Behold Change

deathpunch

With the amount of crew that could possibly come up on a behold pull it makes it terribly difficult to get crew FF. Be it either super rare or legendary, how about grouping by factions and being able to pick the group you want in an effort to narrow the selections and increase the odds of getting the crew you want/need.

Good idea. Instead of an event pack or level pack, let me buy a Frengi pack.

There are 14 factions, each with a different number of crew associated with them (from the wiki):

https://stt.wiki/wiki/Augment_Faction_Center - 8
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Bajoran_Faction_Center - 19
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Cardassian_Faction_Center - 10
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Dominion_Faction_Center - 7
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Federation_Faction_Center - 110
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Hirogen_Faction_Center - 5
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Ferengi_Traditionalists_Faction_Center - 6
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Ferengi_Alliance_Faction_Center - 7
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Hirogen_Faction_Center - 5
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Klingon_Empire_Faction_Center - 23
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Maquis_Faction_Center - 6
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Romulan_Star_Empire_Faction_Center - 10
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Section_31_Faction_Center - 3
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Terran_Empire_Faction_Center - 8
https://stt.wiki/wiki/KCA_Faction_Center - 6

Although these numbers might not accurately reflect how crew could be distributed among the factions, it does illustrate at least the current actual disparity.

How do you propose to reconcile this disparity between the factions and the resulting difference in chance of getting certain crew? If the disparity is considered a non-issue then would the resulting behold of 3 out of 110 be enough of a difference for Federation crew? Would the resulting behold of 3 out of 6 or 7 be too much for Ferengi crew?

On a related note, would you say that the current honor values and/or behold mechanics do not effectively Alleviate behold frustrations?

It absolutely does not alleviate behold frustrations. One of the biggest problems is the lopsided cost of citations to honor received when dismissing a crew member. Legendary is like 90 to 1. In addition, you’d think with as many crew that’s available (sr) and new being added all the time that duplicates wouldn’t be all that frequent occurrence. I constantly get 3 choices of crew that that I have FF. Something needs to change. Take the rng out of it and let me choose. I need 2 specialized crew to finish off Celestial Temple and I don’t think I’ll ever get them. After all the junk I got out of the 2 10packs I picked up today, I think I’m done. DB can find another sucker.

Yep, unfortunately that is exactly what it is.

I agree, something needs to change.
