Stats of new Picard are a huge letdown. And please dont come with he‘s decent for gauntlet. Only need a 1/5 for that. Hopefully such crappy 2017 stats crew
won t sell much packs, no matter if it’s Picard.
Really don t understand what‘s up with all these horrible stats 2016/2017
lately. It‘s a pattern. If this continues, i will stop spending. Couple of last months have just been a huge disappointment, many favorite new main cast crew with great art, but horrible stats. No fun. That‘s not the way to keep ur spenders!
Just as comparison, Braxton was released 2019(still a top voyager)with the same skill set.
1) Is there any particular timescale for adding the new Picard to the EV Suit collection? (IIRC because there's no "EV Suit" trait this has to be done manually?)
2) For both this event and the previous one (i.e. the one starting tomorrow), the lower threshold rewards include items that specifically belong to the 2* variant available in those rewards (e.g. Brainless Spock's Controller, Burnham's Desert Garb). Is this a change to the pattern of the rewards that will be continuing? (I know it's happened occasionally in the past but twice in a row with two items each is much more of a pattern than we've seen before.) For all but the very newest players, these items they will have crafted long ago while levelling the 2*s in question, so are just something that will sooner or later have to be cleared out of inventory. As such, I have to admit I see this as a negative change. The more generic items usually available at those reward levels are at least marginally helpful for building other crew as they appear.

It would be nice if the gear items were all for the new 4*. That is usually the one that is going to be more likely to need stuff we don't have, or don't have parts for.
I agree with @Zombie Squirrel post above, these stats are horrid. I saw the reward and thought sweet I’ll go for it, then look at the stats in game and though hm never mind.
More CC than RP, apparently. Still, it’s Picard, so some players (including me) will go for him. I won’t burn a crew slot for the new Burnham to get there, though. YMMV

That's a relief. I just froze mine!
Have Courier Burnham immortal and EV and First Officer Burnhams to build up. One of those should be a halfway decent surrogate.

FOB is best for CMD for people who don't have Captain Burnham, which seems fitting. And if my calculations are correct, Red Angel, despite her high proficiencies, has the best ENG for this event and second best SCI after Big Bonus Flotter.
Courier, Away Team and (4*) Tactical are all going to be strong on SEC. 4* Fugitive will be good for MED and DIP for people who don't have Flotter finished (and maybe even those who do, depending on how the traits and skills are distributed).
Really don t understand what‘s up with all these horrible stats 2016/2017
lately. It‘s a pattern.
I don´t understand it either. Usually stats in games go up over the years. Plus gamemodes where you need even more strength are implemented. To keep players motivated - and spending. This direction is puzzling indeed.
The first months of the game were so and especially wonderful. It was a fun mix of collecting characters for wanting (favs of the show) + needing. Because for all the various aspects of STT we needed power, power, power in many different ways. Now many veterans may want a card, but they don´t really need it anymore. And WRG has to find ways to create a need again.

They need to talk to the people from NutMarble. The company that does Marvel Future Fight. Shang Chi was like literally in the bottom 10% of characters in the game. With his new Movie Uniform, he is easily Top Tier now. And that is a just a Skin, with Stat changes. Newer characters make old characters, even maxed out, almost obsolete all the time. Most of those new characters are better, even at Tier One, than the old characters maxed to Tier Three. I used Shang Chi, Katy/AwkwardFina, and WenWu {all barely Tier Two} to beat several Tier Three teams on Auto in the PvP Mode this week.
You really don't introduce a new character that is well into the bottom half of the available Crew as a new Crew.....

Yes, exactly that. The game you mention is a great example. Also nearly every other mobile game does it like that or similar. Why WRG thinks releasing new crew with old stats is a great idea is a huge mystery to me.

It's almost like they are intentionally shooting their own game in the foot. But, that would be crazy.

Exactly. Like, I would love to have EV Suit Picard because it’s Picard and a cool variant, but I definitely don’t need him with those stats and he would just be taking up a crew slot and never getting used

We need 2* Sea Locust Swarm!!!!!
I knew I was going to forget something, correcting now.

This is the fourth Picard holding a rifle, along with Enterprise-E, Tommy Gun Dixon, and Gunshow Picard.
There are three with swords, Robin Hood, Age of Sail, and Musketeer, the last of which should have a gun.
As the song goes, "We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill."
It would be nice if the gear items were all for the new 4*. That is usually the one that is going to be more likely to need stuff we don't have, or don't have parts for.

Good luck if you are leveling up Flotter. He requires a million holoprograms.
That may be a conservative estimate.

Looks like.
To be fair, there are a lot of Michael Burnhams in game.

EDIT: I was wrong, bad CMD. Carry on.

Yes.
Uh, look right above your post.
