  • Gotta ask why is Quark med? Is it for him being a bit of a counselor for Worf/Dax? If so should he have a counselor trait?

    It makes no sense story-wise but it does gameplay-wise. No other featured character has medicine this time around.

    Gotta disagree with you on this. It doesn't make sense gameplay-wise either. There is no harm if no character has the skill, just use your best Med crew. On the other hand, this character will be around forever with a skill it shouldn't have and unlike traits, can't really be corrected later.

    Of course it makes sense. Alcohol is the best medicine.

    I must concur! It helps a LOT of problems :wink:

  • If a counselor has MED then it’s sensible that Quark has med...he’s a bartender!!! There is no more accessible counselor than a bartender...

    There were some questions about Guinan having med when she was first introduced. Several great examples of her counseling, including counseling the counselor, were then given.

    I wouldn't say Quark did a whole lot of counseling in general, and don't recall if he did in this episode specifically. Been a long time, and not one of my favorite episodes.

    There will be some surprises in the Community Rewards, yes - not as many as I see posted above though :smile:

    Here's hoping for some Citations, and another CD Quark...

    Saw it with the daughter about 2 months ago. Vague memories of Quark counseling Bashir over the nasty weather that Worf had caused and then again commiserating over Leeta’s choice of Rom...it’s a stretch I suppose

    Have you met Quark? His counseling is buy another drink or GTFO! Abrasive, at best, to his customers. The best "counseling" example I can come up with is visiting Odo's quarters to straiten out his crush on Kira after Odo destroys his room.

    And remember what we learned in The Cage about bartenders and doctors when Boyce was pouring Pike a drink

    It’s a stretch but dang it...even Quark led those misfits to rescue Ishka through counsel and command...and what about the 180 he pulled on Gaila and Hagath?
    Nevermind, I’ll just get my coat...

    I think that's the point. Then the second phase will probably be Quark (and maybe Q) coming back to fix the mess.

    So, we cannot do the "Start 40 Missions to get high Points fast" thing now?!?!?

    Has it always been like that? I never had tried it before, heard it mentioned last Faction Event, after I was going already......

    I used the 20/9/2/2 strategy for the first time today, and it worked like a charm to get me to VP=2750 per shuttle.

    Sadly, I anticipate this happening to me also. Faction events reward a deep bench of crew, and mine is fair to middlin’. “Marathon, not sprint” is my new mantra for this game. 🖖🏻

    I cannot believe that all four 3 hour Shuttles {cut in half with 3* Speed Up} Succeeded. Even the one that was like 57%!!!!!

    Thing is - I just plain shudder each time I send each shuttle. I was in better mind state when I was running 8th consecutive ticket last Expedition.

    Congratulations. I had three shuttles on an easy faction I don't do much. All three at 99%. One failed. That was just before the event. Once I got the three hour runs, I had another fail that had been in the upper 90s. It happens. I'm glad for you yours worked.

    Just had 1/4 Fail, but it was literally 50%.

    Only 118,200 to go!!!!!!
