All of these crew fit the theme of the Event Crew perfectly (Duchamp and Honey Bare from Our Man Bashir, and Kim for the Captain Proton episodes).... I would absolutely love the event crew info before Tuesday for this event. So many possibilities
I wouldn't count on any of those characters counting. The only times they have done blanket groups like that has been for mega events and events where event crew is tiny.
By my count, we already have 18 event characters that are 4*+ (not including the 3 featured crew in the event). Given how they have approached things in the past, I doubt they'd up the featured crew size by 50% for no real reason.
Ezri Daxen (if they count...they usually do)
Mirror Ezri Tigan
Waitress Ezri
Other Weird One (pretty sure he'll count)
Zhian'Tara Odo
Harry Kims
Rogue Harry Kim
Beowulf Kim
Worfs
Ba'ku Worf
Civil War Worf
Defiant Commander Worf
Sheriff Worf
Mirror Regent Worf
Protomorphosis Worf
Trader Worf
Will Scarlett
Though veteran players won't need them, there's also cadet versions for the newer folks that should be bonus,
Security Chief Worf (**)
Lt Jadzia Dax (*)
Sniper Ezri Dax (***) (if Ezri counts)
Hockey Kim (***)
Ensign Kim (*)
With that many bonus crew, and it being a Galaxy (where the crew demands are a lot less) I'd be very surprised if DB adds other categories of bonus crew, like all the Proton crew, etc.
Yay I like every Proton episode character. We just need Satan's robot, the blonde lady that screams, and the aliens from the ninth dimension! With Thanksgiving on a Thursday, I would have run the event from Friday to Monday or Tuesday.
I am so freaking tired of Galaxy events. Shuttles aren't much better. If you folks want people to continue spending you might want to come up with some game modes that are both active and fun. Voyages are the best thing going and they're naught but a text based adventure with a decision every two hours. During our off days we run missions and shuttles for components to level our characters so that they're strong for events where we run missions and shuttles, with the bonus of getting to throw the chrons for the missions right down the garbage disposal. I can't remember why I care about having a strong crew because there's nothing interesting to do with them EVER. I guess they may as well go on another voyage.
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.

Another extended Galaxy event. Why do you hate us DB?!?!?! WHY THE ####! NOBODY HAS ASKED FOR A LONGER EVENT! CERTAINLY NOT A GALAXY EVENT! Certainly not over the ### #### mother ######## Holiday weekend! ####

Now that the number of crew from certain episodes is getting larger, might it be an idea for future events to have a "crew from this episode" gets a bonus, *instead* of character variants to make things a bit more interesting? So in the case of this event getting a replay, the above would get bonuses, but variants like the number of Dax and Worfs would get none.
Level 99. Latest Immortal (957): Chancellor Gowron - October 2023.
It's happened in the past. There was a captain event where all starfleet captains got a bonus. The event crew were Bateson and Harriman so they didn't have variants to include.
@Shan People may be really "Thankful" if Honey Bare was added to the Community Rewards in a new tier above the 10x Premium Pull
.
Would be awesome but not going to happen (they would say it is to late to add regardless). I was hoping Shan would provide update to rewards structure that was promised in the Q&A. At least that would be a nice gesture for the future.
1) Kudos to DB for listening to the player base on some of the more frequent character request.
2) Jeers to the longer Galaxy event, especially it being on the holiday. You want your employees to go be with family, but encourage tournament gameplay during. That's pretty Ferengi.
Yes. Super Ferengi. Rerun or week off would have been more appropriate.
Definitely would prefer this to start at noon on Friday. But then, I generally think events are too long anyway; And would prefer a little bit more breathing room between them.
That's a really cool 5* crew; it's a shame she comes in a galaxy event.
That's my only real complaint here. I only play for the thresholds anyway, so a week off during the holidays works well for me. If I did play galaxy events for rank, I'd be pretty miffed about the length of this event.
Due to overwhelming player feedback, next week's event "Fast as Light", has been cancelled. This event may run at a future time. Happy Thanksgiving! All captains will be receiving an email with 1000 chronitons and 500 dilithium.
A low maintenance Faction event before the (U.S.) holiday weekend. Followed by a high maintenance time consuming event on a (U.S.) holiday weekend? Am i understanding this correctly?

Shan can you give an update on the planned update to the reward structure? This is a great example of why it is needed. I can participate heavily in this event but it is so long and will cost a lot just to rank decently.
Planned update? I must have missed that. iirc Erin said they would "look into it". Like every other time DB says that it usually means nothing. Has there been anything more concrete than we will look into it since then?

Oooh Good call! And newer players should definitely have her unless they just started.
Agreed.... Even if they just add something to the Threshold at like 350k and 500k. Maybe Honor or something?
PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
It will remain the same and will happen on the Saturday, 11/25.
In that case, Shan, any chance of an extra community reward?
I'd even settle for an extra Supply Kit, to compensate for the extra day...

To confirm, that's a 3-day Phase 1 and a 2-day Phase 2. Interesting.
Please create two events one 3 day two phase and second two day maybe expedition event.
Thanks
I expect you to be disappointed.

Agreed! Maybe 2x or 2.5x the points of the 10x pull so it won’t be a giveaway. It would make our thanksgiving happy.
