McCoy offered Spock a "snort" of his Tennessee whiskey, which he used in the dinner Kirk called "bourbon and beans." Clearly, there are some corruptions of bourbon in the next two hundred years. As a Kentuckian, I can only say that I am dismayed. Woefully dismayed.
@Steph loves Voyager@Prime Lorca [10FH] Grey is a popular color for military uniforms. The US Navy even had a short-lived grey uniform during WWII. I have two pair of Med. Dept. Shoulder boards in my militaria collection in the grey scheme.
Starfleet has used grey before. Wesley's cadet uniform was grey. DS9 and 3 TNG movies used the grey shoulder uniform. There was a grey TMP uniform. Disco has just pulled it out again.
@DScottHewitt I agree. That doesn't look too much like a julep. I'm a horse racing fan less than two hours from Churchill Downs and some of my ancestors came from Bourbon County, Kentucky. I even collect Derby glasses, though I don't drink. (Other than taking wine occasionally at communion. Sometimes, they are out of grape juice when they get to me in the back A/V table.)
Well aged bourbon would give it a nice pale amber color with a tinge of green if a lot of mint was chopped up in it. Those don't look like mint leaves or stem either. That looks like a celery stalk to me. It has a wide stem and fine leaves. Mint is wider with a fine stem. Plus, where is the ice?
I went digging. When McCoy makes his julep in "This Side of Paradise", he makes a "Georgia-style" julep. That calls for, sacrilege, cognac or peach brandy in place of the bourbon. It would make it darker, but not orange. Is this from that episode? Because it looked lighter and had lemon in it there. I'll have to rewatch if someone doesn't beat me to it.
I was born in Lexington and have lived in the Commonwealth the vast majority of my life, so I scrunched my face in displeasure the moment I saw that glass. 😀
Out of curiosity, though, I did an interwebs search and they got the original prop exactly right!

Shan is the base stats of skill 2 correct? Think it‘s a first for an legendary that bases of skill 1 and 2 are almost 500 points apart.
Another unusual thing for the 1/5 stats, Skill 2 and Skill 3 are almost even.
Maybe another indicator that base of Skill 2 is too low by accident?
I asked about this and the stats are as intended.
Shame, as much as I love Burnham I will not be buying packs for anyone with voyage rank above 100 at release. Nor will I be buying Tuesday pack for a voyage rank 234 Data.
Are we sure this isn’t Moscow Mule McCoy, given all the 3* polyalloy that’s in his equipment build, particularly his drink? Honestly, I’m a little worried about the heavy metal count in his bloodstream. What was that, 50 3* polyalloy?
I must say I found it quite amusing how Bones needed the Mint Julep every single level up from 10-100!! I enjoy Easter Eggs and fun things while leveling up crew

Kirk and Spock is good. I find Gladiator Spock fills my needs more. Usually Torpedo McCoy gets on shuttles, but so does EV Suit Spock. But I have a lot of Spocks. If I were doing more than threshold this event, I would probably do well. Instead, I am just doing the first four missions that pop up.

I got a kick about all the alcohol that is needed. I think what you are saying is each 2* Mint julep needed 3 1*polyalloy. Besides the alcohol.
Edit: okay I am wrong. I just did not notice that the 3* mint julep needed 4 3* Poly alloy. Gosh nothing seems to match my memory on the build for Mint julep. The 2* mint julep needs 2 1* Synthesized Polymer. But, I got the fact, they needed a lot of alcohol, right 😉 I must have drunk one of these 5* Mint Julep, or let me rephrase that as sipped or even just smelled it😉
Grrr. Another worthless behold from threshold. No motivation for next event, TP. No motivation to spend any money either (maybe this is a good thing?)
Probably a good thing. I stopped spending (though I may occasionally get the campaign if it is someone I really want) and I don't regret it at all.
However, a fully fused 4* behold is exceptionally common once you reach a certain stage. I am pleased if I get a useful 4* once in four times. It is usually less.

Yup, I try to tell myself it's 200 honour, and sometimes I'm lucky to get more.

At this point, I would rather just convert the merits to honor & hope for luck. I know the math is bad, but so is the game for me right now. YMMV

That's to discourage the Picard Maneuver.

Memory alpha says it was Georgia style.
I guess that is with brandy and peach brandy. That would explain the color.

Too bad. 😣☹️ Thank you anyway. 👍🏻

Having 2 copies of Gladiator Spock is working out nicely.

I just got what is probably my worst ever 350K pull.
Not that I expect better, but this was particularly bad. Oh, well. You only live twice, after all.
