Did UFM5 6 times. 1 emblem. Bought another round of tickets. One emblem.
Yeah, I considered myself lucky to get 2 emblems per six missions. The last ticket I bought, however, I got 3. Whoo-hoo...?
Oh, but despite that melancholia, there was cause for celebration later in the evening, my brothers and sisters. Like many of you, I've been getting terrible drop rates for those things from the Terran shuttles. That's why my eyes nearly popped out of my head when, in one batch of shuttles, I had 3 out of 4 not only return with that rarified item, but bring back two Terran Emblems each. Yes, friends, that was a time, let me tell you... all of the crew gathered in Ten Forward, and laughed & rejoiced... and then we broke out the Saurian Brandy and danced to Vulcan lute music until the targs came home.

I replicated most of Picards faction Items, Its just a matter of checking the builds. I got him FE after 1hr after the Event start so I would say hes an easy build if you replicate the tough stuff.
So we get an event which features mirror characters, and so mirror items get very scarce. Same thing happened with the Klingon mega event. I can understand the frustration, but let's not get carried away. Levelling crew is supposed to be difficult. Make it too easy and there are going to be other complaints.
I too have a backlog of mirror people needing specific Terran Empire stuff, but that's the game. I do enjoy more pride when I finally get my mirror-Picard to level 100 :-)
I don't mind the difficulty of levelling the characters, I get that. What I don't get is how it's most difficult to get the common items while the 2 star items I have so many of that rhey are about to break my cargo holds.
Easy solution, swap place on the name common. Call the two star item common and call the common items super rare and keep the recipes the same, but it doesn't break common sense or look extremely ridicoulous not to mention lower my frustration levels.
Or, make the common items actually common, but that might actually make too much sense. Don't want to go there...
I have been running Terran Empire shuttles almost exclusively for the past 9 days and using my 5 replicator uses per day trying to level my Mirror crew. I have 15 mirror crew and now have 13 of them FE and the only ones left are Mirror Jadzia and Mirror Picard. I am totally feeling the frustration as I have had times where all 4 shuttles come back either all failed or no needed items have been given. It has been frustrating but I am getting there one piece at a time. Just hoping to finish either Mirror Jadzia or Picard before the start of this next event.
I am sure if the Terran Empire faction is not included with this next event the forums will turn into a pitchfork and torch brigade.
On the bright side DB hasn't said we hearyou and thus have added new missions to the game that drop the items need. And then it turns out that the drop rate is little better than Faction missions. Yes I am looking at you Klingon Mega Event.

Maybe the irony is that we play because we’re Star Trek fans, those hopeful idealists that like to think things will get better when we raise valid concerns about fairness and balance, etc and we forget that DB’s greed openly mocks the values espoused by the franchise they have a license

Also, I don't see any way they can have a faction event that doesn't include the Terran Empire. In Klingon month, we had an issue because Klingons require KCA items, but KCA was not central to the plot. That's not the case here.

Sharpening my pitchfork now. After the Klingon event having 3/4 faction parts and never once featuring KCA which all Klingons need i can certainly see faction events without Terran trips on the way.

I sent out four missions... and got one emblem.

I can't, my brain isn't wired like that.
I get more frustrated by the semantics than the actual time spent levelling muscle Picard.
I would make a bad Vulcan, or a very good one, not sure which way this falls?

Who is best for those Nodes? Especially if Crits are still needed? I am working on getting my 2* Cadets done. {Sundays are out right off.}

Just saying it would be nice.
