Started some dupes throughout the Game, some Daily use, FANTASTIC. Unfortunately it's hard to know who will for your gameplay type be a good call, Insta regret, Frozen or The dreaded Perma Airlocked.
My regrets so far:- Assimilated Hawk, Adira (blanket) Tal, Reverend Phlox, Mirror Phlox, Governor Worf, Mirror Keyla Detmer, E V Suit Nhan, Prophet Sarah Sisko and Evolved Janeway.

I use my (De)evolved Janeway nearly daily on shuttles so much that I have a second in progress. I can see how the Phlox cards, while good in gauntlet, would be less useful as doubles.
Reverend Phlox is definitely on my regrets list, although the dupe came from a campaign, so I never set out to acquire a second Rev Phlox. He would be lovely for MED/CMD voyages except for two intertwined problems: MED/CMD cards are so weak in overall power relative to other combos that I stopped bothering with them many months ago. The recent Exobiology bonus events are the first time those Rev Phloxes have been active in years.
I don’t want duplicates, but I came perilously close to one with 4* Detective Dixon Hill. I had him immortalized & he was featured in the thresholds for a rerun (faction involved), and I wanted the ranked 5*. So, I speed-leveled him to 3/4 lvl 99, and he anchored another shuttle.
I didn’t blink twice before airlocking him after the event was finished. YMMV
As for the others, I probably wouldn't have kept a dupe of them. Especially Mirror Detmer, since she's a 2-skiller.
Did you already level them up? If not and if you already regret having them, the airlock is always an option. Maybe it's best to start with the least useful one, as soon as you have any crew slot issues.
Someone on these forums or on Discord once calculated that the trait match is worth about 100 combined skill and proficiency points. So even without a trait match Dexa should be better than anyone who isn't a top 20 voyager. And she has a rare skill set.
But on the other hand she's pretty useless for events. I have her at 1/5* and other cards keep moving ahead of her on my citation list.
High Roller Sisko - No regrets because I use both almost every day in shuttles.
Medic Jett Reno - No regrets because she's a very useful voyager.
Reverend Phlox - Starting to have a few regrets; getting closer to freezing at least one of them.
Gangster Kirk (3/5) - Got three copies during the last run of the Big Sting. He's just sitting there, taking up a crew slot (his FF'ed copy is frozen). Not sure what I'll do with him, as the likelihood of getting a begold where he's the good choice is slim; I have a backlog of potential CRs; and would I really pull a special pack in the hopes of getting him FF'ed?
Classic 🎶💯🎶😆
This is a fair point… she will definitely make med/dip voyages for me regardless; it’s more the fringe ones where she only has one of the gold/silver skills that she is likely to miss out (whereas I had been expecting to give her a more regular seat to bulk out tertiaries).
I am also using Bylo’s method for guaranteeing 10-hour voyages (which hasn’t failed me yet)… and that puts slightly more favour on getting as close to 2900 antimatter as you can.
If there ever is another faction event with detmer as bonus crew you'll at least be happy to have two immortal legendary versions of her
As for Adira, I would probably wait with citations, but keep the dupe. Unless they're already at 4/5* then a cite to 5/5* might be a good idea.
How many top voyagers do you have?
(The screenshot is from a very useful player resource that you can find in the "Bridge" section of the forums.)
Interesting, i use Dexa on like 8/10 voyages. But i only have a poor roster.
I'm curious who calculated this and how. My ballpark estimate is 200-300 points.
Professor Sato (2/5) - no regrets, just haven't gotten around to improving her (still useful even at 2* for events).
Reverend Phlox (3/5) - from the campaign, but this is bordering on regret since I rarely use his FF version anymore.
Species 8472 Invader (3/5) - original is frozen, and I kind-of regret this one today (never use anymore), but I finished 10th in this event (by far my best finish in the game at that point) and doing so earned the 6th star, so I keep it for sentimental reasons (later improved twice via beholds).
Mirror Jean-Luc Picard (4/5) - from the campaign (I returned the -gate copy of his card), my only regret is not having FF'd him yet.
Plus the gauntlet exclusives, none of whom I regret dup'ing because it requires no specific effort to do so (other than playing gauntlet); each has had many use-both-copies moments in the sun.
Red Angel (4/5) - likely will freeze for roster space.
Caretaker (FF) - dup is active but is a candidate for freezing for roster space.
Bartender Guinan (FF) - dup is frozen.
Armus (FF) - dup is frozen.
Locutus (FF) - dup active ('cause Picard gets enough faction events to justify it).
I honestly can't remember, but I know that I read it. When it comes to spreadsheets and calculations I tend to simply trust the players who invest their time into them. I know there might be mistakes, but I have no desire to try and do that stuff myself
Stranded Quark (3/5) who just keeps dropping ever since I FFed my original with citations. To all of those folks hoping for a SQ of your own, I'm so sorry RNG keeps sending them my way by mistake. FEed, but only sees use when I'm running a ton of overnight shuttles for faction events, and he's bonus crew.
Saboteur Garak (1/5) who I love - my original copy was the first time I got a ranked legendary, and the first legendary I FFed. This one languishes a level 1 doing nothing, but I have crew space to spare so I might as well. Maybe more will drop, or he'll be in a campaign. If I run out of crew space, he'll get airlocked.
Starport
My guess is there are enough assumptions and variability in both calculations, that they're within the margin of error of each other. Especially because there is a difference between 100 points in base and 100 points in proficiency and a difference between how much is on the primary vs secondary vs tertiary skill.
I have all of those listed except for Mok'bara Crusher. I am a keen voyager and am in the 11 hour plus club. Though cannot work out how to post pics but did list my best time in longest voyage thread
In that case a dupe of Adira won't be as useful to you as she would be to me
