"And the Mirror Jean-Luc Picard mega event reward superstar is..." *bated breath* "CMD Primary!!!"

Just...really DB? Really?
Like do you guys have short-term memory on your mega-event reward 5*s or something?
This is the 3RD CMD primary one we've had. Where's the diversity????

Lololololol

Well on the plus side, it lets me slide with not using my honour to get him to 5-stars for a little while.

  • Well, at least he's got some SCI to show for... I am also quite interested to see what kind of stats will they give him. Will he be at least decent for voyages, or the gauntlet, or will he be plain simple filler crew???

    At this rate, I will start praying to the STT gods to give me voyages with CMD primary every day :)
  • Yeah. With Mirror Picard, Borg Queen and T'Kuvma.. There is almost no point keeping any 1/5 that specialises in CMD. I've got Captain Sisko for example who I've not bothered to level and might have to airlock now, simply because he's not going to get used enough.

    I'll have three characters with a CMD base of over 1000 (after Starbase bonus), but my best MED isn't even up to 850.

    (I posted this on the event thread, but it will get buried under all the complaints about the artwork)

    At least he's got that SCI. I sometimes forget to use T'Kuvma on CMD/SEC Voyages because he's not flexible. Gun Show Picard also has a healthy array of traits.

    You must be new here!?

    Stats were posted several hours ago:

    Mirror Jean-Luc Picard (New) 5* Legendary
    Fully Fused Fully Equipped Level 100 Skills: CMD 1042 (243-753), SEC 982 (198-439), SCI 583 (21-88)

    Everyone displeased with Picard may want to check where he ranks on the list of crew for voyages. It’s looking like he will be top five there and as a card most players can get fully fused fairly easily.

    I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. He will be on my roster permanently, I am absolutely certain of that. He's going to make a great partner for the Borg Queen for CMD-based voyages, and he's perfect for ones where you need to sacrifice some SCI to get to that 8th hour mark without any dilithium spent. All in all, a good catch, so I will forgive the fact that he's non-canon.

    The SCI is nice but almost negligible. I actually don't use my Borg Queen very often on voyages. She's usually the shuttle goer.

    I have 6 CMD people with over 1000, imagine how much less he might get used for me x.x, my weakest category isn't even MED, it's ENG where I only have one person with over 1000

  • Stats are weaker than Queenie and Tkum. Very disappointed.
  • But seriously...mirror or not, he's a Picard. It's not like Mirror universe turns him into MED/ENG/SCI

    Well... It did turn a hologram into a human once, so one could hope lol :D
  • But seriously...mirror or not, he's a Picard. It's not like Mirror universe turns him into MED/ENG/SCI

    Shouldn't stop him from being DIP either. In the comics he seems very DIP to me. DIP/CMD/SCI or DIP/CMD/SEC in that order. He could really have 4 traits, but the primary two I think should be DIP & CMD.

    2nd highest crew overall for voyages after First Officer Burnham. And he has the same skill set as her.

    If you missed Burnham, here's your replacement. I think he's just fine thank you.

    I always thought that guy was just meant to be Felix, and the Ferengi didn't realise because Bashir's the only one who's ever actually met him.
  • GhostStalkerGhostStalker ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm SO disappointed right now. I was COUNTING on a high level 4/5 DIP card. So disappointed.

    Like how Zimmerman programmed the EMH in his own likeness ?
    I guess that makes sense.
    Logical.
  • I'm fine with Mirror Picard as CMD primary - we discussed the lack of CMD primary Picards in Fleet chat a few days back, the 4/5 star variants are usually DIP, with Robin Hood as SEC and Galen as SCI.

    It would be nice to have a PIcard variant from a timeline where he went into exoarchaeology instead of Starfleet, that one could be expected to have a high SCI primary with reasonable ENG and MED as similar-level secondary and tertiary skills.
  • He'll be useful in Picard events, unlike T'Kuvma

    Thats! I DO NOT want the Skills of a Char according to anything else than what fits the Char himself best in sense of Role Playing!
    And I WANT the Char as Main Event Char that fits the story it tells best.
    So, as far as I'm concernd Picrad looks good - more to that when I see what it will be all about.
    Live long and prosper.

    Or if you have both, an additional string to the bow as it were. T'Kuvmasmurf was a one trick pony and I have even considered airlocking him. At least as a picard variant he may get some extra use and 3 skills he will be useful in voyages.

  • It's a marketing trick. They give away something awesome - and reskin it and give at away as something awesome the next time. It's the same thing, with a different paint job. That way the other gold cards have more value, and a player is forced to hunt them down and pay money to balance their crew out. It's why they haven't got any recent Med cards too, it makes them special and players have to go the extra lightyear to get them. Put the beat ones in packs, increase the stats, keep players working for new stuff. It's very frustrating for players that don't have oodles of cash, but that's always been the way with capitalism.

  • Not just CMD, but also SEC. No more CMD/SEC mega event rewards, please. What's the point? T'Kuvma is already devalued so much by the fact that he only has two skills and that Kortar is almost as good a CMD as him, plus has a higher SEC and a third skill. Now, the Space Orc is only going to be bumped down the list further.

    I'm not complaining because it is a Picard, but please, for the next mega event, how about the 5* crew having 3 stats that don't include Command or Security? Pretty please?

    Actually there was a Mythbusters episode about this, and with a little consistency the goldfish were quite trainable to remember mazes and repeat them. Just saying.

    For the record, I'm happy enough for Picard, but for once I want to be beyond just enough, I want to be overjoyed at a mega-event 5* like I was with Borg Queen.

    And I agree, I'm tired of COM, SEC. Like can we have just a month of ENG, SCI, DIP, and MED primary characters? For next mega-event, let's get a non SEC or COM primary 5* please. I feel like this is the three generations of pokemon all over again where the fire starter was dual type fighting three consecutive generations in a row. Enough is enough.

  • He'll be useful in Picard events

    I actually think it's highly likely that Mirror Picard won't get a bonus in future Picard events.
    You can already see the logic in this event with other Picards NOT being given a bonus.

    And this makes sense, otherwise any new players who join next year will be significantly disadvantaged in any and all Picard events because they won't have the 4/5 that everyone else will have.

    That would pretty much break the whole point of having him for the most part.

    I think the only excuse they are using is that he's technically not event crew, but he's the mega reward. That won't fly in a normal Picard event.

    I'd like to leave out DIP too, it's rather well represented, and I know sure not a weak spot of mine. But I concur, anything but another Klingon.

    Noop, I see essentially zero chance of this. Picard will count as a Picard in all future events where Picard is in a pack.
    I actually disagree, Picards not getting a bonus here makes sense. The Mirrors get a bonus, there are lots of event crew, and Picard isn't a a character making an appearance in this chapter, he's an unseen quest object. You didn't see Janeways as even crew in the last megas, except when she was a card in a pack with an active role in that chapter.
