Because this Mega-Event theme is so fun, I would like to earn all ranked-reward Legendaries (5*), but assuming I cannot (due to time/resources/etc.), I was wondering how everyone would rank them FF/FE (so far):
Tribble McCoy
Tribble Kirk
Tribble Uhura
Tribble Sulu
Tribble Sato/Chekov/Phlox (TBD)
Tribble Quark (?)
Tribble McCoy
Tribble Kirk
Tribble Uhura
Tribble Sulu
Tribble Sato/Chekov/Phlox (TBD)
Tribble Quark (?)

Thanks for your tips!
Of course, I would add that Uhura has the best art - just captures that moment wonderfully!
Indeed though I like the art on them all. Sometimes art is enough. Uhura is also very good. Guess comes to what you need and want and what is fun. There will also be the mega event wrap up packs with all the crew from the mega at a cheaper 390 dil.
Best artwork yet to come: Tribble Sato
My ranking is:
Kirk
Quark
McCoy
Uhura
Sulu
For starters, they are all main cast so they have event potential. Kirk gets more events, but the other four are close to equal, I think.
Kirk has that SCI skill, uncommon among Kirk variants. His ship ability is a pretty good bonus, particularly for newer players. (1 collection)
Quark is a Ferengi with DIP primary, so useful on voyages. The skill order is also kind of uncommon. (2 collections)
McCoy has an uncommon skill order. He's Homesteader Janeway with different traits and slightly stronger scores. (3 collections)
Uhura has a common skill combo, but that Communicator trait is tough for me on voyages. She's also pretty strong for an Uhura variant. (1 collection)
Sulu has the second most common skill combo. This variant isn't the strongest voyager, but he is probably the strongest Sulu in the game. (2 collections)
In terms of art, I think they're all good. That probably comes down to character preference in most cases. I probably favor Uhura. She's just adorable in that scene. Kirk, Sulu, McCoy, and Quark were all taken from their most memorable moments, though Kirk probably has a more memorable moment.
Edit: Forgot to account for collections. It doesn't really change my ranking, but it does kind of flatten things out. I don't think the power difference from one to the other is terribly significant.
The others are all very decent cards, but I'm not sure how to rank them other than on personal preference (art, character...). I'm sure that for those who FF them, they will all get the occasional voyage and event use.
by Voyages total stats (Unboosted):
Women found ways to the top of the patriarchy throughout the ages. A good number of women have been queens and Pharaohs through the ages. It's not always a matter of whether or not people will accept it, but whether they are willing to die to fight it.
We are not talking about a normal government. We are talking about one choosing to think of aliens as second class citizens or eliminate them completely.
Mirror Archer was liberal was more open to aliens then others.
If you go back to the TOS mirror episode I do not think it shows empowerment of women and the Enterprise episodes predate that in history.
Edit: I am also sidelining my own comment. Remember it's the ship they have in Enterprise that is making Sato the Empress do you really think Mayweather would sit back and let her be Empress when he could be Emporer. Sato did not sit back and let Archer be Emporer.

However, given the full context of her tribble scene, I think an argument could be made for a SCI primary. (I could also see an SCI or ENG primary for Code Breaker Sato, when infected by the Xindi neural parasite.)
A solid Legendary Sato for DIP voyages or gauntlets would also make such a character stand out.
And I agree with @WaldoMag that a high quality Sato SR would be welcome. (And I'm never going to say "no" to another legendary Phlox!)
Assuming a Legendary Sato or Phlox is added, I'll be pushing for a copy. I haven't tried placing under 1500 since Zyree, so I have plenty of resources to get two or three copies.

Code breaker Sato either from the Xindi parasite or "Observer Effect" with Gauntlet worthy Dip/Sec would be fantastic.
My new ranking is:
Kirk
Quark
McCoy
Sulu
Uhura
Chekov

Chekov has that same common skill combo. His stats are kind of bad. To make matters worse... (1 collection)
But I am still surprised we got two superrares for the timeline original collection.
I thought one Superrare and one legendary would be much more likely.
I still wish Tribble Sato would have higher stats. And, they also had the opportunity to give her MED as a main stat considering she is an original. Oh well still the unboosted DIP of 811 is better than the 716 for Mirror Empress.
@Veterinary Phlox sorry to get your hopes up. But I made the mistake of thinking only final events crew were left to be determined. I probably still would have thought Phlox would be the Legendary because of the two timeline originals being added.
If you can rank in all event types equally and have no preference when it comes to art/characters, then I would skip Chekov, now that we know his stats. None of these legendaries are amazingly useful, but he's the only one who's actually weak.
Do we know for sure anyone is being added to the originals collections? Which are the two you're saying are originals?
There were no Tribbles in the series Enterprise.
But it could have been a one minute Phlox assortment of animal scene. Would make sense that Phlox could have shown one to Sato. Kind of a cameo appearance for Tribble. I will try to find out if this happened.
First mention in history of Tribbles in Memory Alpha is for Enterprise The breach

Boy, this just shows how bad McCoy was with computers. He could not find Phlox's info for Tribbles 😉
This is why I hate prequels unless planned for before the original is made the history really gets destroyed. ENT (Borg)
Not that this will stop me from competing for him, or pulling wrap-up packs to try for an extra star or two on the 5 legendaries. My TOS heart is loving this mega.

Tribble Sulu is an Original, though what makes him interesting is that it's debatable just where he's from. He wasn't in "The Trouble With Tribbles" at all. He was, however, in the animated episode "More Tribbles, More Troubles". However, in that episode, he remained seated at his station the entire time and never even interacted with a single tribble, let alone stood up and carried an armload of 'em. So whether he's an Original for being retroactively put into a TOS episode or for being depicted doing something he never did in the TAS episode, the point stands that he is a brand new, non-canonical Sulu whipped up by WRG.
Incidentally, if he should be classified as being from "More Tribbles, More Troubles", that would make him the first TAS Original.
