Please put new Archers in events

Grant77

@Shan @Black Pebble

Can you pass along to the developers that Captain Archer has NEVER appeared in an event and while we appreciate the new releases, it would be nice to be able to use them in an event.

There have been one hundred events, three hundred + featured characters and there are only six Star Trek series. It's not too much to ask to have a Captain featured a single time.

Thank you.

I like Archer and I like Enterprise. I agree with the above request. Leaving Archer out suggests bias on DB's part. I understand bias to new shows and comics that probably pay some bills. I don't understand bias against Archer and Enterprise from DB. While some love and some hate one series or another, this game should at least try to be even-handed.

But if you do so, please make sure the new Archer doesn t look like a 12 year old, face wise. Thx

Height wise too.

Scotty would be nice in an event too.

Pinkyfirst

Both Archer and Scotty would be nice and featured crew. Barclay gets to be featured...and he spent most of his time on the Holodeck. There have been a lot of low-screentime featured crew that got the nod (and lackluster stats)...show some love to a couple of primary characters.

Pallidyne

As documented in the main cast event thread, three main cast folks have not had an event:

Archer, Scotty and Kes.

Now this time last year that list was a whole lot longer. I'd like to see these three get at least one a piece this year so we can at least say everyone got at least one fair shake.

Does Pulaski count as a main cast member? If no, does Ezri Dax count as a main cast member?

DavideBooks

Yar counts, and she wasn't there for long.

Captain Durf

Pulaski was technically never a main cast member. She was always billed as a guest star.

(HGH)Apollo

How about an Archer, Porthos, Shran event?

For Cardassia

Ezri and Pulaski I'd say would count as main cast, since they were main cast during their seasons.

But overlooking them isn't nearly as egregious as overlooking Scotty (because it's frigging Scotty) and Archer (because he's a captain) and to a lesser extent Kes, because she was on the show longer than Pulaski and Ezri.

Ezri does count and HAS been event crew. Waitress Ezri, Holograms are Forever, October 2016.

(HGH)Apollo

And Ezri is in every jadzia event as event related crew. We did get an archer in an event though.

Pulaski was not main cast, Ezri was.

We need an Archer mega event for sure. Failing that, a medical event with Archer, Kes and Scotty. Scotty and Archer with Med Primary, Kes with engineering. She can be the legendary.

I would so go for that, and I'm sure DB can make it happen! Go DB!

I'm sorry but I gotta get some therapy for that one. You had me til you started laying down the skills.

Pulaski was not main cast, Ezri was.

Pulaski was definitely main cast. For one season.

Crusher was gone and Pulaski took over as CMO. She featured in as many episodes as a CMO can and was intended to carry on as main cast if Gates McFadden didn't come back.

However she was always "Guest Starring", etc in the credits.

That's much more a contractual thing than anything else. She was the CMO, and featured in most episodes. That makes her main cast IMO.

Ezri was featured event as waitress Ezri in Holograms Are Forever expedition Oct 2016

I get both of your arguments, the deal seems to be over the semantics of "main cast".
Clanof seems to be operating from a TV casting perspective.
For Cardassia seems to be operating from a character-role-in-the-show perspective.

I personally operate from For Cardassia's PoV, if the character's role in the show was main crew (despite only appearing one season or whatever), and if the character has ample screentime to embody that role, then they are main crew to me. Screentime alone is often a big factor for me in considering how impactful any given crew was to the storyline in general.

Pulaski's role was Chief Medical Officer which is one of the highest ranking crew on a starship, she appeared on screen enough times to see her perform her role as intended, so therefore in my eyes she is main crew. Besides, she had a lot of screentime for just one season in general. "Main cast" is a misleading title for this perspective.

So all in all, I go by main crew, not main cast.

Just a reminder in advance of tomorrow's announcement.

This entire mega event is built around an event that focused on and was resolved by Captain Jonathan Archer. The most important person in the history of Star Fleet has never once been included in a STAT event. Your fans have been begging for one since this game started.

Please, please, PLEASE include Captain Archer in the next event.

S31

WE WANT ARCHER!!!

Preferably Kirshara or Katra Archer. And he would be WHAT THE HELL IS GOING OUT DOWN HERE, I need to clean this mess once again!!

S31

Although I can see how DB will say screw you and put NX Janeway in the last event instead of Archer.

DavideBooks

Or NX Burnham, the new 6*, 4 trait crew.

Pallidyne

If they do what they've done the last 2 megas, We'll probably see Archer or Kes next mega and the other the event after that.

They are the last 2 main cast of any Trek series not not have had an event.
The fact we got Scotty this time and Sato the previous seems to be the trend, but I know past performance does not guarantee future results.

[GoT] jess-gay

I'm calling it. The final 5' for this mega-event will be Kir'Shara Aenar Janeway. She has the Telepath trait twice.

Zombie Squirrel

I don t want Archer for nxt weeks event, please make the 5* a Discovery crew.

Lol you can have both if they put a 4* Archer in.

The wiki lists 88 events, so we're still 3 months away from that milestone. Do you hear that, DB? Start planning something special now, not the week of.
