    Incidentally, Bashir is the only crew member who can cover all six skills:

    CMD - Alternate Future Bashir; CMO Bashir; Racquetball Bashir
    DIP - Bashir, Julian Bashir
    ENG - Changeling Bashir; Mirror Bashir
    SEC - Bashir, Julian Bashir; Changeling Bashir; Mirror Bashir; RAF Julian Bashir
    MED - Alternate Future Bashir; Bashir, Julian Bashir; Changeling Bashir; CMO Bashir; Racquetball Bashir
    SCI - Alternate Future Bashir; Racquetball Bashir

    No, Changeling Bashir isn't actually Julian Bashir; for that matter, neither is Mirror Bashir. They both count as Bashir variants in events, though, and that's all that matters when it comes time to use skills.

    There are a few others who can cover five skills, but no one else can do all six. I keep waiting for a Benjamin Sisko wearing the red shouldered uniform who has ENG (he did help design the U.S.S. Defiant, after all, and was instrumental in getting the I.S.S. Defiant up and running).

    Faux Mirror Sisko? (i'd love the character, just not sure how he'd be labeled)

    Saratoga Sisko would probably work too.

    Explorers Sisko, who singlehandedly built a Bajoran light ship, gets my vote for engineering Sisko.

    Me too, but spare a thought for Crazy Clockbuilding Sisko.

    It's actually super weird we don't have a Sisko with any engineering, given how much engineering his character did both on the show and in terms of backstory. I chalk it up to him being so overwhelmingly wonderful at command and negotiation and combat that it's easy to forget he's also had long experience on the engineering side of things too.

    Man Sisko's awesome.

    He actually is.

    He's also a god.

    So there's that.

    Seriously though, he should have an ENG variant, he did actually do a lot of that. And given his archaeological interests in Bajor, he could arguably have a SCI variant, from the episode with the ancient Bajoran obelisk thing. And an "Emissary" or "Prophet" version could have MED too.

    Sisko Mega-Event when?

    Not soon enough.

    Current crew with the Exobiology trait:

    - Festive Jadzia Dax
    - Klingon Bride Jadzia
    - Lt Commander Jadzia Dax
    - Lt Jadzia Dax

    - M-113 Creature
    - Mora Pol
    - The Keeper
    - Yarnek

    That is great you've been given the information sooner. Is there a way to have the stats for the new characters released early on, too? I like to decide on what way to go with keeping people/going for an event, etc.

    There's plenty of stories about these things and you'll find that the main cast members aren't all diplomats and security and command. Spock McCoy and Scotty set the scene for that right from the first episodes!

    With the exception of Burnham, all of the lead actors are usually CSD. Main cast characters cover all of the skills but not simultaneously and sometimes they end up being CSD (ex Durango Troi).

    There are times when some characters should be more diverse then they appear in game. Sisko, Riker, Reed and Worf not having ENG for example. There are also times when characters lack CSD skills they should probably have. No version of McCoy has CMD despite being CMO.

    There are also plenty of other crew anomalies. Last night I realized there are two Sc/S/M crew in game. This might seem like a small deal but virtually every MED character you're likely to see on the shows is very often a capable SCI character as well. You'd think we'd see a variety of x/Sc/M crew for that reason but we don't. I don't think this requires an immediate fix but its one part of the crew release puzzle.

  • This is a really strange one. Were people clamoring for these versions of Paris and Sato? Surely there were many other options. Maybe I am in the minority here, but since I have Phlox FF/FE, it's a weekend off for me, which is great, since in recent weeks I've accumulated a ton of new crew I need to level.

    The game has, and to a degree needs, filler characters. If they released cards by popularity or merit, it would become painfully obvious as the game slipped towards only adding strange one-shots.

    That said, Threshold has a hell of a lot of infamy, and we need more Satos any way you slice it, so I'm on board with these two.
  • And everyone has been asking for reruns, so having a couple with existing crew is a step closer while still keeping it fresh.

    I agree. While wildly underrepresented, they chose a Hoshi that isn’t even Hoshi, she’s consumed by a whole other being. I was hoping the next Hoshi was going to be from the episode “Civilization” where she was disguised as an Akalli.

    First of all, I'll take Threshold Paris if he has great stats, and maybe even to troll fleet chat with my avatar. Unless that comment gets me kicked out.

    That said ...

    Probably in the same way as new Janeways, Burnhams and Rikers have been asked about - sarcastically. Threshold is one of the infamously worst episodes of Voyager. I'm not sure many people would want a constant reminder of that in their crew rosters. But then again, this week's Paris will make next week's Pale Moonlight Sisko all the sweeter (*hint*, *hint*)!

    I'd say most of the Threshold Paris/Janeway requests we're probably in jest, but I've definitely seen serious requests for the Loque'eque versions of both Sato and Archer. I'm sure that has more to do with the dearth of versions of those characters than anything else, but they've definitely been requested.
  • Going off the cryo vault Hoshi's got science and diplomacy. Paris is diplomacy and medicine.

    I thought at least one of them would have triple stats. I still love Hoshi and Threshold too much to pass any up, but... Bleh.

    *confused*

    I did actually like the Loque'eque episode on ENT though, and I'm glad we're getting more Hoshi, including this version. I recall asking for her, as did some others when suggesting Hoshi variants. I would have probably preferred another variant first, but I don't mind this addition.

    Lizard Paris on the other hand...and the cryo art suggests he'll even still be in his humanoid form. I was hoping at least they'd go full ridiculousness and add him in his final lizard form.

    Eww. Dude modifies a shuttle to go faster than humans have ever gone before, breaking the speed of everything to occupy every point in space simultaneously and instead of ENG or SCI he has DIP and MED?

    I mean, by the time he's turning into a lizard he wasn't exactly concerned with such things. But I agree he should have had ENG and SCI.

    In the end, I'm glad he doesn't. Because I want to be able to airlock him without much thought.

    Exactly. Kidnapping your captain to have lizard sex with her is dip all day long.

    Darn straight!

    He also has MED, for when he...does...things

    Gonna stop this line of thought now

    Lizard sex is also a straight up science to pull off... not that I know of such things

    *puts on biologist hat*

    It's actually not that bad compared to something like duck sex, or most bird sex/mating actually. It's amazing those creatures reproduce at all.

    For lizards I'd say the skillset would be more CMD/SEC. DIP/SEC for the females.

    With the whole reminder that Lizard Janeway was in jest, I would like to say that I am actually serious about Stripey Shirt Janeway, but I’d like her as a 1, 2, or 3 star variant.

    Also, I was hoping Paris would be a full on lizard and I was also hoping for Eng or Sci, dang it.

    Also, I’d like to have Loque’eque Sato... *ducks*

    As long as we get a Stripey Shirt Paris, and make them fusable into Checking Out Janeway's Rack Paris.

    Having Paris be a full lizard was the only redeeming hope I had. Alas...

    And feel no shame at wanting Loque'eque Sato.
