ah, ok, thanks. didn't realize that event crew = limited time. that's pretty sad since i regularly get 4/4 reward crew. i thought limited time crew were like Abraham Lincoln, Ushaan Archer/Shran, etc.
Yet another DB wording bait-and-switch. smh
EDIT: never mind, sorry! Cyrus Redblock is time-limited crew!
EDIT2: never mind the never mind - Cyrus Redblock is no longer limited time crew!

Its a little tricky, but in this case I take Limited to mean "Not in the regular portal pool"
Sometimes I think DB intentionally words things wonky. They said exclusive crew and then have a shadow of L'Rell in their pack image I assume he and a couple of other crew that are shadowed would be in the pulls. I think it's a bunch of **Hugs**.
Read the infobox, then compare it to the 25th anniversary or event pack. You'll see that elusive treasures says nothing about a guaranteed crew from a short list. So while L'Rell may well be in the pack as a limited time crew, your odds to get her would also be ... limited.

and not limited like on the packs that say limited. like these:
Elusive Treasures has never had a guaranteed legendary. Instead it guarantees a behold for each slot. Around the same time ET originated there was also a pack offer called "Best of the Best" which was similar, but instead it offered one guaranteed legendary behold along with a 4* (with possibility of a 5*) in all of the other slots without the guarantee of a behold.
oh wait, i stand corrected. Cyrus Redblock is a time-limited crew. Never mind! sorry!
Cyrus is in regular packs, he was added with the batch of crew in October that brought forth the "apology pack".
OK, so now I'm really confused. @Shan / @Black Pebble can you confirm which one of my pulls is the guaranteed limited crew?
Or does recent event rewards crew = guaranteed limited crew?
I'm still pretty sure Limited = Not in Regular Portal Pulls. Recent Event Crew have not been added to the Regular Portal pool yet, so I'm assuming they are the Limited Crew (which can be Event Crew, or Limited Crew). Off the top of my head I think you saw: Mirror Vic, Mirror Dax, Commander Barak and someone else who has not been added to the regular portal pool yet.

Guaranteeing a "Limited-Time available crew" (which it says in the pack details) equaling event crew is pretty misleading (since they've never use that term for event crew that I can recall), but you're probably correct. Limited-Time has been used very specifically in the past...
It really would be awesome if DB put up a list of who is and isn't considered Limited Crew. For example, I assume that Limited = Not Available in the regular Time Portal. So, by that logic here are a few crew I consider Limited:
Kahless, the Unforgettable
Bartender Guinan
Locutus
Kortar
Borg Queen
T'Kuvma
Mirror Picard
*** I'm 99.9999% sure that these crew are NOT in Elusive Treasure packs. Don't pull the pack expecting them and blame me! "The more you know..."
I'm fairly certain the loot pool for this ET pack is *any* Super Rare or Legendary card in the game EXCEPT for Kahless, Guinan and Locutus. Everything/Everyone else is completely fair game.
I have seen event crew from today (Mariachi Q, Quark, Burnham) in people's screenshots, in addition to Day 1 characters. Please take into account the sheer size of that loot pool and make an informed decision before you make a $50 purchase.
You may also watch the pulls I did over on my YouTube if you want to live vicariously. Spoiler alert - we got a David Marcus!

everyone (except uber gauntlet crew) being fair game is fine. the question is - for the 6,500 dilithium pack that guarantees a Limited Time crew - why are recent event crew being considered Limited Time? They were never part of a Limited Time pack, which is the only place in the game that has Limited Time wording. Event Crew != Limited Time Crew.
There are Limited Time crew that have been demoted from Limited Time (e.g. Cyrus Redblock). But the remaining are still not available e.g. Abraham Lincoln.

Bottom line, if the wording on the pack said guaranteed chance at a recent event crew, I would not have purchased it.
Which was my initial reasoning for posting this thread. If it had Locutus and some others like him I might have bit but once I found there was no guaranteed legendary and recent event crew counted it just didn't seem worth it for the cost.
Fun idea but cost just to high with too much risk.

Ushaan Shran IS in the elusive pack. I just didn't choose him, as a 4th star on another legendary was far more intresting.
I also picked up mirror dax, anbo jitsu riker, mirror vic and ofcourse a lot of others...
This whole thread and the speculation on what DB actually means is just one great example of DB's long term inability to communicate. Even now that they have an Info-box we still have know idea what we are supposed to get out of a pull or if DB fulfilled the terms of the offer. @Black Pebble and @Shan take note of this and actual do something about getting us clear information that includes a list of what is supposed to drop and what crew is supposed to fill the offer description.

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

In reality what should of happen is there should of been an official post in star fleet communications about the Elusive Treasure pack explaining exactly what it was and what could possibly be pulled from it. Maybe not list every single crew that could be pulled but at least an idea of who could and couldn't be pulled. Instead in typical DB fashion we are left wondering with no official response.

Why? It would only discourage the gamblers.
However, it would follow the TOS that Apple has, and people use Apple Cards......

This would be a start. Any think they come up with though need to port to all players and as we are often told the forums is not the full player base. The information about what is expected out of a pack and what the crew pool is has to be in game. Heck even a url that can't link out to a listing would be a huge improvement over what they have now.

10 for $10 gets you ten 4* and nine 3* or schematics ( with chance of 4* or 5* beholds )
2x elusive for $50 gets you twenty 4* beholds ( with chance of 5* ), zero 3* or schematics
Advantages are:
1. They are all beholds, so less chance of getting a 4* you already have 4/4.
2. They have chance of newer crew, not seen in basic or premium packs
imo if you just want cheap crew, save for the 10 for $10. If you want newer crew that usually have better stats, $50 is a good buy.

I haven't gotten a legendary in ages through regular 10s. I don't have much confidence in getting them here either.
