Since the Caretaker was a hermit, I'd rule out command and diplomacy. His primary role was abducting starships (sec), maintaining the alien tech (eng) and looking out for the well being of the planet's inhabitants (med).
The new champion -- one of the single most-requested characters from our players -- will really take care of your Gauntlet enemies… with a banjo. Find out more on February 27th.
I wish there were other ways to "maximize your chance" of getting gauntlet characters aside from punishing RNG.
Yeah, I read "To maximize your chances to win Guinan..." and my brain immediately finished the sentence with "we're going to add a bonus chance to find her if you don't have one in your roster."
And then I read the rest of the sentence
Lol same here. Saw that and thought "oh, there going to bump the odds up or make a guaranteed drop at a certain rank"

Lol ~n~o~p~e~!
Yeah their advice was basically to play the gauntlet. Like no **tsk tsk** DB!
Does the Gauntlet crew ever drop at the end, or is it always on runs? If on runs, how many in a row do you need?
You need a streak of 300.
Kidding, but it sure feels that way.
G.M.E (gauntlet main event) had only ever dropped on streaks for me, ironically small ones.. between 6 & 12. I got 2 Guinans and 2 Locutus, never ever had either dropped in rank boxes post gauntlet.
Unless someone here claims otherwise, I honestly feel that the GMEs drop from rank boxes is broken.
I'll often rank in the top 10..
A few times top 5 and nada.
(Edited because Android swipe type auto correct is a juvenile little hamburger)
I don't understand...is the caretaker actually one of the most requested characters? Really?
He seemed pretty requested on the old forums. *shakes walking stick* waaay back when, we had to walk to school 15 miles uphills both ways, in the SNOW!
Admiral of the Haus of GaghGagh, Starbase level 94, we are not accepting members at this time.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
I'm glad its the Caretaker, so when my RNG goes south and I don't get him, It's not so harsh a thing.
Now I've got 0 Locutus and 3 Guinan, so who knows what I'll get this time.
My question is will Guinan become available in another fashion like a 30k Gauntlet Round Achievement or the Honor Hall.
She should become that.
Also, fun note, I'm in the same boat as you. 0 Locuti, 3 Guinans.
Last time I earned a Guinan was probably like October of last year, haven't been able to pull another one since.

here he is!!! one of your most requested star trek characters!!!!
This was actually my first thought, and I'd much prefer him to the Caretaker. Somebody up at DB must be a really big fan of Voyager, but it's a no thanks from me.
For all those asserting that The Caretaker has not been a popularly wanted new addition to the game, back when we conducted a Poll for who we would like to have added next to the Honor Hall following Kahless the Unforgettable, The Caretaker received 23 of 161 votes (14%); Mariachi Q, who received the most votes (and was given to all players by DB recently), had 31.
My guess is the second place finisher in the voting – Surak (with 30 votes) – will end up being the next Honor Hall character. The only other character who received more votes than The Caretaker was Captain Beverly Picard (26 votes).
I know DB doesn't typically make decisions that are logical, but we do need a high roller ENG character. The Caretaker was an engineer, sort of. I'm hoping to see a high proficiency ENG rating. That's all I want, DB.
My hope is that the ENG proficiency is 700 minimum.
I actually hope we do not get a high proficiency roll Engineering character added to the game. I am currently in a Gauntlet where Engineering is the featured skill, and I find these to be the most interesting/enjoyable Gauntlets we have, precisely because there is not one dominant character for everyone to put up into a ‘wall’. Instead you see a lot more variety, as there is a diverse group of decent proficiency crew to choose from, allowing players to be more strategic about their Gauntlet crew selections.

I might actually prefer a space hippy! Those leggings are brutal!
Is there likely to be a way for those of us who have not been luck to get her?

But that's throwing logic at this, so who knows?
Totally agree, DB are Politicians they think if they say 'make it so' we'll fall hook line and sinker!
Let me guess DIP/SEC/CMD
DB Don't **** on me and tell me it's raining!
Species 8472? No royalties to pay there
I'm sure 'Spot' Data's cat is more asked for than The Caretaker.
ENG SCI MED!

I have gotten 7 gauntlet rares to drop (5 Guinan, 2 Locutus). I believe I got 1 Locutus and 1 Guinan from streak boxes, the rest were from T10 boxes.
It probably won't happen no matter how often you stand outside but it is the BEST chance of it happening

Pppppppllllllss
I've had 2 drop on a 3 streak and 1 on a 6 streak. Most of mine have dropped from streaks, not end prizes.
This wouldn't surprise me at all. Move over, Leonardo!

But it will be Decorated Burnham from finale scene of Discovery s1
Vulcan loot :P
Yea maybe they mean one of our most requested combos, ENG SCI MED.
Do it DB!
