Collection Difficulty Comparison
Peachtree Rex
✭✭✭✭✭
I wanted to do a bit of comparisons on how difficult each collection was to complete. For my initial post, I'm just going to look at star level, though I acknowledge other factors also impact it as well. (if something has been an event character, if it's in the portal, how hard a character is to level, etc).
There will, likely, be issues with counting as I'm manually looking through my own vault. Please let me know of any corrections needed.
Common Crew
Crew Requirement: 1* Crew
# Available: 27
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 25
Commentary:
Not much to say here. These are all 1*. It's a matter of waiting for voyages and sniping them from credit packs.
Uncommon Crew
Crew Requirement: 2* Crew
# Available: 41
# Required: 40
Rarity Breakdown:
2* : 41
Commentary:
This requires nearly all of the 2*s available. Currently, I believe Gaia Odo is not dropping from Voyages or credit packs, so you would need to have either immortalized him at original release or get all of the other 2*s.
Rare Crew
Crew Requirement: 3* Crew
# Available: 72
# Required: 60
Rarity Breakdown:
3* : 72
Commentary:
Again, not much to say here as they all have the same rarity. Jazz Riker isn't available from packs, yet, but there's a lot more wiggle room with 72 available vs. 60 required.
The Wild West
Crew Requirement: Dressed for Earth's Ancient West era
# Available: 6
# Required: 6
Rarity Breakdown:
4* : 3
5* : 3
Commentary:
This looks to be, intentionally, the hardest collection. Of the three 4*s, only one was an event character (Claiborne Chekov) with the others appearing in packs only. Fortunately, none of the persistent buffs are tied to this collection.
Resistance Is Futile
Crew Requirement: Borg trait
# Available: 17
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
2* : 1
3* : 1
4* : 6
5* : 9
Commentary:
This will be much easier if you participated in the Borg Mega Event. A minimum of two of the 5*s are needed to complete it. Locutus was the first Gauntlet card and is available from completing 20k gauntlet rounds, but would still need to be starred-up.
The Eugenics Wars
Crew Requirement: Augment trait
# Available: 12
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 1
2* : 1
3* : 1
4* : 3
5* : 6
Commentary:
There's no way around it, this is, likely, one of the harder ones. It requires 4 5*s to complete, and many of those have never been through an event. Pure speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an Augment-themed mega event in the near future to make this one a bit more achievable.
The Neutral Zone
Crew Requirement: Romulan trait
# Available: 12
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 1
2* : 1
3* : 2
4* : 7
5* : 1
Commentary:
Similar to the Augment collection, this trait is bound for some expansion. There are more 4*s available, making it a bit easier to assemble, but only 12 crew leaves minimal wiggle room.
Rules of Acquisition
Crew Requirement: Ferengi trait
# Available: 15
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 2
2* : 2
3* : 2
4* : 5
5* : 4
Commentary:
This one is reachable without fully fusing a 5*. Niners Rom hasn't seen an event, but drops from Voyages.
Chain of Command
Crew Requirement: Cardassian trait
# Available: 21
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 1
2* : 2
3* : 4
4* : 5
5* : 10
Commentary:
This has even more low-rarity support than the Ferengi collection as well as more high-rarity. However, many of those 5*s have been pack-only.
Live Long and Prosper
Crew Requirement: Vulcan trait
# Available: 31
# Required: 10
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 2
2* : 1
3* : 6
4* : 13
5* : 9
Commentary:
This was the only collection I had completed "out of the box". With 22 characters available below the 5* rarity, this should be one of the easiest ones to assemble.
Do No Harm
Crew Requirement: Doctor trait
# Available: 39
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 2
2* : 2
3* : 7
4* : 17
5* : 11
Commentary:
There is a good base of low level characters to get you going. While 5*s aren't, technically, required, many of these 4*s haven't seen an event, so fusing them up all the way will take time.
Valor in Combat
Crew Requirement: Veteran trait
# Available: 36
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
2* : 1
3* : 3
4* : 19
5* : 13
Commentary:
This will require 2 5*s minimum with current crew. Fortunately, Mirror Picard and Kortar are two of them, so it may be a bit more achievable than at first blush. It is missing a bit of the low-end rarity support, though.
The Daystrom Award
Crew Requirement: Innovator trait
# Available: 32
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 1
3* : 8
4* : 12
5* : 11
Commentary:
Getting to 15 threshold shouldn't be too difficult for this one. But getting all the way to 25 will take some work (and at least 4 5*s).
Spit and Bailing Wire
Crew Requirement: Jury Rigger trait
# Available: 29
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
1* : 1
2* : 3
3* : 3
4* : 12
5* : 10
Commentary:
This calls for a minimum of 5 5*s (and all but 4 of the existing ones). It's likely we will need to see more Jury Riggers before many people are able to complete this.
New Life and New Civilizations
Crew Requirement: Diplomat trait
# Available: 35
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
2* : 2
3* : 5
4* : 14
5* : 14
Commentary:
4 5*s required here with some good support from the 3* ranks. With a lot more available, this should be one of the easier trait collections.
To Boldly Go
Crew Requirement: Inspiring trait
# Available: 44
# Required: 25
Rarity Breakdown:
2* : 3
3* : 1
4* : 15
5* : 25
Commentary:
There are a lot of options for Inspiring. Unfortunately, very few of them are at the lower rarity tiers, requiring 6 5*s with current crew to achieve the top end.
There will, likely, be issues with counting as I'm manually looking through my own vault. Please let me know of any corrections needed.

I've completed 4 ... with the Vulcan one being strangely easy to complete. I'm glad there are some really difficult ones (for me the Augment and Wild West ones) in the set, gives nice long-term goals.
They've left quite some space for future development (e.g. Klingon trait, specific series etc. etc.).
I said elsewhere that I am amazed that it took two years for something of this sort to be released.
...and I think that's a GOOD thing. If this was something most players turned on and had everything completed, then I would say something was wrong (or that it was tuned way-way too easy).
As it stands, this is something for people to work towards. In most cases, you'll have to wait for more characters to be released. As the game grows, it would be very easy for collections to grow as well, but for additional rewards in existing ones as well as new collections.
I have about 5 left for the uncommon crew
Certainly those requiring multiple 5*s are out for me, until they add more characters.

Others have put those together, I didn't want to clutter this with that sort of information. I think it's pretty clear that the ones that cap out at 10 are all similar to each other. The ones that cap out at 25 are all similar to each other. And the remaining ones (1*/2*/3*/Cowboys) are all a little unique.
Thanks for putting this together Rex. I've just got him and Festive Dax remaining...might be a long wait.

I completed 6 collections on the first day, including the cadet ones, medical, and Ferengi/Cardassian. I'm on Romulan away, but my 1/4 T'Rul and Nevesa probably won't be immortal be anytime soon.
Klingon, Bajoran, and Mirror Universe collections seem like obvious next steps.

He's a threshold reward this week, so that should help...
Yes, yes it will.
Jadzia Dax is another elusive 2* crew. I, and several others, have been searching the basic portal and voyages for her.
One of my fleetmates used 98 10x pulls he had saved up, and did not get a single Festive Jadzia Dax (or Gaia Odo, for that matter).
I’ve personally used more than 10 million credits on 10x basic pulls, on top of the free 10xs I’ve gotten from daily rewards and event thresholds. Still no Festive Jadzia Dax. (: So, she’s another elusive one to add to your list.
Edit: Forgot to say thank you for the work you’ve put into this! (:
The Wraith of Khan
Featuring Pah-Wraith Cult Dukat and Wrathful Khan
Or maybe not too long, since Gaia Odo is going to be an event personnel this weekend! So everybody should be able to quickly and easily FF him. ;-)
I've been holding on to T'Rul for ages and finally just FF her recently. The Romulan pack was the final incentive I needed to FE her. I also have Alidar 3/4 from the event months ago so I'm going to FE him and citation him to finish the pack off. I would love to get Nevesa but she has never dropped when in a pack for me.
Since it's by trait, I think in some instances we'll see new characters released that will fill in more spots.
