruin me financially :) ) and still have leftover crew...I mean, I didn’t even list any TAS characters like M’Ress, Stavos Keniclius, Spock Two, or several others.

    Hmmm, I forgot about that one. I don't have him, so he didn't spring to mind. I'd have thought there would be a license issue for him. He died while the show was still on the air and his widow was convinced sci-fi was beneath him. I guess his heirs have better sense.

    It’s not like there are that many scenes with Jeffrey Hunter’s Pike that we could reasonably expect to get characters from. Maybe from the picnic with Vina or having a drink with Dr. Boyce*? Regardless, I, too, am glad that the family changed its mind about his role in Trek. That gives me hope that the families of Robert Walker and/or Roger C. Carmel will have a similar change of heart in the future.

    *Speaking of crew we could add, Boyce would be another fun one:

    Dr. Philip Boyce - 5*

    Well, I'm reinstalling instead of playing. It bounced me on the first bout of my first Skirmish. They have got to fix this!
    There are only two versions of the TOS/DS9 trio. A 3* each from TOS and a 5* for Kang and Koloth and a 4* of Kor from DS9. That last annoyed me. He got three DS9 episodes and was a 4*. Kor is a favorite in this house. My beloved Border Collie was called Kor.
    As for Craft, he may be in it a good bit this season. We don't know yet.

    Fajo is not a gold? Thats crazy.

    Who is to say there won't be a 5* version of Kivas Fajo in the future?

    This is a drum I have been known to beat. It is nearly unheard of for a one-off character to get multiple cards; Kamala is the only real exception I can think of. I suppose the Bynar fusion technically counts, and maybe we can stretch things to include Annorax (even if that's a two-parter). If there are others, please correct me!

    But Fajo clearly has his fans, and that counts for something. I can't recall if he has an outfit switch, but other distinct art is easily made. Perhaps a "Threatening Kivas Fajo" with his disputer, or a "Collector Kivas Fajo" showing off his baseball card.

    Personally, I'd love to see him get the Davenport treatment, although I'm not sure what trait collection would make sense. Most of the ones he has are quite large, or fairly small. Although if we're getting a Mirror collection, a large collection may be possible.

    Because you asked for it - it's definitely not common, but there are a few other examples of one-off characters with multiple versions :
    - Craft
    - Ilia
    - Lily Sloane

    There are also quite a few who probably have more versions than are justified for their screen time (Vina, Number One, the Klingon TOS/DS9 trio, Cochrane, Leah Brahms, Mayweather).

    Moral of the story: gimme a 5* Kivas Fajo.

    Craft is a great one, he doesn't even get a full 40 min episode! I also didn't think if the movies, which is pretty silly.

    Poor Mayweather. We'll need a series of "the pilot learns to pilot alien craft so someone else can pilot it" versions.

  • I keep getting kicked out too. 'An error occurred on the server. Please try again - not allowed.'
    Lost thousands of rewards.
    Second event week in a row that's screwed.
  • PenguinJimPenguinJim ✭✭✭✭✭
    I've had that "not allowed" message a few times today after winning a battle, but I've never seen it in previous Skirmishes. I'm not clear on whether or not I've lost those VP, because I don't track it between every space battle. I'm generally not even aware of which x/5 battle I'm on, but I was lucky enough to notice it happened once after the final battle with the Borg Diamond.

    Does it always happen after the final battle? Are we definitely losing that VP?
  • I've had it happen on second, third, fourth and final.
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    For event issues please post in engineering room.
    We are aware of the current issues and are looking into it.
    One recommendation I can make is to not let the game go into the background during skirmishes, and that means switching between apps as well.
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    As I said in Engineering Room, we've pushed a fix that should improve things.
    Please restart the game just in case.

    I do like that TP was able to fix the Borg ship. At the beginning of the event it had little detail and was more grey. Now it looks perfect.

    i think that’s a bug, it goes back to normal if you refresh the app, same happened to me with the generational nx-01 🖖

    I like the way the Queen's ship blows up. It's no Krenim time ship, but it's still satisfying.

  • i’d just like to say kudos to the art department for queenie’s ship- it looks fantastic! :smiley:

  • Got 2-3 on my Chromebook. Seems odd the anti cheat check ALWAYS triggered between the 1st and 2nd battle. One would thing it would be a good idea to randomize it. Plus it looks like Damar got most of them, looks to be weighted against iPads for some reason....?

    That’s over 4 days, I can understand if I was constantly skirmishing but I’ve been in the 800s most of the day.

    I mean, Saul Rubinek was just pseudo name checked in the last episode of Lower Decks, so Kivas might just warrant a second card.

    I've had more checks today alone than the rest of the time we've had skirmish events combined. And I always play on my phone.

    It's annoying. Basically using one hand to hit auto and if far left side, I get kicked out.
  • EnderWEnderW ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm betting there's a glitch in the nanoprobe checks; I've gotten it five times today, each one after the first battle I fought after breaks of more than 20-30mins. I typically get 1-3 checks an event.

    Another one after the first battle and I had just spent time cleaning the kitchen.
  • Wooooo, just got 300 chrons three times in a row. I don't know what the chance of that is, but it feels like winning the chron lottery.

    Granted, I'd much rather be getting honor, and so far this event has been a bit light on that front for me.
