Day 2:
Trelane (new) > Mirror Cochrane and Vreenak
Killy (3/5) > Niners Worf (new) and White Rabbit (new)
I didn't want to add Trelane but at least he's Costumed.
Its looking like I'll be able to buy two more 10K pulls. Disappointingly I've spent 10M credits on 90k packs and haven't gotten any beholds yet. Got 5M more to spend.
For day 2, I was able to do 7 more 40K pulls. Picked up second stars on Age of Sail Riker, Merry Men Troi, and Niners Worf, who I picked up yesterday. Also, first stars on Bartender Tuvok, Away Team Number One, Warship EMA, and Boothby Replicant.
Now I have 27 citations to distribute...
Screenshots:
Went with second star for Riker.
Tuvok
Torn between going for Burnham for the EV Suit collection, but went with Number One for the gauntlet.
Went with second star on Troi.
Went with Warship EMA.
I was split between Zek and Boothby, but went with Boothby. I think Zek is a funny character, so hopefully I can get him later on.
Added a second star to Niners Worf, who I picked up yesterday as well.
Mirror Shukar (new) / Mirror Regent Worf (new) / Miranda Jones (new)
terrible ... but hey ... there are too many other citations required for actual decent Mirror crew that both Worf and Shukar would be bottom of the list ... Vulcan is all but done ... Klingon sure, but I have 6 Klingons I'd rather cite.
At least Shukar looks kinda cool ... but so does Miranda Jones ... ah well.
Day 2 of pulls; as eventful as the first day! Probably will have another day of a few Begolds, as I plan on buying some honor. But this finished off the 800K honor I’d collected.
Anyways, to the Begolds!
Begolds 1-5
Went with Torres.
This was a tough one. Janeway is an event monster but this is perhaps her weakest card. Decided to go with Irina.
Went with Cornwell.
Enterprise-E Picard, who is a surprisingly useful working during Picard faction events.
Another tough one. This would have been my third star for Trelane, but I’ve airlocked the two before him. C'est la vie. Decided Lt Crusher was best, as I’ve liked the card since I first saw it.
Begolds 6-10
Bashir, as I’m working on the 007 collection.
Slightly tough, as I would have liked to put an extra star on that Odo for the baseball collection. But decided to go with Sinister Picard (planning on citing him up).
The most controversial: I actually went with Vina here. I like the Orions and I like this one in particular. Didn’t want to go with Leucon, even though he’s a great voyager, because I look at most 1st stars now as projects (got too many of those as is). But criticize away!
Kinda wanted Ishara but went with the Invader.
I also forgot to get a shot of one: got a 2nd star on Saboteur Garak (can't remember who it was between).
Added bonus: Here’s what I did with my CR recharge and most of my cits after my Begolds:
CR - 5th star for Satin Dress Sloane, which completed my first vanity collection!
7 citations total to Tuxedo Nog and Data V to get the last 2 stars for Lucille Davenport! So kinda completed my second vanity collection (I don’t have Chef Riked).
Then a citation a piece to FF both Garak, Elim Garak and Niners Sisko!
Yesterday I used cits on crew not in the portal:
5th star to Adria Tal
5th star to Luau Paris
4 stars to Reunion Spock and Kirk
1 star to Red Angel
2 stars to Locutus
I cit’ed the Gauntlet crew so I never have to play the Gauntlet again. I don’t care if I could get stars for free; good riddance! Bartender Gunian will get the same. Annoyed I’ll never get Caretaker now, but whatever.
On the first one I was tempted to take Riker, because he's in collections and the art looks nice. I still opted for a second star on Nhan.
Which was a good choice, because these were the following ones:
I took McCoy, Sisko and Leucon.
The last two were less exciting, but still ok.
First star for Narek and second star for the Doctor.
I'm officially low on crew slots for the first time in years now
But I only have 330000 honor left, so this will be the last day with 6 beholds for me.
My Haul so far
Day 1
3x random 5* - Doctor Ann Muhall, War Correspondent Jake Sisko, Abraham Lincoln - All first stars guess i wont be doing anymore of these...
10k Begold - 23rd Century Martok - First star (the other 2 were first stars so just went with this)
40k Begold
Away Team Saru - 5th star (yay!)
Zhian'tara Odo - 4th star (yay!)
Captain Rachel Garrett - 2nd star (meh...)
Loken - 3rd star (yay)
Day 2
10k Begold - Crell Moset - First star (the other 2 were also first stars and I've wanted Moset for awhile)
40k Begold
Kai Opaka - 1st star (Boo the other 2 were also 1st stars)
Dancing Uhura - 4th star (yay!)
Imprinted Archer - 4th star (yay!)
Day 3
10k Begold - Frank Hollander - 5th star (yay!)
40k Begold
Navaar - 1st star (boo other choices were Displaced Burnham (**tsk tsk** and 1st star) and Dress Scotty (frozen)
Gladiator Spock - 3rd star (meh.. useful for this mega. Grand Nagus Rom 4th star and Chris Pike 2nd star the other choices)
Beowulf Kim - 3rd star (yay! getting closer to completing the collection. Other choices 1st star on Admiral Clancy and 2nd star on Navaar)
I'm officially low on crew slots for the first time in years now
This honour sale and the forthcoming Mega has forced me to start freezing 5*s.
I was already on the fence after accidentally freezing Degra a couple weeks ago and I booted out 5 more crew today. Now if only Voyages would stop being stingy and cough up some needed 4*s.
Apparently the game really wants me to immortalize Torchbearer Rejac. He has been the best pick in three diff beholds in the last two days.
And i just cant seem to get the last star for him so he can go to the freezer
1 good out of 20...for a dupe wrath kirk. the rest was for poor crew or airlocks
So far: Rura Commandant is now 4/5, Irina is 4/5, Nechayev is 4/5, Koloth is 3/5, Tux Nog is 3/5, Musk. Picard is 3/5, AoS Worf is 2/5, Mirror Kira is 2/5. My new crew are, Grilka, Twilight T'Pol, Soval, and Pining Vina.
Here are some of the BeGolds
Koloth. This was probably my hardest decision in today's beholds, especially passing on this Sulu variant that I've wanted since he arrived.
Elnor. I'm planning to cite Admiral Kirk soon anyway and for now this allows me to avoid FF'ing a card.
Data. Back-to-back Romulans (well, sort-of).
Kirk. One of my original favorite cards from early in the game.
Riker. Got his first star in the last honor sale, so this is apropos. Just 3 cites and Davenport is FF'd.
Georgiou. For the last time, Harry, I'm using Chef Riker to complete the collection. It will never be you.
Five. I always forget that I've got this guy until his traits hit an event.
Scrooge. As long as I'm FF'ing a card, it's going to be the one that gets more use.
La Forge. CMD Geordi needed a boost.
Dax. Never liked her character's role in the BR episodes (she's remarkably ineffectual considering her array of expertise), but I've always loved the card.
So far: Rura Commandant is now 4/5, Irina is 4/5, Nechayev is 4/5, Koloth is 3/5, Tux Nog is 3/5, Musk. Picard is 3/5, AoS Worf is 2/5, Mirror Kira is 2/5. My new crew are, Grilka, Twilight T'Pol, Soval, and Pining Vina.
Here are some of the BeGolds
I'd be curious to know your reasoning for choosing those new crew. Obviously everyone's criteria is different, but three out of those four seem wrong to me - Grilka is widely considered one of the worst golds in the game, Soval is a two skill that was chosen over a main cast crew with a good skill mix, and McCoy is a great Shuttle crew that will help in events.
First 40k pull of the day, I think it will be FOB, but I'm undecided (Mirror Kirk is cool,Musketeer Picard, also cool)
As someone that just improved Mirror Kirk in my own behold, I’ll just point out that FOB is the most useful of the choices. But if you’re picking as a fan, I won’t fault a choice of Kirk or Picard.

I did the same thing, improved a crew I love as a fan over picking a new crew with awesome but redundant skills/stats for my roster:
I chose Minuet over Fury Kes.

Red Riker, I wanted to freeze him to make space. He was my oldest 5* Crew.

Trip took the free crew slot from Admiral Riker
Gorkon because Klingon collection

I am focusing on the stat boosting collections during this honor sale, so while there may have been better choices gameplay wise, I want to make sure I have the crew necessary to hit all of the bonuses for all of the collections.
As far as events go, I usually don't push hard, and after getting my 2 best event finishes in the last 3 months, I'm feeling a bit fatigued event wise and didn't really factor them in this time.
For voyages, I can hit 10 hours consistently so they aren't a significant factor in my choices either.
I've used most of my citations so far as follows:
Reunion Spock/Kirk 1/5 to 5/5
Cheesecake 7 2/5 to 5/5
Kamin Picard 2/5 to 5/5
None of these are in the portal and one of my game goals is to immortalize all of the Picards.

Arrest that Begold!
I went with Founder as she's part of a collection and I want to freeze my 2 skillers
Went with Keiko, again to freeze my 2 skillers
Ridiculous, went with Torres
3rd star on La Forge
No brainer, Torres
Sisko
Kirk
I've been wanting Dehner for a long time, went with her
