Best use of 50k honor?

✭✭✭✭✭
I've got 15 some 5* crew that are have either 1 or 2 stars on them. I also have gotten up to 50k available honor (I say available because I'm sitting on the 100K for the next honor hall character).
Am I better off to spend the honor to get one of them another star, or using the honor to purchase a 5* behold?
And... if I use honor to get another star, how do I ever decide which one should get the star?
For what it's worth, my 5*s are:
Lt. Commander La Forge - 1*
T'Kuvma - 4*
Locutus - 1*
Kortar - 2*
Kahless - 1*
Admiral Riker - 1*
Admiral Kirk - 1*
Away Team Saru - 1*
Will Scarlett - 1*
Kal-if-fee Kirk - 1*
Alternate Future Bashir - 1*
Mobile Doctor - 1*
Mariachi Q - 1*
Mirror Bashir - 1*
Convergence Day Quark - 1*
Crell Moset - 1*
Suus Mahna Sarek - 1*
Assimilated Janeway - 1*
Dahar Master Kang - 1*
Arachnia Janeway - 2*
Enterprise-E Picard - 1*
Changeling Founder - 1*
Edited to add... Obviously one thought is to finish T'Kuvma... but it's not like I'm going to send him to the freezer when he's in my top 3 command and security right now. And the crew slot is not currently a huge need to free up.

Mirror Bashir apparently is also one of the top rated engineers as well, which is really good for voyages. But same goes with La Forge.
Personally, depending on your stats, I'd go with an engineer for now as I have an FFFE Cornwell and an AOS crusher, so my engineering is worse off than any others ATM.
I would never use honor to purchase a behold.

I've been holding since...November? Almost up to 400k honor now...
Edit: And don't burn it on T'Kuvma. It may be tempting, but his FF stats are really paltry compared to some of the others you could start working up (Assimilated Janeway, Kahless, and Kortar come to mind).

- 54,000 Honor can be used to FF one of the Voyages only crew, if you get one to drop from the Dilemmas
2. T'Kuvma. Yes, he's Com/Sec. Yes, he's 2-stat. It's still 300 points of base on quite powerful character that can easily fit on shuttles in event and is quite useful on Voyages, especially if you luck on Com/Sec but even on Com and Sec separately
3. Kortar already have 2, but you may prefer Locutus or Kahless. Safe choices.
Rest don't give big increase of usefulness immediately.
Well, honestly I would say spend all 150 and make Kortar 5/5 then start saving again - he would increase tempo of said saving through voyages.
I use him every day on shuttle missions, where he only takes a backseat to the Borg Queen on COM and both Kortar and Mirror Picard on SEC. I'll put him in a COM or SEC-heavy voyage if a trait lines up (especially Hero or Spiritual), and even use him in the gauntlet if two traits are featured.
So yes, OP could ultimately FF Kahless, Kortar, or Assimilated Janeway and ultimately be ahead...in a couple of months? Longer? In the meantime, why not improve a useful character, make some progress on the immortalization achievement, prepare for future collections, and spend a citation on someone who will not be appearing in a regular legendary behold?
When looking at a character in a vacuum, I weight voyage stats a LOT higher than base shuttle stats. Rewards from voyages are much better and base stats for T'Kuvma won't improve your shuttles a ton unless you run out of event crew.
What should be pretty clear from this comparison is that Kahless - 2 Stars is about equivalent to T'Kuvma. That is why I'm very down on fusing him.
That might be a good idea. If you airlock a Voyage Only crew, can you then get them back in Voyages? I pulled Lucien, and now I have no idea what to do with him.
It looks like Kahless at 3 stars is equivalent to T’Kuvma, not 2 stars. And at three stars, Kahless costs 200,000 honor, which could have been used by someone who only hit 25k VP a single time in any of the events in the first Discovery Mega to FF T’Kuvma. Then it’s another 100,000 to finish Kahless...for those of us who got T’Kuvma to 4/5* in the event and used a citation to finish him, the honor cost to FF is only 50,000.
FF Kahless: 3455 skill points for 300,000 honor = 86.8 honor per skill point
FF T’Kuvma: 2794 skill points for 50,000 honor = 1.8 honor per skill point.
Again, I’m not arguing that T’Kuvma isn’t objectively worse than Kahless and many others, just that he is far more cost-effective to immortalize and still provides a benefit in shuttles, some voyages, and rare gauntlets. Particularly to those who can’t afford Kahless or other top-shelf crew.
Supposedly its a drop once and never again.
Legendary beholds are very risky. Sure, you get a 10% discount, but there are a LOT of bad 5*s out there. If you do 10 legendary beholds, if 2 aren't useful, you were better off citing your best character.
Crap. Now I don't want to Airlock Lucien, but I also don't want to drop 54k Honor to get him to the freezer.
Others have disputed that, saying they have had multiples.
That's both funny and uncalled for.
I don’t see any flags in this thread. Does that mean it is someone I have blocked? If so, I can narrow it down to two people.
... Bev doesnt even enter my thinking for now
Flag for Spam is no longer a thing--- just Report flags which don't increment on the post.
I asked about it since my Flag count in my profile zeroed out. (I had 5, funny, every flag I had had at least 2 awesomes too, I used to click on them just for chuckles.)
Kahless is ridiculous in voyages. Him at 1/5 makes the cut for me sometimes.
I believe I have two flags but in my defense the guy A.) was flag happy and B.) totally deserved what I said
