I'm an Aries. I'm afraid patience isn't my strong suite or in my closet at all really.

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.
What if I told you not every single nit needs to be picked literally to death?
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.
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.

We are getting more then before and still you are not happy? Tomorrow you get your free 5*,Let's not ~Shan

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

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

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.

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.

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

I love all the stuff! Great job.
