Bonus crew
- high bonus: event crew
- small bonus: variants of Reed, Kim, Stamets and crew with the ‘Festive’ trait.
- Feature Encounters: Ulis, Brunt, and Harry Mudd
As someone doing reasonably well in this event type despite not quite understanding all of its rules yet… what are “feature encounter bonus crew”? When does this occur in the event? Should we be considering using these crew in the voyage seats? And if we do, what bonus do they get?

In encounters further along in the voyage (I think 6h+ but don't quote me on that) you get tougher opponents at the end of the chain, kind of like bosses. They're not bonus crew, they're who you can expect to show up in that slot. But given that their stats don't match the actual in game crew with the same names I'm not entirely sure how helpful it is to know in advance whose art we'll be seeing.
"Feature encounters" means that these crew are likely to show up as opposition during the event, generally as the final opponent in late-stage encounters on longer voyages. You won't get any bonus from including them on your crew, it's just a heads-up to let you know who you might be facing.
Ah, thanks all. That fits. But this a great point from weakinteaction: "given that their stats don't match the actual in game crew with the same names I'm not entirely sure how helpful it is to know in advance whose art we'll be seeing."
