Klingon O'Brien & Anbo...Riker

Just curious. How many of you found any use keeping and maxing Klingon O'Brien and Anbo-jyutsu Riker?
I am serious considering airlocking them rather than waste valuable resources on them.

    Both immortalized and sitting in the freezer waiting for the next Riker or O’Brian event.

    They both have decent core skills and as paund stated possible useful in future events.

    It really depends where you are at in the game. If you don’t have a lot of back log, they are fully fuzed and you are not hurting for space then you should keep them.

    I personally finished O’Brien during event but have been finishing Kira and Paris this week so no riker yet. I can fe 3-4 a week at this point because of voyages and replicator.

    O’Brian was immortalized in the first few hours after I got the 130k threshold 3* plus the community awards. I FE 100 Riker soon after the 1* community award dropped then made sure I stayed between 1500-2000 for the other 3* ranked rewards at the end. Surprisingly, the 1/4 Riker was far more useful in crafting bonuses than the 4/4 O’Brian. I dropped from like 100 at the beginning because I didn’t want to waste resources staying in top 1000 to get the Torchbearee as I don’t need another 1/5* SEC/CMD Klingon taking up a crew space when I have a immortalized T’Kumquat already.

    Same here. My Eng depth is pretty poor so KOB is getting fairly frequent shuttle use. Some use for Riker too, but less so. Of course this will all depend on what you currently are running, so there's really not much use to us telling you how useful they are for us.

    The way I look at it a 4/4 is always worth keeping, unless you have literally no space for them. It doesn't cost anything to have a level 1 character sitting around being useless, and next time an event rolls around that they're bonus in they come in handy and it's no longer a 'waste' to level them up. You never know who will suddenly be useful - for instance I don't really care about the Orion Slaver, I just kept him when he turned up because I keep all the purples I can, then that Discovery event where he was bonus happened, I levelled him, got more copies from the event, and now he's FF/FE and even if I ever run completely out of space and need his crew slot for someone I like better, I don't have to lose him, just put him in cryo.

    True... for me neither Riker or O’Brian hit the top 6 (my criteria for freezing) in their main stat. I don’t think either made top 10 even. I mean even Hobo O’Brian has a much better ENG than the Klingon one.

    Same strategy for riker. Finished 1877. No interest in another Klingon when I have tkumva, proto Worf, Baku Worf, klaa and so on. What was dB thinking?

    O'Brien was such poor stats I airlocked him all 4 times during the event for honor. Still on the fence about Riker. He will sit on level 20 limbo until I get other more important crew sorted.

    Maxed O'Brien, didn't get too far with Riker prepping for this event.
    I always keep main cast crew to prep for the next event they show up in

    As much as I love O'Brien, this one wasn't worth keeping. Stats were unimpressive, and the less I have to look at the art the better. Riker looks cool at least, but his stats are also nothing to be excited about, especially as a 1/4. I am still holding onto him as a level 1 for now.

    Riker's stats are pretty poor and offer nothing that other Riker's don't. Off to the vault he went.

    O'Brien is much more interesting. He's a decent Voyage character and unlike most versions of O'Brien his main stat is DIP. That makes him a little more interesting as an event character. So far I'm keeping him around.

    Maxed out O'Brien. Despite the art being not what I expected I am still an O'Brien fan. Also, it turned out I needed him for one of my last Romulan Mission Epic nodes (diplomacy + undercover operative, in Trust Issues I think), so he was worth it.

    I kept O'Brien and immortalised him just before the event ended..
    Riker was escorted straight to the airlock as soon as he came on board!

    They will both come in handy for future Riker or O'Brien events so I kept them.

    Any main cast 4* that can break 700 base is worth at least immortalizing because it probably would be useful in a future shuttle event. A 2x bonus at 700 will clearly be better than non-event FF 5*s.

    Specifically for these characters, I believe this version of Riker also has the highest SEC base of any of the non-5* Rikers and O'Brien is pretty solid in voyages, in addition to being a DIP O'Brien, which is pretty unique.

    Also, if you are able to do 6+ hour voyages, I think you are overvaluing your "precious leveling resources". Chrons are plentiful, these days, so moving out FF 4*s is a great use for future benefits.

    Thanks everyone for your input. I will hold on to them until space/slot dictates that I have to let them go. And I do not see a reason to invest resources on them so that will remain at entry level until such time.

    airlocked both. did one recipe to get community rewards and then skipped whole event. O'Brien is the new 21st century Martok/BO Dax and don't care for power ranger Riker.

    Cardassian Kira is even making it on a shuttle this event, and she's downright awful.

    And the kick is good for 3 points.... Yep. Main cast even with crappy stats are great in faction events.

    If he had been the ranked reward in a faction event, I'd have kept him (O'Brien that is). As for Riker, there's too many DIP-SEC-CMD guyz out there already, so I spaced him as well. As I wanna save crew slots for better crew and keep the 4's I need for voyages and shuttles, O'Brien didn't just make the cut, as I usually don't go past 2'000 points in a Galaxy.

    Both went right out the airlock for me. My concession to hideous characters stopped at Bucktooth T'Pol, scrolling past that O'Brien every day would pain me, and putting chrons into him would hurt me more. I might have kept Riker if it were his dad just for the novelty, but yet another Cmd/Sec/Dip Will is completely unappealing to me.
    Maybe the irony is that we play because we’re Star Trek fans, those hopeful idealists that like to think things will get better when we raise valid concerns about fairness and balance, etc and we forget that DB’s greed openly mocks the values espoused by the franchise they have a license for.
