About 10 pulls so far, the vast majorly have been 3*. I’m going to bet the 5 stars have around a 1% drop rate like premium portals, so i agree it is just a way to convert 700 merits into about 300 honor.
Ok when I’m overflowing with merits, but far from being a real game-changer since exchanging 300 honor for citations is barely a drop in the bucket. But it’s something new that doesn’t cost us any real money, so I won’t complain.
I did a few of these. Mostly nothing to write home about. I did get a 4* Seska (who is already frozen) and a 4* Cyrus Redblock who I am still deciding on whether or not to keep.
I didn't keep precise numbers (sorry) but once I saw that 5* crew were obtainable, and since I had a crapton of merits, I decided to give it a whirl. I spend probably 15-20k merits (I have plenty left) and I ended up with a Temporal Agent Seven, a Disguised Tuvok, a new Ushaan Archer, and a 4th star for my Arachnia. As Arachnia was my first ever 5*, pulled from my first ever event pull, I was very happy with my results. And the honor I ended up with might just push me to put a 5th star on her yet tonight.
Been trying to immortal 1701 Sisko for 8 months...finally just used honor to get it done. The same day I got him with a merit pull. How can that be coincidence? I just don’t understand my luck...

3x2*
Unfortunately probability doesn’t work that way. Under your claim, for example, there would be a 123% likelihood of a 2*.
3* Hugh
3* Hugh
3* Hockey Kim
The odds of pulling a 3* in any given pull with the stats given here would be 65.7% (1-0.7^3).
3* Hugh
1* Wesley Crusher
Not good.
Second one was somewhat better.
Sorry, expected value. The expected value would be more than one 2*. Over a large number of pulls you can expect 1.2 2* in each pack.
1x3* (Saavik)
1x1* (Chapel)
1-star Honor fodder
1-star Honor fodder
2-star Tucker (aka Honor fodder)
1* Ensign Tuvok
4* Liaison Torres
My third pull and the first time I have seen a 4* character show up.
2nd pull ... Honor, Honor, Honor
3rd pull ... Honor, Honor, Honor
Common: Rand, Tuvok, Neelix
Uncommon: Recovering Spock
Rare: Maddox, Fox, Morn, Brunt, Winn
I opened 5 packs:
got:
2x 1*
4x 2*
9x 3*
[edit]
totalling things up - using only complete stats provided on this thread ..,
gives:
1* 34.07%
2* 12.45%
3* 45.42%
4* 5.13%
5* 2.93%
If we just ignore the pulls, and assume honor only, each 725 merits spent, typically results in about 260 honor (about 1/3 ratio ... )
