I still fail to see the the reason, why the hologram is called „Human Neelix“?
It‘s not Neelix at all, it‘s only the same actor. I assume it count‘s as Neelix variant as well?
By that logic can we please rename „First Cadet Locarno“ to „Locarno Paris“?
At least there‘s some context that it’s actually the same Star Trek character.
Interesting. So not an existing SR for this event. Given how big the bonus crew pool is, that shouldn't be too bad for most rosters. Will Human Neelix be added to the Dixon Hill Collection?
I kind of like this two new SR thing. I wouldn't want to do it every week, but it's a fun little change. Hope the devs add the Human trait to Human Neelix. They've got a week to do it, so I'm not terribly concerned. Android Mudd is a great addition.
I've got Decoy Kira immortalized, so I'm not sure if I want a duplicate or not. I've got time to decide.

I agree the Human Neelix thing is weird, but I don't think they can establish that Paris and Locarno are the same character without messing up the credits/royalties for all of Voyager.

That's actually been bugging me. They keep re-running (or flashbacking) events multiple times. I want re-runs of more recent events instead of these same few, over and over again.
Human Neelix works. The actor who plays Neelix was only in First Contact because Voyager was currently running. The actor who played Paris was Locarno years before.
I like the android Mudd but I wish he had costumed since Thelev was going to.

As if the average First Contact viewer knew at an instance:
„Oh it‘s Neelix, lets give Voyager a try....“.
I watched Voyager when First Contact came out and still missed it, that it‘s the Neelix actor from the 5 seconds of his screentime. 😆
And the established backstory of Paris in Voyager,
is almost 1:1 the story of Locarno.
11 year old me was perfectly clear on it being Ethan Phillips. But 11 year old me also knew it wasn't the same character. I don't mind using that artwork, but the flavor text and traits don't point to it being Neelix at all.

He's got some of the main Neelix traits: civilian and resourceful. I suppose they could throw in chef and/or ambassador. It's hard to justify communicator with that brief appearance.
Will Human Neelix be added to the Timelines Originals collection since they are retconning the character to actually be Neelix (which he wasn’t in the movie).

Too bad they can't hire eleven year old you for quality control......
What if I told you not every single nit needs to be picked literally to death?
I’m not upset by Human Neelix. It would make sense to me to call him a Timelines’ Original as the character’s genesis is rather like that of Army Chaplain Odo, only using artwork from another Trek appearance by the actor instead of an entirely different IP.
Android Mudd maybe seemed more like a 1-3* crew to me but I’ll take it - that one was probably my most favorite Short Trek of them all.
It is a bummer to be losing an Andorian, even if he was an impostor pretending to be one. But there is a way to make up for this: add one or two other Andorians. The helmsman from the I.S.S. Avenger would be a good one, as would Ambassador Thoris, that unnamed general that Shran reported to when he stole the Xindi prototype thing from Enterprise, or - better yet - Captain Telev from the incident at Weytahn.
I could be talked into only one or even nine of those Andorians if we got Prison Break Talas.
Human Neelix is indeed missing the "human" trait, and should be in "The Big Goodbye" Collection as well. This will be reflected after next week's server release.
I like the android Mudd but I wish he had costumed since Thelev was going to.
This. I’m extremely disappointed at the lack of costumed crew for the “Costumed” mega, especially because of the collection.
Here’s a summary of all the crew:
Not costumed - 7
Dexa
Barry Waddle
Amal Chakotay
Klingon Torres
Jodmos
Human Neelix
Android Mudd
Costumed - 6
Mintikan Troi
Human Saru
Bajoran Culber
Xehan Adira
Trill Burnham
Klingon West
Now, just for comparison’s sake, let’s use the Borg Mega as an example
Borg - 9
Borg Queen
Assimilated Torres
Drone Seven of Nine
One
Assimilated Tuvok
Assimilated La Forge
Icheb
Assimilated Janeway
Riley Frazier
Not Borg - 4
Mirror Phlox
Dr. Tolian Soran
Arik Soong
Admiral Picard
So anyways, I think i’ve gotten my point across 🖖
This has been a recurring issue for a while. Let's look at the previous Scoundrel Mega
Scoundrel - 2:
Lothario Q
Q Junior
Not Scoundrel - 11:
Caldos IV Crusher
Taresian Kim
Off Duty Janice Rand
Bridal Deanna Troi
Groom Worf
Bride Kasidy Danielle Yates
Soren
Festive Lwaxana Troi
Salia
Wyatt Miller
Deral
For fun, lets look at the romantic crew from that mega
Romantic - 10:
Lothario Q
Caldos IV Crusher
Taresian Kim
Bridal Deanna Troi
Groom Worf
Bride Kasidy Danielle Yates
Soren
Festive Lwaxana Troi
Salia
Wyatt Miller
Are we sure that wasn't a romantic mega?
It seems like the theme for the mega and the crew selected are totally unconnected to the bonus trait given to the mega.
I really wish the two were connected. I'd even prefer a smaller set of bonus crew up front, so that each week we were adding more bonus crew to use in future weeks. Right now the crew we earn in any given week are effectively done as soon as their event bonus ends.
Calling that nameless holo-character from First Contact Human Neelix is ridiculous. That character had nothing to do with Neelix, aside from the actor.
Should all Weyouns become variants of Shran, and vice-versa (let alone all the other characters Jeffrey Combs played)?
Should Thrax, Annorax and all of Kurtwood Smith's characters become variants of each other? Should Thrax's name be changed to Cardassian Annorax?

That's actually been bugging me. They keep re-running (or flashbacking) events multiple times. I want re-runs of more recent events instead of these same few, over and over again.
While I agree that it's disappointing when some events never get a rerun or flashback, I like the fact that they sometimes rerun the same event twice.
My Kira will be at 3/5* if I rank in the top 1500 next week, which means that I might FF her through beholds, crew retrieval or cites eventually. She would have never been a citation candidate for me otherwise. Repeated reruns or flashbacks of the same event allow me to get some use out of the many 1/5* legendaries that accumulate in my crew by fusing up some of them.
I agree Human Neelix is wrong, it is like having a "Human Dr. Farek."
Why not "Nightclub maître’ d"
Android Mudd is excellent, but the question is which one have we got, is it the real one or a copy?
If we are having two new super-rares in an event, then it would have made more sense to have them at the beginning of the mega, so that they could be used in later faction events, if they have the relevant trait. When I get Android Mudd, then he is likely to stay at level one for a long time.

Alas. Glad we found out why, at least. I wonder how often this happens.
And it's looking like Dirty Rotten Holograms 3 is coming up.

This was addressed specifically in the event announcement.
Relatedly, will Klingon West be an Odo variant?
In the event announcement, Shan indicated that it was a rights issue.
