    I love the idea of Archer mega.. I don't think he gets enough love in this game... and my other question... Where is Admiral Black????

    I'd like a "Warship" Mega, involving alternate versions of crew from miliaristic Timelines like "Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Living Witness", fleshing out the existing "Warship" crew already in game.
    That's very cool!

    The Yesterday's Enterprise crew generally wouldn't be visually distinct, but I could see giving their expressions a harder edge.

    "Alternate Future" in general has a lot of potential.

    The belt/phaser holster for Yesterday's Enterprise crew would be visually distinctive enough.

    The YE uniforms had the fancy belts, higher collars and different cuffs on the sleeves. I can think of several iconic poses and quotes for them in the game. You know Picard's would be "Let's make sure history never forgets the name... Enterprise" and would have a great ship ability.

    I want to see Picard jumping over the console to control tactical himself.

    Love this idea, but can we throw in a Timelines Original-ish Warship Transporter Chief Torres? She got name dropped, but wasn't in the episode because Dawson gave birth. I've always wanted to see what the Kyrrians would do with the Klingon makeup (heck, just reuse Klingon Torres' face, I ain't picky).
    Now I'm definitely sold - although maybe go all in and have her look more like Fek'lhr or Protomorphosis Worf :)

    Can't log in with my regular account so using this back up.
    There's always been a lot of gambling in Trek and I think it could make a fun Mega. There's a 'gambler' trait already and there's many episodes and events/locations that could be visited:
    TOS: The Corbomite Maneuvre
    The Gamesters of Triskelion
    TNG: The *many* poker games
    Episode:The Royale
    DS9: The Tongo Wheel in Quarks
    And Episode: Rivals
    VOY: little more tenuous but perhaps the ships pool regarding when B'Elanna's baby would be born in Endgame
    Also the episode Tsunkatse
    Disco: the recent episode All In

    As a recurring, there's obvious choices like Riker, Kirk, Jadzia Dad etc. I suggest someone different: Nog, specifically from 'It's Only a Paper Moon' when Nog lives in the Vic holosuite programme and helps Vic plan casino expansion. Nog could travel around looking for players/games for example.
    Vic would also fit the bill but I would love a mega featuring Nog as the recurring; he had such a brilliant character arc and Aron is so dearly missed by the Trek community.

    I still can't figure out how Hoshi Sato doesn't have the "Gambler" trait. She got kicked out of officers' training for running a poker game for Pete's sake.

    Because it was a throwaway line and no one at WRG actually watched the show. They can't even get the basics right most days.

    That is background on something she did, but was not something demonstrated throughout the show. She doesn't deserve it in general, though perhaps a specific variant could have it.

    Indeed.

    Some wonderful ideas in here. For the future mega suggestions Im especially fond of “workforce”, “Author,Author”, and the mixed TNG and Voy warship additions. Also Rogue Chakotay. Alternate Artwork for Archer as pictured with beard, or in the standard shirt, was a great visual, and the Rura Penthe Archer was a great suggestion. 🖖🏻

    I'd like a "Warship" Mega, involving alternate versions of crew from militaristic Timelines like "Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Living Witness", fleshing out the existing "Warship" crew already in game.

    - Warship Guinan 5* (Mega Crew, DIP/MED/SEC)

    A Faction Event
    - Warship Picard 5* (CMD/SEC/DIP)
    - Warship Riker 4* (CMD/SEC/DIP)
    - Kurak 4* (Existing), (SCI/ENG/DIP) (played by Tricia O'Neil [a.k.a. Capt. Garrett], representing Klingons, hardly the biggest stretch ever heard of in this game)

    A Skirmish introducing the Enterprise 1701-C into the game (1701-C 5*, 1701-D 4*, Klingon K'Tinga 3* (no 3* BOP)
    - Captain Castillo 5* (CMD/SEC/DIP, taking command of 1701-C after Captain Garret died)
    - Warship Data 4* (SCI/ENG/CMD)
    - Warship Yar 4* (Existing) (SEC/CMD)

    A Galaxy Event
    - Warship La Forge 5* (ENG/SCI/SEC)
    - Warship Wesley 4* (CMD/SCI/ENG)
    - Warship Janeway 4* (Existing) (CMD/SEC/SCI)

    A Galaxy/Skirmish Hybrid with 5* Warship Voyager, 4* Borg Sphere 878, 3* Intrepid Class)
    - Warship Drone Seven of Nine 5* (SEC/SCI/ENG)
    - Warship Neelix 4* (SEC/DIP/MED)
    - Warship Chakotay 4* (Existing) (SEC/CMD)

    I'd quite like one of the antagonists/reward crew to be Kieran MacDuff from TNG:Conundrum.

    As this is also a teasing corner, I am going to tease that a new ship is likely to make its apparition in the coming weeks.

    A long requested ship, TOS era ..

    So we're either getting the Romulan Bird of Prey, as @robownage said; OR, given the new splash screen, we're finally getting a 5* Galaxy-class ship. I'm happy with either option.

    If it is a Galaxy-class ship, I hope it's All Good Things future-Enterprise. Though I could very much live with a straight-up D; or the Odyssey from DS9 (RIP!); or even the USS Yamato (nothing to do with my fleet, I assure you :D ).

    Shan said it's a TOS era ship. That rules out Galaxy class. It's going to be the Romulan Bird of Prey unless there is another TOS era ship we've all been requesting.

    I really need to work on my reading comprehension there... :)

    @Shan, thank you for starting this thread for player input! There are so many amazing, creative suggestions and ideas here. I really want to underscore @AviTrek's post that all new mega event crew should have the themed trait. That should be a must. Here are some thoughts/comments based on what I've read, in no particular order:
    • LOVE the idea of a recurring Archer within a Xindi-themed mega. Enterprise isn't my favorite series, but the Xindi arc was the best part of the show (IMO).
    • Would love to see a Legendary Shran with competitive stats.
    • Would also love a Legendary Tucker card with competitive stats.
    • More dress uniform cards would be fun! Cool event theme, and/or collection.
    • Probably an unpopular opinion, but I can't wait for Lower Decks crew and would LOVE to see a themed mega.

    Since you teased a new ship, is there any chance or hope that the replicator could be expanded to upgrade ships as well as create items? It's really annoying getting a new ship to level 2-3 when it's introduced, then waiting a year or more for schematics to show up in the loot table. For that matter, why not just put ships in the loot table right away? Some of the ships that have been added recently are really cool, but the same three (older) ships still dominate in arena. The hull bonus during events is no big deal, because any FF legendary ship with a decent bridge crew is all you need. The trait bonus antimatter is nice to have in Voyages, but you can get to 10 hours without it if you know how to pick crew. I didn't mean to go on a rant, sorry. It's cool to have ships added to the game, but I've never understood why it should take so long to max new ships when there are only a handful that matter in game play, and those are rarely out-gunned by anything new. I hope it's the TOS Bird of Prey, in any case!

    I agree with pretty much all of this. If you don't want let us replicate schematics, could you at least update the schematics table for Dabo? We can get crew from it weeks before they are available any other way, but we can't get schematics from it that have been in the portal for years? I get schematics regularly, but none have been useful in quite a while.

    How about Nurse Denher to compliment Chaplain Odo? Sally Kellerman just passed and she was Nurse Houlihan in the movie along side Rene as Mulcahy.

    She was O'Houlihan in the movie. Captain Walter Koskiusko "Painless Pole" Waldowski, the camp dentist in the movie, was played by John Schuck who has been several Trek characters. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/John_Schuck
