And on top of that, we dont even get a 4/4 Paris, but only a 3/4, meaning he´s not only worse than most of the stuff we got, we also cant even freeze him unless we magically get a fourth one.
That's literally always the case with pure Faction events. You either have to gamble on packs, run a 4* citation, or pay 10$ if you want him now. Arguments about whether or not that's "fair" to any given person aside, it's decent business sense to give the average player an excuse to drop dil or money on these packs.
Well, I´d be tempted to spend 650 dili on a pack (or even buy a citation at some Point) if I know its worthwhile. With Paris, it isnt. Unless he instakills everything in the Arena, he has no place in my roster (and many Players that Play over a year now)
This version of Paris is the only version of him with DIP. Eventually this will be useful in a faction event where a high DIP version will be helpful. You might not like his stats (I think they're kinda weird) but that doesn't mean he isn't useful.
Also you're leaving DIL on the table. Unless you have 350+ immortals. Than grats on having 350 immortals.
The prospect of a future Event where Paris might be useful because of his 700 Diplomacy (and medic, which is a rare combination in Shuttles isnt that appealing.
If I wanted the 350 achievement (I´m at 247) quick, then I could rather do it with Greys. Also, a 3/4 Paris doesnt help me in that achievement (meaning you either must spend honor or Dilithium)
A brand new 5* character that can’t really be used on any of the shuttles for the event. No Dip/Sci combos.
This company is awful. Either incompetence or complete lack of planning/communication.
There’s no excuse for this. I hadn’t spent anything in a while. I feel like a sucker for doubling up on Sato.
While it is bad that there isn’t a shuttle to slot with dip and sci in that exact order, in any slot with dip first she or the new Paris depending on fusion will be the best possible crew for it.
And how on Qo'nos does Paris's Warp 10 Experimental Data boost DIP? Makes absolutely no sense. I have to believe this was supposed to be ENG, and someone dropped a bit in the code; then DB let it stand rather than admit to another freshman-level screw-up.
Did I miss something here? Mutated Paris's Medical Gown went from 3* (lvl 80) to 5* (lvl 90).
Is that normal? No 4* in between but its needed to build a 5*. What happened to equipment progression?
It's pretty typical these days. There's no rhyme or reason to it but there's been a consistent pattern of one of the tiers being skipped completely as an equipable item and only being used to build higher tiers.

I hadn't seen this yet as I haven't started working on the new Paris. Interesting. Makes me think they changed his primary stat at the last minute and some workarounds were created. The missions would make more sense if his primary skill were engineering, too.
Has there been anything said from DB regarding the uselessness of Sato and Paris due to lack of dip seats in missions? What's the point in purchasing packs for event crew if they can't be used?
How is it that the character who achieved warp 10 has no skill in engineering? As a pilot and leader of the mission, command seems more appropriate than diplomacy. It also seems like science would be more applicable than medicine, since he was the genetic anomaly being treated. Very weird stat choice for Mutated Paris...
I agree 100 percent. This is just ill-thought out.
I was thinking something similar when I first viewed his starting stats. I mean, he should have Command, Engineering, and Medical, NOT Diplomacy and Medical. Also, why that pose? It’s awful. The art is, as one player described it, meh, but the pose he’s in just makes it worse. Not as bad as Goonies Martok but close. Oh, and why’d they even make a Threshold Paris anyway? Don’t they know a lot of Voyager fans HATE that episode with the passion of a thousand suns? And seriously, he builds an engine that goes to warp ten and becomes a diplomat, sheesh.
It takes lot of diplomacy to continue to serve on the spaceship for 7 years after you kidnapped the boss and had three kids with her...
Imagine the dating pool after this...aren’t you the chap who left his kids (commitment issues)
Imagine the ladies he need to persuade that captain won’t be jealous that father of her progeny is Going out with lowly astrometrics officer...
Shan, is the build for Mutated Paris correct?
He never uses a 4* uniform, which is very odd. He uses FOUR 3* uniforms in a row, at levels 40, 50, 60 & 70 but never uses his 4* uniform, except to build his 5*.
Recent builds have followed
2*@20,30
3*@40,50

5*@80,90
Yeah as I think about it, I don't think I got a single DIP slot in my shuttles. I got tons of security, a few medicine, lots of command, science, and engineering though.

There was one 3-seater that had DIP slots. I think it may have been a Fed mission.

On the up side there are some sci only seats as well as dip only seats. And some ORs that contain Sci or Dip.
Same goes for Mutated Paris... no DIP and MED slots....

Btw, I hate your name, just because it’s a pain to try and spell out and I still couldn’t get the system to recognize it, lol.
Thanks Shan!
