My question is: why is Surak frozen?
I was about to ask the same thing. It would take 100+ FF 5* for me to even consider freezing Surak.
Because before the last Slots addition, I had to make room, and forgot him?
He is the first we heard of the Dominion I believe. A great episode with Pel.
my last missing char for the "delphic expanse" collection,so i´m very happy with the first star for her
Took Falcon for the Our Man Bashir collection, and started Chef Sisko.
Edit to add: this was the community pull.

Suraj is snuggling in blankies and drinking hot Vulcan tea now. And keeps glowering at me for forgetting!
I will freeze Surak when I need room and do not have it. My main concern is having the event crew that I figure I need. I am not concerned with 10 hour voyages, I just do 8 hours and return on the dilemma. I have other crew for gauntlet and even with Surak unfrozen he has not been in a gauntlet for a while.
All my shuttles are down to 2mins. Except federation, which I leave at 30 minutes. (Instant back when federation is the winner plus slightly better odds of 2 star faction items dropping.)
I should have mentioned really do not need federation faction items either. So only time I run them is in faction events and when they are the winner.

It's been a good event.
TBH, I can't remember the last time I used Surak for anything. He was key to success when I first got him, always in Gauntlet and constantly on Voyages. But that was back when he was first introduced in April 2018, when he was an undisputed Gauntlet beast (oh God, remember those walls??). Since then, I've built up my roster and he never really rises to the top when I'm choosing my Gauntlet or Voyage crew.
I just looked him up and was surprised to find out that he's actually #25 for overall Voyage score, so maybe I should dig a little deeper for my next DIP/SCI voyage.
Everything people are saying about Surak here is surprising, because he still contributes for me on voyages and in the gauntlet. Right now, he has a 45% bonus in the gauntlet and is helping me hold my own against a bunch of Klingons who have 45 or 65%. He has fallen off a bit for me in voyages but he's still essential whenever I get Sci or Dip; the Vulcan and Telepath traits come up constantly in my voyages too. Honestly, he might be my longest lived Mega crew of use.

- 2nd * for Captain Lorca - over a new 5*(forgot who - I think a Uhura variant) and Tactical Officer Neelix (already immortal)
- 1st * for Fennim(new) - over Tempted Data(new) and the 3-skill Lwaxana Troi(new)
Both easy choices, as am not interested in that Data.
Threshold
- 1st * for Gary Seven(new) - over 2-skiller L. Troi(new) and a 3rd* for Phlox, Au Naturel(2/5)
Bit of a difficult decision because I really prefer to add stars ... but I guess I just can't pass on Mr. Seven, he'll stay 1/5 for a while I figure (working on Aviator Yar - Honor Suicide Pact) but at least he'll be useful in Gauntlet.
ps - in my humble opinion Surak is a better voyager than Picard&Number One even though Surak has a lower total score. Surak has better traits and a better 3rd skills score for those SCI/CMD voyages.
My longest used mega crew is the Borg Queen ... still use her all the time ... she's on a Voyage right now ... Kol, Kortar, Thrax, T'Kuvma and Minuet are all frozen.
BQ is probably my most-used mega crew but Surak is right up there. It’s easy to forget about him because he can get a little buried on the crew list but his secondary and tertiary skills make him still quite a strong contender on voyages.
Mirror Picard and Prisoner Cornwall fall into similar holes - when you actually do the math, their voyage scores remain quite solid for crew with comparable skill sets but they don’t look good in the crew selection screen because the lists are only ordered by the primary skill you’re sorting for.
