Barry Waddle, Human Saru, and Dexa are all top 25 voyagers. Waddle and Dexa have good skill combos. I'll be pulling recap packs. Even if the other legendaries stink, this is still the best pool for recaps since our TOS mega event in 2019.
Also, the “extra” (non-community) 4* does improve the odds (+11.25%) of getting someone useful from these particular upcoming mega recap packs. I am still on the fence, though, and I won’t come down off of it until I see the ranked 5* for Week 3. YMMV
Have you come down off that fence yet, @~peregrine~ ? On which side did you land?
(I'm still happy on the side I chose originally. )
Yeah, I finally made a decision ...
I will pull recaps for the 4th stars on the 3 purples. Any gold stars will be a welcome bonus.
Lately, though, I have been considering using dilithium exclusively for crew slots during sales. With so many non-FF 5*s crowding my crew quarters now, and being loath to dismiss any of them, I am finding it harder to play the game the way I like to.
As always, YMMV.
I hear you. With all these collections you can’t just airlock worthless crew.
So, I pulled 11 of the 390’s & got the 3 stars I needed for the purples (SR). I did not get additional stars for any of the golds, but that’s about in line with my expectations of a 10% chance.
11 x 390 = 4290 dil. I froze all three SR’s, so that works out to 1430 dil/slot. In the future, I will pass on recaps in favor of slot sales, as 1500 dil for 5 slots is a better investment for me & I am (or can learn to be) patient.
Thank you to @Prime Lorca [10FH] and @DavideBooks for helping me to clarify my thinking about the best strategy for resources management given my crew roster going forward. I appreciate your insights. 🖖
I was super excited for this and saved dilithium for 40 pulls. I do not recommend recaps unless you can do 20+ pulls. I posted my results in the Timelines Talks thread. I had a pretty good haul and immortalized Human Saru. Ya win some and ya lose some. I won this round.
👏👏👏
I saved enough dilithium for 60 crew slots during the next sale (hopefully, soon™️), so I am content to go back to my perch:

We haven't had recap packs this good since 2019. Get comfy up there. It might be a while before you come back down.

15 regular Portal pulls in between the Mega Recaps netted me another 10 golds!
This was a good recaps/Portal week, and I still have dils leftover somehow!
1 Klingon Torres (frozen)
And 3 bajoran Culbers (frozen).
I also had a couple of all-frozen beholds.
Not as impressed as I could be!
