    As long as mycelial Culber is in threshold rewards I will be happy. Had to look up who Kelis was though. Poet guy on the planet Torres crashes on is not a very exciting legendary but maybe people will want him to go with Layna. I sadly had to airlock my Layna in the wait for crew slot sale.

    It’s a flashback, no Culber.

    Also, are physicians still bonus crew like last time?

    I've been waiting months to actually try competing for an event..... unless Kelis is Braxton 2.0 you guys are not motivating me to bother here

    Then I am not happy.

    Edited the post to include bonus for crew with the Physician trait.
  • I would have definitely preferred a new Torres from this episode, but unless he's a two-skiller and rank 200 voyager I will probably get him.

    I don't mind the one-off crew as long as they as useful: Have good number/mix of traits, 3 skills, shuttle or voyage capable, arena worthy or even a gauntlet wild card. I would rather have that than *insert main crew here* #16. That being said, I can't see how this guy can have any skill other than DIP, so not sure what they will stick him with. :/

    He should definitely have MED, I just hope that he won't be a DIP/MED two-skiller.

    I think you are right, he will be med/dip - dip/med

    So... Is this leading into a flashback/rerun of Leisure Time as well? Are we getting a new EMH? Or is Holonovel going to be a trait match?
  • AviTrekAviTrek ✭✭✭✭✭
    These one off characters are fun because we get to see the old episodes with a new light, gives a bit of depth rather than Kirk variant #4261 with +2 million CMD like other FTP games do (looking at you Dragon Ball Legends).
    Trek is such a diverse and vast landscape that I'm glad we have a card for every occasion.

    They're fun from that perspective, but unless they have top stats they're more likely to show up in the honor suicide pack than anything else. And with close to 0 future event potential, I would have trouble citing him even if he was top 10 voyage score.

    It's unlikely to be another flashback/re-run. We could be getting another new Doctor, or it could be a trait match. Either way, it's likely to be as pointless as last time. Bonus crew on a galaxy event are largely meaningless.

  • Wait, last time teatime Doc was only 2x event crew and not 4x (some other holodoc was exact event crew) on next event. There was some mayham
    with the playerbase. Somehow i expect TP to pull that stunt again...

    Last time, Holonovel Doctor was bonus crew for the next event. Exactly as stated then, and exactly as has been stated now. Tee Time Doctor was the new event crew last time, we don't know who the event crew will be this time out yet. The only "mayhem" was with players who didn't read and/or understand what was written.

    It's not often that I feel the need to defend TP, but last time out they delivered exactly what was promised.

    Last time they delivered a poorly worded announcement that was open for misinterpretation.

    This time they seem to have delivered a poorly worded it announcement that would be open for misinterpretation if players hadn't learned the first time.

    Technically, as I recall there was a mix up with the Auther Doctor and the physician trait. In addition to the misunderstanding between bonus and event. Which was why I commented about the previous event to draw attention and to prevent the it from happening again by wondering if we would get a new Doc or which on of his traits might get used.

    I think it would be interesting, given current US events, if President of Earth was the existing next week.

    I'll admit that it was open to misinterpretation, if only because everything is open to misinterpretation when dealing with people who don't bother reading things properly, leap to conclusions based on wishful thinking, then blame their lack of comprehension on the authors.

    In other words, absolutely everything ever posted on the internet.

    On the other hand, if you understand the difference between "bonus crew" and "event crew" (i.e. how events work), and actually read the announcement, it was perfectly clear.

    To quote from this event at the top
    Bonus crew:
    • high bonus: event crew
    • small bonus: variants of Riker, Bashir, Culber, and crew with the Physician trait.

    So is "bonus crew" high bonus or small bonus? They're both listed as "bonus crew" every week.

    Since the 5* ranked reward is the high bonus the following week (ie how events work), it was completely reasonable to assume bonus crew meant high bonus since bonus crew is used interchangeably and there 5* ranked is high bonus.

    No, that's not correct. Shan's phrasing for event notes does not specify two groups, one labeled "bonus crew" and one labeled "event crew". Scroll up and read it again.

    Meh, what the heck, I'll save you some time. The note on Holonovel Doctor includes: "the 4* ranked reward, Holonovel Doctor, will be a bonus crew for the event starting on 11/12" (emphasis mine).

    Now let's see how Shan describes bonus crew:

    "Bonus crew:
    • high bonus: event crew
    • small bonus: variants of Riker, Bashir, Culber, and crew with the Physician trait."

    Y'see? Holonovel Doctor was not described as "high bonus" or "small bonus" (the two groups DB/TP use to differentiate), merely "bonus", which means that we were not given enough information to conclude whether Holonovel Doctor would be "high bonus" or "small bonus" (i.e. how events officially work). And it's not been fixed this time.

    If the announcement had said, 'the 4* ranked reward, Holonovel Doctor, will be a small bonus crew for the event starting on 11/12', then you would be correct, ChaosChild.

    If only you'd bothered to read it properly! :tongue:

    In the context of events, crew that are designed as event crew rather than trait/variant bonus crew are designated separately:
    Ranked Reward 5*: Kelis (New) - this crew will be featured event crew in the event starting on 11/12.

    <snip>

    Holonovel Doctor, will be a bonus crew for the event starting on 11/12

    If the Holonovel Doc were an event crew rather than just a small bonus crew, we’d know.
