Khaless and other "special" crew: are they available in the Time Portal?

Hi guys!

I have a question: can characters like Khaless or Guinan be found in the Time Portal?
Or to get them / add more stars to them the only way is to spend 50K honors for a Citation?

Khaless is available in the Honor Hall only... Locutus and Guinan were / are Gauntlet prizes. Did someone found them in blue, purple portals?

And what about the Borg Queen, Kortar, and so on ? (I mean the mega-event recurrent crew).

It would be great to have a list which tells which crew is available in portals and which are not... thus it would be easier to decide for what to spend honor.

    Khaless is Honor Hall only. Guinan is Gauntlet only. Locutus was Gauntlet only. He is also an achievement for 20k Gauntlet rounds. I think he may have appeared in a Borg pack once, but he's not in the main portal. The mega event crew were only in those events and the post-event pack.

    Not in the portal, though the Queen and Locutus were in a Borg pack once.

    So basically what you are saying is that if I want to add more stars to Khaless I have to use a Citation for 50K honors, right?

    Ok so if I want to add stars to Khaless, Borg Queen, Kortar, ecc... I have to buy Citations.

    For Locutus one star comes from the Gauntlet achievement and then... Citations.

    For Guinan there is still chance to get more free copies until she is still the Gauntlet prize.

    Are there other crew like these, that cannot be found in portals? Is there a list of them?

    The above are correct. There are threads floating around with who is and who is not in the loot tables for the normal portal packs (725 Merit, 650 DIL and 90k credits all pull from the same loot table but with different odds). Those threads may be out of date sadly.

    It's probably about time for a portal refresh anyway, so I'll work this weekend to round up a list of crew that haven't been added and post it in the correct forum for Shan and BP to pass along.

    Yes until such time as DB decides to make him available some other way. I would guess they may do this several months down the road after switching out the honor hall characters this month. After Picardgate I would hope they don't do it right after switching them out.

    Unless DB decides to give it to us for free in our mailbox, correct....

    I'm not even convinced credit, merit, and dil pull from the same loot table. We've seen enough DB mistakes in the past that it wouldn't shock me if they are different loot tables. That being said, they're SUPPOSED to have the same crew.

    Voyages has it's own loot table. It looks like it was set up by copying the dil loot table when voyages launched. There is a thread where people are speculating that all of the crew from the DIL portal snafu are missing from voyages too. DB hasn't confirmed this, but no one has reported getting any of the crew yet.
  • @eXo | Frank what about 2* gaia odo? I've never had him drop and only had the ones from threshold rewards in the event he was released in...
  • arjunaarjuna ✭✭✭
    2* Gaia does drop from the packs at least, I don't think I've gotten him on a Voyage

    For purples I have never gotten the following in the normal portal pulls, assuming they aren't in tables, but not 100% sure.

    Only listed ones from before July 2017, which was most of what was in the last portal loot table update.

    Captain Kurn (May 2016)
    Doctor La Forge (July 2016)
    Warship chakotay (dec 2016)
    Trader Odo (January 2017)
    Prospero Data (Feb 2017)
    Warship Janeway (no date added in wiki)
  • Frank?Frank? ✭✭✭✭✭
    So on the side, we collect data from other players of who is and isn't dropping. I've personally had Odo drop, so to my knowledge he's good.

    For the 4*s, I think there are more than that missing but we are like 99% Warship Chakotay is missing. Kurn too.

    There are several 5*s we suspect are missing that should have been in there (Trelane, Ump Odo) but aren't.

    Not to mention the crew that is newer and hasn't made the loot tables yet...
  • AHSOG2AHSOG2 ✭✭✭
    I have yet to see Warship Janeway or Chakotay drop from portal pulls.

    What about Abraham Lincoln?
    I have never once seen him in a premium pack and at this point, I've pretty much seen every 5* that's been out over a year appear as a pack reward or in a behold. I will admit I haven't seen Trelane either but I don't know when he came out. I do know Abe has been out for a very long time though, over a year.

    Jazz Musician Riker is/was available in Voyages. I have gotten him twice as a crew reward.

    All three are too new to be included. There's an approximate 6 month wait time between introduction and addition to the regular circulation.

  • Dominion Dukat and Captain Kurn are limited time crew. Unless they use them for an event, they will never be in the loot table. Only in character packs

    Yes, Abraham Lincoln is also a limited time crew as well. He will never be added to the loot table unless he becomes an event crew.

    That explains why I've had those two so long and have never got another star for either one.

    I got a Dominion Dukat from the portal about a month ago.
  • No, limited crew can be added to the regular portal and to events. They have in the past, and they were all supposedly added in a previous portal update.

    Am I the only one who noted it says "Limited Time" next to Captain Kurn, but "Limited" next to Dukat? maybe that is why he is now a Portal Pull? Or do they mean the same thing? I know that Shan and maybe Pebble have posted that sometimes there are space issues with what can go on the Offer Frames......

    Which is why I stated that they wont be added to the loot table unless they became an event crew. Both Ambassador Spock, Temporal Seven, and Klingon Quark were Limited Crew until they became an event crew. All three were in events. After they were used in the events, they were eventually added to the loot table.

    I can’t find an example of a limited crew being added to the loot table until they were added to an event

    Are you sure from the portal? I have never seen dominion dukat in the portal. I’ve seen him in the Dabo and in the faction center

    Temporal Seven was limited crew and added to the regular portal (long before she was event crew) as were Warship Yar, Phoenix Cochrane, Admiral Janeway, Ushaan Archer, Ushaan Shran and others. The only thing "time limited" about those crew are that they are limited to their special pack(s) for an amount of time before being added to the regular portal loot table, or that's what we were told way back when anyway.
