Collections and Events

UPDATED THROUGH "THE BUTCHERS OF BETA PENTHE"
Collections have made us reevaluate the value of the reward crew in events. Those 2* threshold and 3* rank reward crew members all of a sudden have a greater function beyond cadet challenges, for instance, and as they're generally easier to complete, they can pad our stats relatively quickly. Here's how helpful the events played since the introduction of collections have been.
NOTE: Totals reflect number of possible collections at the time the event was played. Should additional collections are created later, I probably won't update stats retroactively, as that would not reflect their collection value at the time of the event, when players have to make immediate decisions about whom to keep.

It would be nice to have new event crew added that help fill collections and without chasing stars in packs
Augments is a horrible collection to complete. Half of the collection seems to be golds. Hopefully this will change in the future, and I think Borg is even worse with over half being gold.
At least with the Romulans you can already complete the collection without needing to complete a single gold card.
I imagine the Summer Mega will be a good one for the Augments collection. I sometimes wonder if that played into some of the voting.
You're probably on to something there.
I voted Augments. It didn’t play into it for me.
True, but if we think things forward, Mutated Paris has 7 Traits, and so I think there is a good chance he will end up falling into at least one Collection in the future. If I had to make a guess, I particularly think we will eventually get a Collection for Pilots.
This is a good point, and should add another layer to airlocking decisions.
That's the very reason I phrased it the way I did ("existing collections")!
EDIT TO ADD
I revised the OP to include a note acknowledging potential future collections.
Augments require 4x Golds. Borg only requires 2x Golds (one of which could be the Queen). Augments do have more potential for the future.
Also worth noting is that this will be the third event in 2018 to include Acting Nagus Brunt in the rank rewards.
Also of note is that Recovering Spock was also included in the first event of April's mega-event, making his second event appearance of 2018 and his fifth overall.
