    Chakotay is a highly spiritual man, it makes absolutely no sense that none of his versions have the Spiritual trait.

    If you look at who does have the spiritual trait, they're not just spiritual people, but religious figures.

    Kira is also highly spiritual, so if Chakotay gets the trait, most versions of her should get it, as well.

    Heck, so is Worf with all those Klingon rituals he goes through... and pretty much all the Vulcans with their meditation lamps and such...
    Probably the best option would just be to change the name of the trait to "religious leader". Really what they're going for anyway.

    True.

    But if this is not what they mean, then they need to add the trait to Chakotay, Kira, T'Pol, Neelix(?), and Worf.
    I wouldn't say all Vulcans, I would operate just from the scenes we see where said Vulcans do participate in spiritual practices.

    In the same thinking, Winn is listed as Spiritual whereas she was definitely Dogmatic, Political and Religious.

    Spiritual? Not so much.

    Another Faction.. :/

    I'm actually pretty happy about that. Three of the last four events have had at least a galaxy component. I mean, I'd be happier to get a straight expedition event, but I'll take this.

    And three of four somewhere recent were Faction, or part Faction......

    It's true.

    The difference is that you can passively play a faction event, running shuttles, getting some stuff, at no loss of resources. It's all freebies.

    With a galaxy event, you can't. You have to invest resources that would otherwise go to leveling crew to play at all. I usually clear out the thresholds (at least to a certain point) on the basis that I'm getting more out than I'm putting in, even if it happens to be in the form of credits or crew instead of equipment. But because the investment is a lot higher, the ROI is nowhere near as good as for faction events.

    Yeah, finishing the Threshold is a much worse ROI than getting MAYBE 20,000-30,000 Points in the Fraction Events.....

    Again, we dare not mock the mighty Fraction Event, because everybody gotta love the Fraction Events.......

    How long have you been playing? 20-30k points is like first month stuff, you get that with 3* crew. Anyone with a couple of 1/5's and immortal 4* crew should be clearing most of the thresholds. It's really not that hard.

    He doesn't have a smartphone or internet access at home, he probably only plays once a day. Personally I think he'd be better off buying a smartphone instead of buying packs in the game, but people make their own choices.

    They like minerals. Nothing but gold-pressed latinum.

  • Doctor trait as bonus. My guess would be, spread out across 30 possible shuttle missions with 4 seats on average, we will see about 2 MED slots total.

    Well they did better in the McCoy event. There were several MED nodes on more than one shuttle in more than one faction.

    Indeed. I’ve been thinking about putting some of my lower-skilled MED crew on ice and actually have ended up using them these last couple days.

    Can't we have Protomeowphosis Worf also as 3x bonus crew just for the fun of it? :D Also, thank you for finally making Section 31 one of the event factions!

    Events and bonus is gone to the point where you HAVE to have the crew or your going to suffer all weekend. Last week's Q event I failed a total of 3 shuttles. My last five rounds this week
    1/4 success
    2/4 success
    1/4 success
    0/4 success
    1/4 success

    I've a fairly deep roster yet my Madam de Neuf is 3/5 and Dark Age McCoy is 5/5 both FE and have FFFE Drone,Temporal seven,warship Yar.

    This picture has FFFE Legendary crew with a 3* boost on the fourth shuttle. It's become a hardcore P2W model now

    Breezed it last week in the shuttle part and why wouldn't I spent nearly €300 on crew. I can see why a large portion of the playerbase prefer to hoard chrons and play galaxy events

    Just seen next week's bonus crew and welcome the change

    Wow that's terrible. If those guys are all FF/FE, I think you should be getting at least over 80% without a boost.
  • How do you delete a fleet you made? Or at least how do you change the name?

    I have noticed that too. I’ll have all crew with over 1000 points for the skill to fill all the seats on a shuttle and before a boost the percentage of success is like 53. Should at least be in the 70s right?

  • How do you delete a fleet you made? Or at least how do you change the name?

    This question should be in the ready room, not next week's event info!

    I sure you have to build acid. Probably casings and polyalloy in creating the cement McCoy healed her with. Beyond that could be just about anything.

    Horta eggs

    Vulcan meditation lamps.
    Orb experiences

    We are going all Spiritual now, especially after the mind meld.

    I'm not sure I agree, I'd rather her be SCI primary and DIP secondary. Her tertiary is harder to imagine, COM isn't bad, but if she's caring for these whales in any medical capacity, MED would fit pretty well.

    As for traits, I'm not sure Communicator and Gambler belong. She doesn't actually communicate with the whales themselves. The rest seem fine. I'd also add Maverick as she was pretty fine with making up her own code of doing things, e.g. going to the future with the TOS crew (something I'd imagine the prime directive might be against, but the temporal prime directive may not have existed then). I might also add in Romantic given her almost dalliances with Kirk.

    I'll be probably going pretty hard with them, I'm in dire need of holoprograms and security codes.

    A lot of the doctors have other uses though, commander chapel will be a decent sci once the bonus is applied for example

    Is alternating factions beneficial?

    They have different skills on their shuttles, so it depends on your crew. I've been alternating trying to figure out which ones work best for mine. It looks like the 3 seaters in Klingon and Hirogen might be the ticket for me at this point.

    I have been doing 2 Hirogen and 2 Klingon to be able to use all the crew I have for the event. When running Klingon I end up not using my medical crew but Hirogen usually has 1/2 of the shuttles with 1-2 medical spots. It has served me well for the 8 4* and 5* crew I have, where 7-8 are used regularly. Using those 2 factions has allowed me to hold between rank 400-500 with a 2-4/4 shuttle success rate.

    Pretty much guaranteed that Section 31 will be the winner in this one too right? Holoprograms, Case Files, and Tactical Alerts? Yes plz
