I love that Tribble Spock is a 4* crew, and on a galaxy event. Exobiology, Vulcan, and Tribbled. It saves me a few legendary citations. He will be #40 immortalised Vulcan, and #10 Tribbled.
The existing Crew that have the Tribbled Trait and might be used? I did not realize I was unclear. Looking back at my post, it does say "Existing"......
What if I told you not every single nit needs to be picked literally to death?
Existing 4* Tribbled Crew left as "Possibles" for remaining Events:
1701 Bashir
Edward Larkin
Trader Odo
Mulder & Scully {Didn't have them, so missed them in the Vault} {Also, not in the Wiki?}
Four left for two Events.
I didn't notice until just now, but WRG uses the misspelling of Dulmer as Dulmur. [Canonically correct, but a mistake in the first place as it was supposed to be an anagram of Mulder, which obviously has one u and e instead of two u's.] But they're in the vault and on the Wiki as Agents Dulmur and Lucsly. I'm certainly hoping they turn up as the existing 4* at some point because I don't have them yet. Of the remainders on your list, I think it unlikely we'd get Edwin Larkin in the same mega as the new Underwear Larkin. Either Bashir or Odo would add quite a few additional crew to the bonus pool, which would be moot in the fourth week Skirmish but could be a big deal for a lot of players in the third week Faction Event.
Some of the event crew are usually unrelated to the traits. We could get any existing 4*. There is no reason to think they'll have tribbled or exobiology.
If you look at the STT Twitter stream (and apparently their FB page), they've put out just enough art of cards to cover all the featured crew for all of the Mega's events. So it's looking like it will be Trader Odo for the third event and Tribble Quark will be the recurring crew for the skirmish finale. Couple of assumptions with that but I think it's a solid guesstimation.

As someone who didn’t originally cite Tribble Quark but then cited him in anticipation for the mega, that wouldn’t be ideal if he were involved in that way……

The images show:
3 existing 4*
1 existing 5*
9 new crew
The 9 new crew are the 4 4*, 4 5*, and 1 recurring 5*.
The 3 existing 4* are for 3 of the events.
The interesting question is, will Tribble Quark be a 5* rank reward at the usual 4* rank reward level? Will he be in the story but not a reward? Will he be a threshold reward at 400k like replay events? If he isn't a rank reward replacing the 4*, who is the missing 4*?

Very good questions. I'm also curious how Quark will be fit in.

I didn't cite Tribble Quark, but my first thought when I read the mega post was "uh, are we heading into pitchfork territory?". I have since backed away from that possibility, since it would be far too predictable to realize that giving Tribble Quark away at 400K (or in any other way) would aggravate players that cited him so recently. I think it's 97% safe to say that he will feature in the story text. (Leaving myself a little wiggle room with that 3% though!)

Personally, I'm running under the assumption that you are right. If you are wrong, I will be annoyed but not angry. I figure a friendly request from CS will get an extra Quark converted to a citation, considering their assurance after Mirror Picard that mega cards are safe for a while. I expect that many here will go ballistic, but I save ballistic for truly worthless things like random ration drops in voyages.

I find it very frustrating that the game freezes at the start of every event. I am trying to log in and it won't start up. Events are literally the only gameplay left for me and it crashes week after week.
Edit: I apologize for the negativity, I try to stay positive on the boards, but I have been becoming increasingly frustrated that events are the only new content in the game. I think events need to be supplemental to the game play and experience, not the only new content and only thing to do it the game, leaving 3 days a week to be dailies and out.
More episodes and distress calls are desperately needed, and expanding existing ones with higher difficulty levels is long overdue.
Okay, moving on. Game is working again, time to get me a Sulu.

At some point it really feels like "Have you not figured it out YET?" This has happened at the start of so many Events I can't even remember when it started......

FYI: You misspelled Drone Seven.
But yeah, Dax is used a lot; but she had to make an appearance in this Mega.
She came to mind too! Haha

She lived in this time and it’s…it’s hard to not want to be a part of it again.
I've had her floundering at 1* since the last event she was in, so I'm happy to see her again and have a chance at the remaining 3*.
1701 Bashir
Edward Larkin
Trader Odo
Mulder & Scully {Didn't have them, so missed them in the Vault} {Also, not in the Wiki?}
Four left for two Events.
I am not sure what you mean by "possibles" for remaining events...
These are the remaining tribbled crew announced as part of this August "Tribble Quibbles" Mega-Event:
Tribble Sato (New)
Tribble Chekov (New)
Tribble Phlox (New)
Tribble Quark (Existing 5*)

I doubt we'll get the Temporal Agents that fast, although I certainly wouldn't complain.
There's also the Exobiology bonus trait, so we could get a few crew with that.
I didn't notice until just now, but WRG uses the misspelling of Dulmer as Dulmur. [Canonically correct, but a mistake in the first place as it was supposed to be an anagram of Mulder, which obviously has one u and e instead of two u's.] But they're in the vault and on the Wiki as Agents Dulmur and Lucsly.

Week after week after week..enough time to have figure it out and fix that issue!
Right?
Event start is freezing the game again......

I really hope he won't be in the recap packs. I won't pull any of them if I have one of the legendaries FF.
