    Something besides the "normal" BeGold Pack? I'm still working on some of the ones in that, but I like the idea of a change.

    I mean, just rename the Mission: Chicago pack and you've got a First Contact Day pack! :smile:

    No usual behold this time? Darn, I needed one more star on that Cochrane. :/

    Indeed and I hope we'll get some footage of the new feature in the upcoming days. 🤞

    Advertising a pack in advance and then making it a generic chron, supply kit, revival token pack?

    Talk about setting yourself up for failure. If that's all you're going to do, don't advertise it. The pack is nearly worthless. But if it's unexpected it's a, "hey free stuff cool" reaction. Once you advertise it, especially after giving away a 5* behold previously, players expect that. And now "free stuff" turns into dashed expectations and upset players.

    The sad thing is that in 2022, this apparently is special. In 2020, this happened every other Tuesday. It’s a nice pack, but a disappointment.

    Perhaps "something else" from @Shan 's message reffers to new crew pack instead of usual one. I am still waiting for a surprise which is not related to chrons, voyage token pack that we received earlier today.

    I'm going to start a torch shop on the forum. I feel I'm going to get rich.

    I love all the stuff! Great job.

    So no free 5* as in previous years, just an announcement for another monthly objective event that we’ve been getting every month lately?

    Can I buy IPO shares in that torch shop?

    You get a free 4/5 crew just for playing the game.

    And it's a green blooded Vulcan to add to the collection.

    We have been getting a 4/5 crew every month since objective events were introduced, so that has nothing to do with First Contact Day celebrations, aside from the theme. My point is that this year we are getting less on the day itself than has been the custom for several years, unless there is more to come.

    More than what? Not previous First Contact Days or previous month-long objective events…

    No, there has been no promise of monthly objective events, and I don't believe we had one in February.

    We are getting more free 5* then before the objective events were introduced.
    Look up the word appreciation.

    Not previous First Contact Days? Check again please:

    2022:
    1 Free 5*
    5 crew slots
    3 Additional copy's with easy events

    2021:
    1 Free 5*
    Extra scans

    2020:
    1 Free 5*
    A Diplomatic pack (some free stuff)

    2019:
    1 Free 5*

    2018:
    2063 Merits

    Edit: Sorry Shan.

    You are combining First Contact Day celebrations and objective events, which are mutually exclusive. A monthly OE was expected for May regardless of FCD, so the rewards for each should be considered separately. We aren’t getting a free 5* for FCD for the first time in the last 4 years. It’s not like we’re getting a free 5th copy of the OE featured 5* crew, which would be an incremental gift.

    2021 FCD - 1/5 crew
    March 2022 OE - 4/5 crew

    2022 FCD - no crew
    April 2022 OE - 4/5 crew

    Please keep the snark to yourself.

    Solkar has nothing to do with FCD?
    - a free giveaway pack of the iconic Solkar, the Vulcan who made First Contact on Earth with Zefram Cochrane.

    Even if you remove the additional 3 copies.
    5 free crew slots are much better then the years before.

    Also, it's the last 3 years not 4.
    You wanted Zefram Cochrane but they decided to give something else which you dislike. Totally fine.
    But they are giving a free 5* for FCD.
