Of course it is, how could it not? So on to today:
Dashing into space, with a complement of crew,
Hoping to add lots more, but then I cry "boo hoo!"
See what I didn't know, was my ship was too small,
And without any more crew slots I'll never "catch 'em all"
Oh...we need slots! Please more slots! D.B., save the day!
Oh what fun, it is to keep the rewards from our play, hey!
We need slots! Please more slots! D.B., save the day!
One or two dozen should do, so our new crew can stay.
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a chance,
and open some portals-hoping-my-power to enhance.
But then the worst happened, and now I'm forced to choose.
I pulled twenty fantastic crew, and none of them could fuse!
Hey D.B., are you listening? The lack of crew slots is crippling!
Slots would be a sight, to make the game bright, so we can keep playing Star Trek Timelines.
'locked away, are the weak crew. Gotta keep, ones that are new.
We need a roster that's deep, for that power creep, so we can keep playing Star Trek Timelines.
Well for now we can put crew in stasis,
And pretend that they're still useful there.
But having active crew is like, the basis,
Of playing the game, far as I'm aware.
Lots of crew, we've acquired. But most of them are mired.
We're stuck, I'm afraid...but a fix can be made!
So we can keep playing Star Trek Timelines.
As we are sharing our Christmas wishes, I'd like to take the opportunity to, once again, ask for the return of coloured text to the game. It seemed to only be the text sizing that got other player's knickers in a twist and caused in-game issues. Being able to use different colours was never a problem right? Please consider returning this ability to the game so we can better personalise our accounts. It's an easy fix and brings joy, not only to the world, but to the Universe. If not for me or the brave men and women in TLA then for baby Jesus. It is his birthday after all and I hear he loves a bit of colour and diversity. 😁🎅🎅🌲🌲🎁🎁🎄🎄
jk crew slots and a way to sort the cryo chamber is really what I want.
But...I mean if they wanna throw in FF Tucker, well you would hear no complaints from moi.
Admiral of the Haus of GaghGagh, Starbase level 94, we are not accepting members at this time.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
Crew slots, oh they're so needed, ("needed")
Would be a very shiny prize, ("like a Behold")
And if we ever get them, ("get them")
There-will be many happy sighs.
All of the many players, ("players")
Many of them go unnamed ("like 'Captain'")
But if we don't have crew slots, ("crew slots")
Then we can't play this darn game!
Then, approaching Christmas Eve, D.B. came to say...
Magisse, with your songs so bright...take these slots, and go! All right?
Then all the players rejoiced, ("whoopee")
and they continued to play. ("tap tap")
And then we looked ahead,
to see what's the next holiday? ("Maybe Arbor Day?")
I can't quote him for some reason, but Hope_F: Please uninstall the game and move on. Not healthy.
**EDIT**
Based on a PM I've already gotten, I should elaborate:
I am fine with opinions, as we all have them.
I am fine with passion, I prefer to see someone with it regardless of their mission.
I am fine with suggestions and wishlists, I used to make 10k word posts about them.
I don't like seeing vitriol and negativity spewed all over the place.
I don't like seeing disdain for a voluntary product, event or character.
I don't like seeing people beat the horse dead, beat it more, follow it to the glue factory and then beat the glue.
If you are so passionately negative about the game, the staff, the company or the direction, here's a spoiler. You aren't the first, nor will you be the last. I will repeat to you the same unsolicited advice I've given to those same people in the past - uninstall and move on. You'll never be happier.
Tonight's the first night of Hanukkah , so I'm going to diverge from the usual crew slot songs, and channel a little Adam Sandler. (And this is the best I could do with internet searches, so apologies if I got one wrong, or left out your favorite.)
So if you feel like yours is the only ship in space, without a Christmas tree. Here's a list of Star Trek actors that are Jewish, just like you and me.....
Both Chekov's are Jewish, whether TOS or Kelvin,
Maybe Worf grew up with Passover, 'cause both Rozenkos hide the afikoman.
Mark Lenard appeared several times, including as Spock's dad, Sarek.
Also Romulan and Klingon commanders, but all of them kept the Sabbath.
Maybe you like Wesley, but don't buy to great extent,
Wil Weaton's only one-eighth Jewish, so he just gets one present.
William Shatner. The great captain lights the shamash.
Several Ferengi are Jewish. Like Quark, Nog, Rom, and Zek the Nagu'sh.
At Hanukkah, over the candles we say our prayer.
Brent Spiner's Jewish, so that's like four characters right there. Plus Lal!
And of course Leonard Nimoy, forever L.L.A.P.
Mirror Reed, isn't Jewish. But with that nose...well, maybe?
So many of them, lots and lots!
And we could keep them all...if we only had crew slots! (That's right.)
So lock in the transportah, it's time for Hanukkah! Phasers set to stun-ah, on this Trekkie, Trekkie, Hanukkah!
Fire-off some photon torped'ah! Go and have some fun on Risa!
If you really, really wann-akuh, go and play with your Star Trek Timelines on Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah everybody!
Back to Christmas songs. Hey DB, only 12 slotting days left!
Deck, the decks with many crew slots!
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
Oh, all these characters need lots!
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
"Costumed" crew in weird apparel,
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap
Klin-gons who do lots of battle.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
See, the conflagration 'fore us.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
Crew, extinct as Stegosaurus.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
Crew, slots would be a good measure,
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap
So, instead we'd keep our treasure.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
Fast, away the new splash screen loads.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
But, in game we can't make inroads.
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
We'd be joyous, to keep our crew
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap
Now, we can but bid them "adieu".
Tap tap tap tap tap...tap tap tap tap
Sorry, been neglecting my work. Here's a short one!
It's beginning to look like I will dismiss, every character.
I can make a one-pull, or ten. It's the same thing again.
What's the use of opening portals for?
It's beginning to look like I will dismiss, such a huge amount.
But the prettiest sight to me:
All the crew slots that will be,
dropped in my account.

Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing. ~ Data, ST:TNG "Haven"
I for one do not want crew slots as am happy with the 200 I have already (still 11 empty spaces there) but I understand why some do want more crew slots.
Personally I would like say 5 free beholds on Christmas Day
I'd like a repeat of the 4.99 packs they had last week, where you could buy them up to 3 times.
One day (eventually) I'd like a pet pack... Porthos and Spot mainly. Till then, gimme chronitons!
How does that work? I've seen people with pet avatars. Does it take a crew spot? Can they go on voyages or gauntlet? I suppose we've seen Porthos in the show acting as captain's counselor.

You get the unicorn dog as a prize for your one year playing anniversary.
Ummm, DB should know that if we had unlimited crew slots more packs would be bought..... But I don't think they see it that way??
Trista
If we had unlimited, it even just a large influx..
Say.. 50 I'd divert more towards buying packs and it would also sper more refreshing in Voyages for more chronitons to level them.
Instead they just try to get ya on all Angles
Buy the slots
Buy the crew to fill them with
Buy skill boosts to win them with
Buy more chronitons.
If the slots were cheaper (or more of them, free'er)
If there packs were cheaper (or.. We had a specials tab)

All you need to know about Disruptor Beam
And Frank, glad to see that you've ended your forum abstinence. Good to have you back around.
+1
Oh, the crew slot shortage is frightful,
Got some new crew, they're delightful,
But since they've no place to go,
Out the airlock, they will blow.
Oh the new crew just keep dropping,
Doors to their quarters are popping.
Oh how I love them so,
but out of the airlock they must go.
When we finally get crew slots, and can handle the crew release swarm,
We can happily earn new crew, and they can sleep tight in the dorm!
Oh the season's slowly dying,
but I will just keep trying.
Unlike Elsa I won't let it go,
or the crew quarters, we will outgrow.

"Have yourself, a couple dozen crew slots", would make my heart light.
Cause for now, we freeze crew where they're out of sight.
"Have yourself, a couple dozen crew slots", if D.B. would say,
From then on, our crew would not be locked away!
We get crew, nearly every day.
Then throw them away, how poor.
Awesome crew, very dear to us,
but then out the airlock door!
We would love, to keep the crew together, if D.B., allows.
Then we could fuse stars, and they'd be big cash cows!
So give us please, a couple dozen crew slots...now.
We'd be jolly, happy souls,
Crew slots in the pipe, everybody knows
would-be a better gift than coal!
D.B., you know man?
Pulls are getting slow, they say.
But the players know how to make them grow,
And a way to save the day.
There'd really be some magic, if some crew slots could be found.
And then we'd thank Disruptor Beam, yes excitement would abound!
With slots we'd have crew,
That's alive as they could be.
Having room for growth, would sure help the most,
and be great for you and me.
There's new crew released every week, it's making rosters pop.
And the events, just keep coming, even when we holler "Stop!"
For now we freeze crew,
and they're sadly locked away.
Slots stop the assault, no need for the vault,
and-they'll be back again someday!
Tappity tap tap, tappity tap tap, look at crew space grow.
Tappity tap tap, tappity tap tap, open those portals, go!
It's beginning to look like I will dismiss, every character.

That being said, I must also ask for as many Christmas crew slots as DB can muster!
*edited for typo
I would love slots AND say.. a couple beholds..
Say... 1 gold and 2 purple ?
Best of both worlds.
Don't want to be negative but there is no DB Santa. You shouldn't expect anything other than usual business.
Don't write that here! You might stop the fun songs. 😁
Actually there are many game companies that run either special deals or give some freebees away for Christmas.
And DB has periodically given 5 slots away during different events. So it's not that likely but also not unrealistic.
(I think the first 5 slot giveaway event was right around or right after Christmas, shortly before Convergence Day)
