    Updated the original post with:

    Bonus crew:
    • high bonus: event crew
    • small bonus: variants McCoy, variants of Seven of Nine and variants of Yar.
    Event factions: Maquis, Klingon Empire, Hirogen

    What about Sela?

    Why would she count? She was Tasha's daughter... Does Wesley count for Beverly bonus crew?

    Cause she is the same actress. Probably Sela wont count but she should. Not many Yars have been released.

    Then I suppose Weyoun and Brunt should count for Shran.
    Fine with me if all Jeffrey Combs give bonus when a Jeffrey Combs character is in an event. I am not saying that DB has to do this or that it makes sense, just that it is fun. Sometimes it is fun for a company to give a nod to the actors playing the characters and not just the characters themselves. It's why so many of us want a Jeffrey Combs event.
    Let’s fly!

    I want a Combs event too, but if it's a Ferengi event, having Weyoun or Shran give a bonus wouldn't make sense.

    An all-Combs event would be fun, if a bit ridiculous. What would thematically link Weyoun, Shran, and Brunt? Nothing's coming to mind. Open to suggestions.

    Another fun one could be an all Majel Barrett-Roddenberry event. Chapel, Lwaxana, and the original Number One! Again, not sure of a theme to tie them together.

    Or, what about an all-Diana Muldaur event? Dr. Katherine Pulaski, Dr. Miranda Jones, and Dr. Ann Mulhall. I think I see a theme for that one!

    And then you could have a card for the Enterprise computer. She did the voice for that, too. I suppose the Enterprise computer would be a solid engineering card.

    That’s not a bad idea. Might be tough to implement but it would be a fascinating departure from the crew as we’ve come to know them.

    Also thinking ENG/SCI or maybe ENG/SCI/CMD based on how the ship’s computers have been used (primarily in TNG and VOY) to help build or analyze things.

    If they can come up with a way to have Seven, Tasha and Bones all in one event, I don't think Shran, Weyoun and Brunt would be very difficult.

    Some people thrown through time have come to notice certain similarities between themselves and people from completely different times and cultures. Help them try to find a reason for this!

    That could totally be a Mega Event.

    Week One: J.G. Hertzler
    Week Two: Mark Lenard
    Week Three: Majel Barrett
    Week Four: Jeffrey Combs

    Maybe combine Mark Lenard and Thomas Kopache. Don’t want to leave out a legend like him, even f the characters aren’t necessarily as memorable.

    On the planet 892-IV, three Starfleet Officers have volunteered to fight in the gladiatorial ring for the chance to win a treasure trove of dilithium for the Federation. Support one of the gladiators in this week's Faction event, "We Who Are To Die."

    And T'Rul should count for Seska.

  • is Sela considered a variation of Yar ?

  • Artwork check:

    Yar - Horrible, just horrible
    Mc Coy - Bad
    Seven - kind of OK, besides the slobby and non detailed hair

    I agree with Yar but even that one is about 1000 times better than mirror data.

    If Mirror Data is ur crew you compare all other to, you are right. But Mirror Data was just beyond bad.....way way beyond. :D

    I think what makes it even more egregious is how fantastic the artwork is for previous versions of the same character...so there's an easy reference point. Just the comparison of the hair on Seven of Nine and 2-star Yar versus these is...painful.

    edit: for good measure, here's McCoy too.

    Yar is terrible but the others aren’t wretched. Not like Mirror Reed, Mirror Data, or Lorca.
  • Seven's head is probably the most detailed out of the three and comes the closest to matching previous artwork.

    McCoy is a little simplistic compared to some of his prior versions, but is still recognisable and in proportion. I've seen much worse.

    Tasha has an unusually high forehead for some reason. I know a headband of some description was used in the CoH fight sequence, but this picture makes it look like her hair is hovering a few centimetres above her head.

    Actually I would rate them as...
    McCoy - best, he looks most similar to himself even if it is less detailed.
    Yar - meh, she looks like herself but the shade is bad.
    Seven - worst, she looks nothing like her self at all. I don't know who that woman is.

    Wow... just wow how bad it's gotten again. And I agree that McCoy is the least sucky of the bunch.

    [shrugs] Looks like the same woman to me, just more battered, and scowling rather than the logically impassive that we're used to.

    And here I thought that they will do *at least* Tsunkatse Seven justice... What's actually funny, is that the lighting in that episode would perfectly fit the DB yellow/blue vision for the character art. Huge ball drop on this one. I am ashamed to admit it, but I am starting to like BO Dax and Klingon O'Brien more than others now.

    Can someone explain what it is that's so bad about her? I'm not seeing anything especially egregious. She looks more realistic than the other two. I'm genuinely asking, not being facetious.

    To me, it's the shading. Her face is shaded so dark that she looks like an entirely different woman to me.

    People look like different people when the ambient light is darker? I haven't noticed that, though I'm not the most observant.

    The other problem.i having seen mentioned about this is that Seven is not a Starfleet officer. It is picking nits, but still.
