    Count me among those who find it super-sketchy that DB can't just run a poll on their own site/forums, and instead requires you to have a separate sign-up to vote in this poll..... it might have something to do with preventing multiple votes from one person or something, but still...

    For me, the poll isn't even really about picking a Mega Event. It's about picking general favorites, and maybe a mega-event will service you.

    I refuse to jump through DB's extra hoops, so if they choose to anecdotally add my opinion, it is this:

    (1) Other than Uhura (Mirror) there has been zero TOS involvement in any Mega-Event.
    (2) This is very wrong.
    (3) Unless they are counting Sarek and Harry Mudd's DSC versions.
    (4) Which is even more wronger, if they are.
    (5) So how about some TOS, already?
    (6) T'Pau for Event 5* (huge DIP, secondary SCI). Alternative: The Guardian of Forever (all stats Maximum~!).
    (7) Other crew: Captain/Movie Spock, Romulan Sarek (and how about making an overall Romulan sub-plot,too?), Squire of Gothos, Bela Oxmyx, Jojo Krako, Scotty's Lawyer, Kirk's Lawyer, Both Deckers, Mr. Atox, Gary Seven, Balok, Shopping Cart Pike, and of course, Spock's Brain. In no particular order.

    I say all of this as a person who was born after the first two Star Trek movies came out, but who had a dad that made sure I was versed in the classics before I could get all super-nerdy about NextGen...

    I understand your intent but a small clarification. They did have Dress Uniform Scotty. He is from TOS , was a 5 star and a heavily requested character to have more versions introduced to the game.
    Sincerely,

    Maybe the irony is that we play because we’re Star Trek fans, those hopeful idealists that like to think things will get better when we raise valid concerns about fairness and balance, etc and we forget that DB’s greed openly mocks the values espoused by the franchise they have a license

  • I've tried the poll twice, keep getting message poll is down or moved. My vote is not that important. ..apparently.
  • Interesting. No choice for DSC as favourite series.

    Borg and Klingon were our first two mega events. We really don't need part twos for those. Federation was technically the Discovery mega event and this past mega event with Andorians and Vulcans, so no real need there either.

    I voted Dominion because I would love more Jem'Hadar, Vorta, Founders, and Breen. But...where are the Romulans!!!???
    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.

    TOS and Augments! Where is Section 31 in all this? It's the most wanted faction in my opinion.
  • I like that DB ask the players what they’d like to see in the next mega event.
    I went with TNG.
    What I didn’t like was the choice of factions.
    Boring & there wasn’t an option for none of the above so had to choose the least undesirable one.

    I voted TOS and Augments. A Kirk/Khan event would be nice

    Dominion War event based on the Romulan involvement with this guy as the 5*.

    He meets the epic fail test that all Mega Recurrings seem to require.

    While I really like the idea of the poll I wish the would rather give options. I selected DS9 as my favorite show simply because I would like to see Dominion War Mega Event. Would be cool if they gave options like Dominion War or Species 8472 vs Borg or stuff like that. I think it would make it harder. We just did a Mirror Mega Event and I get that people weren't super happy with that but I would rather avoid another similar one.

    By saying "Summer" is that an indication that the mega event schedule is going to slow down to quarterly? After the first mega event, there was a two month break until the next one. Since the Klingon event, we have had Mega events every other month. I think many would agree the most recent one felt the most uninspired and least cohesive.

    Either they are slowing down on them or they've already picked the theme / characters for the next one and this will be for the one after.

    Mine didn't ask me to register a new account.
    Only that I had to use my game associated email address for my vote to count (as did wife)

    We voted yesterday as soon as it was posted on Twitter.

    I think this is probably more the case. Frankly I also think it might be indicative of something like the Romulans as the next Mega. Either that or their Survey didn't allow more entries on their form.
  • I voted TOS and Augments. Just hoping that we could get a Mega Event Captain Spock or Khan

    I feel like most people are voting for either DS9/Dominion or TOS/Augments.

    In both cases it sounds like it should be good :)

    Most likely result would be either DS9/Augments (Bashirs, Bashirs, ALL the Bashirs! And all the Kukalakas!) or TOS/Dominion (Changeling Kirk, Changeling Spock, Changeling Uhura, Changeling Everybody).

    I actually doubt they are slowing down.

    I would expect the current schedule to be:

    March: Rerun/single event month ("Normal" Month)
    April: Mega Event
    May: Normal Month
    June: Mega Event (The one we're voting on now)

    If they DO go to a quarterly approach (which I would hope for), we might see:

    March: Normal Month
    April: Normal Month
    May: Mega Event
    June: Normal Month
    July: Normal Month
    August: Mega Event

    The problem with the latter schedule is that we wouldn't get the event we're voting on until August because May doesn't normally qualify as a Summer month.

    I suppose they could really change things up and go three months w/o a mega, but we haven't seen a break that long since they started doing them.

    Maybe they'll add Kukalaka as crew.

    On the plus side, DS9/Augments means we'd get all of Bashir's friends, which means Admiral Patrick! :P

    What I hope DB considers is to use the polling data to drive more than one mega, so that some of the runners up get some sun as well to make even more of the player base happy that their vote counted.

    Just wait and see them turn the poll on it's head and give us a Most Disliked (or least wanted) Mega. ;)

  • Grant77Grant77 ✭✭✭✭
    I wonder if the lack of Romulans and Vulcans in the poll is an indication that they will be featured in the next mega event between now and the one we are voting on.

    Well, Vulcans were in the last Mega with Kung Fu Sarek

    I was originally pumped for a DS9/Dominion event (perhaps my most wanted mega-event), but now a DS9/Augment event with Admiral Patrick as the recurring legendary is the clear frontrunner for me.

    THAT'S A STUPID QUESTION.

    Plus he'd probably have great ENG/SCI/CMD stats. And no diplomacy.
