2023 Timelines Resolutions

Inspired by the '22 topic of the same name, I have decided to lay out my 2023 Timelines Resolutions. These may seem tame to many of you as I have been away for a while, but hopefully these will be useful goals nonetheless.
1) Get to regular 12hr Voyages. I haven't even done one yet, but a lot of that is an unwillingness to keep an eye on a potentially failing voyage. This year I would like to get to the point where every voyage is going to 12hrs.
2) Get to 900 frozen crew. Only at 680 right now, so this may be a very long shot. Would be happy with 800 to be honest.
3) Do all of this without breaking the bank!

1. Complete a 12hr voyage for all 30 skill combos. I've done 9 so far.
2. Complete my TOS main cast immortalization goal from 2022. I have 8 cards remaining that need 22 stars.
3. Inspired by the TOS goal... Immortalize all in-portal DS9 main cast 5* cards. I have 21 cards remaining that need 63 stars. (Yikes.)
Like the TOS goal before it, the DS9 goal will be aspirational rather than attainable in its first year, but it will give me a strategic purpose for those times when things are less engaging.
1. Collect everyone from Far Beyond The Stars
Chances: High. I didn't get Willie Hawkins from his 6 pack, but the moment he enters the portal he's my first pull, and then I'll have everyone (so far).
2. Collect all the dogs
Chances: Unknown. I missed Camping Archer and Porthos both times they were available, but a portal update will fix that. The problem is Puppy Janeway. I didn't shell out the big bucks for her, and I have no idea when she'll finally be in the portal. I feel like it could be a while.
3. Get a 12 hour voyage
Chances: Low. I constantly sail past 10 hours, but 11 is still infrequent, and my personal best is 11:26. 12 hours feels like a stretch right now.
4. Immortalize 100 legendaries
Chances: Questionable. I'm sitting on 71 right now. Finishing one every other week seems tough, but doable.
5. Immortalize half the crew
Chances: Medium. I was surprised to see I'm up to 47% (618/1313) but it seems like such a hard climb.
6. Finish another Grand Slam
Chances: Medium. That's my name for it at least, when I can immortalize a character at all 5 rarity levels. I've done it with Spock, Picard, and oddly enough, Neelix. My best chance now is with Jadzia, with Riker and Odo other possibilities.
7. Send more interesting voyages
Chances: Guaranteed. One thing I like to do when I'm bored is send out theme voyages. I did my first single character one this year with 12 Picards, something I'd been wanting to do for a while. I also sent one with 12 non-humanoids, and one with 12 guest starring actors I know from other shows. I'd like to dream up a few more other fun ones to do.
Collection Objectives
*Maintain 100% on DS9-centric collections ("Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang," "Our Man Bashir," and "Play Ball!"). Hoping for a "Far Beyond the Stars" collection this year. For that, I still need:
-Julius Eaton
-Roy Ritterhouse
*Maintain 100% Ezri, Odo, Jadzia, and Kira
-Need the brand new Surrogate Kira and the upcoming Jadzia Shan started a thread about recently
*Immortalize all crew from Star Trek VI. Currently need to finish:
-Admiral Cartwright 3/5
-Chancellor Gorkon 2/5
-First Officer Chekov 1/5
-General Chang 4/5
-UFP President Ra-ghoratreii 1/5
How are you planning to achieve this?
Seventy percent of the crew immortal.
I'm sitting at 819 immortal, 62.04%, right now due to some fortuitous pulls and some citation use this week. I switched to finishing more golds than purples early in 2022, because I'm gaining on the super rares. I'm missing four and have sixteen needing stars. Only five of those are the Portal- two need one star, two need two stars, and one needs three (Hansens).
January- 5* x4 & 4* x1 for 819/1314 (62.33%) on Jan 4.
February- 5*
March-
April-
May-
June-
July-
August-
September-
October-
November-
December-
Ten crew for each skill over 1700 base.
Security is there at 1716 at tenth place. Science is my problem child. It's at 1631 and only four of the ten top my next lowest. I will need to combine Retrieval, new crew, and buffs to get this one, but I did it with Med.
Have an immortal gold of each series regular for events.
I got my mains, now I want to round out the main cast. it's a short list in most cases:
TOS- Scotty, Sulu, Chekhov (I know I'll finish a Scotty soon)
TAS- M'Ress and Arex
TNG- Yar and Wesley
DS9- O'Brien, Bashir, Ezri, and Odo (the current campaign will give me Odo).
VOY- So stubborn- Chakotay, Torres, Tuvok, Kes, Neelix, and Kim (Human Torres needs two stars. It have a Chakotay, Fury Kes, and several more of Torres FE)
ENT- Reed!!!
DSC- Lorca, Airiam, Detmer, Tyler, and Nhan (I need to check the cast list for the series to figure out it I'm missing someone and I'm close on Mirror Detmer- 2*s.
PIC- Raffi and Mutation
Lower Decks and SNW have pretty big lists yet, but I have good chances of getting them this year. I made great, great progress shortening the list in 2022 and made a fantastic start in 2023.
January- I knocked Stamets and Narek off.
Get another crew from Gauntlet.
I got two last year, so one is likely. I won't get greedy and expect two.
Regularly place in the Top 1500 and get my Top 250 achievement.
Went 22 in 52 last year. Almost half. I'm aiming for 30/52 and my achievement
January-
Get all the Voyage combos over ten and a half hours.
Slow progess, but I should get an antimatter boost from my Bridge this month.
Played since January 20, 2019
Captain Level- 99 (May 9, 2022)
VIP 14
Crew Quarters: 470/470 +2
Most recent/Lowest- The Professor (1/5* Lvl 1) 5/24/22
Immortalized x-707 5* x106, 4* x421, 3* x91, 2* x57, and 1* x27
Most recent Immortal - Badgey 3* 5/10/22
Current non-event project- Improving my Medical base skill and freeing slots by immortalizing my FF SCI crew and freezing the unhelpful. Currently have ONE- Temporal Agents! Engineering will be next.
1 - Get Frantic McCoy from Fleet Boss Battles
2 - Get 12-Hour Voyages regularly. Let's say twelve 12-Hours - one a month.
3 - Win a Gauntlet Round.
4 - Get Steeler Nation Fleet Starbase to Level 120 (active donors welcome!)
5 - Finish Greens and Blues on Nightmare Alt
6 - Balance game screen time with physical activity once I recover from Covid.
Similar to last year's with a few changes due to successful completion of 2022 resolutions.
80 YEARS?! good googaley-moogaley! I have 3.5 years, but I changed the Honor required to 10,000 instead of 50,000 because I wait for honor sales, although I get a deficit of 4 stars when I get a new peep instead of staring a peep, at least I'm not looking at 80 YEARS, only 16 (when I changed it back to 50k)!!! YMMV LL&P
I'm going to immortalise all super-rare rank event crew the week I get them, rather than leaving them at 3/4 for a year.
I also plan on finishing my (current) voyage crew.
Portal is not shrinking, so I will do the same for events in which I participate. 🖖
