    I THINK the last thing said was, basically, "Sometime in 2024."? One of the Q&A videos or a post from Ben? I think was maybe sometime in the first or second quarter.....

    I hope they will remember to add 2* Kevin Mulkahey this time. Newer accounts haven't had the chance to acquire (and freeze) him.

    I'm waiting for BorgySitter Boimler. They forgot him when they added the others from the Mega.....


    EDIT: I don't know why I thought the Crew from the Borg Mega Event were in the Portal. I think I was thinking of the Update that added EV Boimler. Maybe.

    For your digestion, here are the historical dates of previous portal updates:
    July 19, 2023
    February 7, 2023
    June 13, 2022
    January 18, 2022
    July 27, 2021
    November 24, 2020
    March 17, 2020
    August 20, 2019
    January 8, 2019
    March 20, 2018
    June 7, 2017

    So in the last 2ish years, we've gotten into a pretty decent rhythm of every 6ish months, you get one - usually pairs along with an Elusive Treasure sale.

    I’m just wondering which Super Rare pack crew might be in the next update.
    I’m guessing Amanda Cole, Jojo Krako and Hain - all released between Feb and Jul 19 2023.
    Mot came out Jul 25 so perhaps is a possible?

    Any Portal update will start at roughly six months before the date of the update. Meaning that if the update happened on January 1, the newest card that would be in the update would have been released around July 1st. So all cards from the last update to July 1st, would be put into the Portal.

    Now, there is quite a bit of wiggle room on that, as the exact day a card is released has always been a bit unclear to me (it's probably in the game coding; if others know for sure, please correct me). Also, I've always gotten the sense the devs make judgement calls. Case in point: by my counting, Seven in Command should not have been released in the last update, as she had been released as a Tuesday Pack card fairly close to the Update (like two or three months before, if memory serves; again I could be mistaken here, anyone is free to correct me) and yet she was in the Portal Update. Also, the devs have regularly released all the new ships, regardless of the timing of their release.

    To your question, by the count I'm keeping, if an update were to happen tomorrow, we would be roughly mid-January 2023 to mid-August 2023. The newest card I could get is T'Pring as Spock, who was released around August 8th.

    Everyone should be prepared, the next update is going to be noticeably smaller than previous ones. That's because of the Tuesday pack drought in the first half of 2023; it went from roughly February to May. So typically only two cards were released a week, rather than the normal three.

    The last portal update was underwhelming in terms of quantity of new crew.

    I honestly think Seven in Command was added to the last Portal update because she was number 40 for the Borg. The Borg Mega last February was extremely disappointing for the number of new Borg and for a while the achievement that had been updated(max 40) was not possible to complete.

    FYI: not seeing an announcement yet but, as I've been opening recap packs, it's clear they've updated the Portal. :)

    And Kevin Mulkahey continues to be elusive.

    I don't even remember who he is, and I want him now.

    We have run into missing crew from the portal updates before. Until they are all verified people will not believe that they are all in the portal.

    And before anybody mentions it; yes, they're all going to be visible in crew retrieval which would suggest that they're all in the portal and no, I don't think that's going to be enough for people to take it on faith.

    Too many mistakes in the past, on both execution and communication, means that WRG has basically burned the trust of the community. And let's not forget, this update wasn't meant to have happened yet, so it's not like the mistakes have stopped.
