The way to look at it is you're changing one gold for another. You 'lose' a gold Spock but you still end up with a gold Reunion Spock so you still have one gold, just a different one.
What you are losing are the four purples. This card is 100% worth destroying four anxious kirk's, no matter what his stats are.

I agree completely. If we get crew like reunion Spock and Kirk, I am all for this type of fusion card.
I think for Gold+Purple merges to work, the final product needs to be something pretty special. And a legendary card that counts as two main cast characters is pretty special.
I'd be open to such merge card in the future that are special in some other way. Maybe Grilka + Klingon Quark gets you a great gauntlet character, or Weyoun 5 + Weyoun 4 = Weyoun 8 (don't check my math) with a new top DIP base.

I don't like having to buy a pack or wait probably a year since Kirk is unlikely to make the next portal update. Having scrounged up enough credits it also ruins the plan to speed up Quantum.
Generally, it looks like the previous Elusive Treasures pack will be the next portal update, more or less. I keep the messages as reference and the ET pack before this last one was either exactly the portal additions or almost.

FTP and RSK have different strengths, so I’d keep both if you have that option. As for Anxious Kirk... I suspect he’ll be heavily underrepresented on STT rosters until he’s in-portal.
I wonder if there is any point of merging and at the same time keep an individual copy of the characters (for the vault, I guess?)
Vault. If you want to collect them all you need them all.
Also, for spock specifically.,Spock will be high bonus next week. Spork will only be small bonus as a spock variant. So if you want full event bonus to compete next week you'll want a spock that is not merged.

I have one Spock and 2 Kirks... I guess I could use the "double the crew! offer to get another Spock, or try my luck in packs next event. That will be 1 of each to cite, fuse and cite, and one of each for keeps.
Just so I remember I’m doing this right, I can have 4 copies of Kirk and only one copy of Spock and still make it work right? I don’t need 5 Spock and 1 Kirk?

It doesn’t bother me to turn a 5* into another 5*, but I certainly understand how it can irritate some. I earned one 5* Spock in the event and used honor to make him 2/5. I asked CS to split the cards into two 1/5’s. That way, I can still level the new Spock and fuse the other Spock with Anxious Kirk. Doing it this way, I don’t have to try and chase another Spock in the packs or spend $25 on the DYC offer (although I did spend the 50k in honor). Yes, I could have waited for the honor sale and used a citation then, but I didn’t want to risk CS not being able to respond right away.

Does that work? Using a citation to upgrade and then asking for a split, it's like using 50k to buy a crew of your choice (that you already have). I don't think CS should be willing to do that.

Agreed. CS shouldn't really be splitting in general. But if a crew was fused with a copy just before a fusion was announced, it's slightly understandable. This is blatant abusing the system. Citing a new character that you already knew was used in a fusion, and using a cite rather than having a second copy. You didn't earn that second copy and are trying to play CS to get around the system. I hope CS doesn't split any Spocks since we knew the fusion from the introduction. And I certainly hope CS is not going to split crew that were cited rather than merged with duplicate copies of the crew.

I think putting the needed Kirk in a giant pack so it took me five pulls to get one copy and four pulls did not net me a second copy is an abuse of the system.
So I should have added one cite to the one Anxious Kirk I managed to pull, asked for a split and then I would have a Anxious Kirk to Fuse and a Anxious Kirk to immortalise?
That's not cricket and people have been banned for less.
I hope this didn't really happen - If I'd have asked CS to split I would hope they would simply provide me with the Anxious Kirk and a cite.
If you have one Spock, and want an extra one, you have the "double the crew" offer that appears with every gold. Citing and asking for a split doesn't sound right (I think you can even dismiss and reenlist to trigger the "double the crew" offer, which is kind of weird, but not as much)

Honestly, I didn’t think anything of it. I figured 2 stars is essentially 2 copies. I certainly wasn’t trying to blatantly abuse the system as you put it, nor was I intentionally playing CS. Having said that, the more I think about it, the more I can see the point you make. Lesson learned...

I did not get the DYC offer when I got the FTP Spock, which figures, because it was the one time I actually wanted to use it. I was hoping to keep one for fusing and one for the card itself, as I want to get every crew in the game.
CS won't help me with this, it seems. They are claiming that the DYC is random, which I have never found to be the case. So, it will be extra frustrating if they give a second copy to someone who used a cite for that reason.
If I don't get anywhere with CS, I'll try your dismiss and reenlist trick. Thank you for sharing that.
It does seem to be "peak TP" though to turn down someone who is willing, and wanting, to spend money, on one of their standard offers, and for them to blow me off. I've spent a lot of time supporting the company, both here on the forum, and in a literal sense💰💰💰, but this kind of thing makes me throw my hands up and go WTF 🤷🏻♂️

AFAIK, th offer is not random, but it won't show up if you have another DYC offer active (so wait until it's over to try the dismiss and reenlist)

Yes. 4 Kirk. 1 Spock.
Wow!!!!
I can't help but feel that you're flying the wrong ship
Those Sporks had to be shipped off to the 32nd Century to keep the timelines from going off the rails.
Spock #4 looks like he's lonely without his Kirk.
So is this a mistake or does the merged Spock and Kirk really have no ship ability ?
Where do you get this from ? It's totally different to what is coming up for me .
I had to restart the app to see the correct ship abilities after fusion.
Thanks , that made a difference . I have the same now .
