I still have no legendary voyage cards. None. Despite running 12-14hr voyages for the last year plus. I am with Bylo, this is a pointless pain point and only creates ill will. Same with Gauntlet. This only makes me 🤬

I’d say it’s a pain generator except my habits haven’t changed. I run voyages for honor and 4*’s. I run them as efficiently as I can because that gets you more honor and more 4*s.
Once in awhile I get a 5*. Sitting on six totals drops so far (5/5 black, 1/5 Chakotay).
I do exactly the same, so count yourself a happy hippo one, because, as far as this moment goes, I got only ONE Chakotay. The drop rates are so abysmal, that I decided to cite him up. And now imagine, we still had only drops without a behold to choose from. Then the horse would be 100% dead-ridden by now. Instead of 99.9%.
Seriously, do 5* cards still drop from voyages? I operate multiple accounts sending 12 hour (or longer) voyages daily and I am not convinced I have gotten a single 5* card from a voyage in 2024.
If anybody from WRG still reads this forum, I want it on record that I absolutely **tsk tsk** HATE everything about voyage exclusive 5* cards. I am only one person but I have been patient as hell, I've put in the work, this is not fun. It is also pointless. It is a needless pain generator. "Hey guys, check out this new card added to the voyage exclusive pool, the 3.1% of you that get this card are really going to love it!"
Yes, they do still drop.
Not sure there's any advice I can give except, keep trying. It's all blind luck.
Just had a behold at 6 hours. Unfortunately Grady was not a part of it. It has Vori Defender Chakotay, Dr. Simon van Gelder and Admiral Black. Took Admiral Black, it would have been the second star for any of them.
It has been a long time with many longer voyages, and I have yet to find Hide-and-Seek Chakotay. Apparently he's still on a secret mission for Section 31.
Still no. I haven’t gotten a voyage behold since April when I chose Simon Van Gelder. Ever since I’ve been able to run 12 hour voyages without refreshing plus a couple that I extended to run around twice that time and still nada. The ones I do have were as a result of voyage beholds before 12 hours so maybe there’s still a chance ….
Still no. Just got my first behold since the spring, this time it was Black, Grady (have both) and Crusher (first copy). This one was at the 12 hour mark.
I've had FOUR Voyage Exclusive beholds in the last 4 weeks...
I cited Van Gelder when he dropped, thinking it would be an age before seeing him again, and since December 4th, I've completed the set - with only Van Gelder immortalised...
All between 12hrs and 8hrs.

Still a no. Not a one. I now have all the cards in the Portal. All of them. This is what my cards-by-year count, in my personal spreadsheet, looks like (red means not in Portal). Weep for me.

I have had one behold since starting voyages and took Admiral Black. Never had a crew drop before they went to beholds. In the same time I've duped 4 Gauntlet crew. Have had 9 Worfs drop since he was added. Not sure why the difficulty on these drops are so low percentage. Just seems stingy.
The only reasonable explanation is that the algorithms are not the same for each platform. They need to investigate why there is such a high disparity with the drop rates. Doesn’t seem like they care at all.

Sounds like an interesting theory. My first 2 voyage beholds came about a week apart then if I remember when Chapel and Grady were introduced I got them pretty soon after that. Then a long drought until I was able to get van Gelder, another long drought then Crusher. I’m playing on an iPad (iOS).
It’s pretty cruel for players who haven’t been able to get these cards when it seems like it’s raining down on other players.
If you go to a casino night after night and always spend all night betting on 00 on the roulette wheel eventually you will win some money and even have some really good nights. And you'll also have long droughts.
We're all sitting here with our own personal roulette wheels and comparing the results as though it means anything, but it's all just (pseudo)random. Human brains are primed to spot patterns and we do it even when there isn't one. Anecdotes aren't data and the sample sizes are way too low to draw conclusions with probabilities this low, even if the dataset wasn't full of biases (most people who are happy with an average drop rate aren't reporting).

With your luck you should go buy a lotto ticket!

Same goes for gauntlet, etc.
