Thoughts on Discovery Mega Event thus far
![[10F] Captain Lerysh](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030345/uploads/userpics/376/nGJ8E4OA0PL88.png)
I am quite enjoying this mega event so far. New discovery crew are being put as threshold rewards. A featured crew from past events is being utilized so there isn't a huge strain on new crew mates alone. Galaxy event community rewards has let me 4/4 Saru and will probably let me 4/4 Stamets. Free legendary crew are always a plus.
The only thing I still don't like is T'kuvma being the legendary we got rather than Desert Georgiou. If they had simply swapped places in the first event we would be working towards a legendary diplomat Starfleet captain instead of yet another CMD/SEC Klingon, a role I have covered in spades thanks to the Klingon mega event.

Hybrid faction/galaxy 2 events in a row, good for newbies bad for most other people. Then follow this up with the 3rd event being a galaxy, bad bad bad.
I do like the art for the discovery characters. Very stylish for the most part and a step up from the current trend.
Not giving people any info on bonus characters till a few days before first event, very bad. They have corrected this and I thank you very much for that, DB.
Also the variety. My game got halted last week because I chewed through all my credits, this week it was trainers I used up, and honor. Next week undoubtedly it will be chronitons. But these appear to be short lived bottle necks whereas before it was invariably chronitons. I think in general the game has improved though I miss the 3 skills we used to see on crew, they are fantastic for voyages.
In gameplay terms having voyages going during this event has helped it for me - all those extra chrons mean I'm really making headway in levelling characters, it feels like I can actually do something practical to prepare rather than just struggling along. Last week I managed to make something of a couple of Janeways I hadn't put much effort into, and they paid off; this week I've got T'Kuvma and Marla to a useful level; next week I expect I'll be able to turn a couple of my current low-level Ferengi into good contributors. So I feel like I'm able to actually make a choice about where to put my resources and see a solid result, rather than just having to take my chances with whatever my crew happens to be at the time. I'm feeling pretty rewarded by the game overall - the event's giving me weekly goals to work towards, and voyages are giving me the resources to actually meet them.
I am also appreciating getting USEFUL CREW.
I am also HATING the recurring galaxy events. HYBRID EXPEDITION PLEASE!
On the whole, i still LOVE STT.

We will get her this week or next one, question is...hair bun or wild hair?
A little bit awkward but with a heart of gold <- thats what really counts.
I like her very much, would love to see her as the first 6* Char ever.
Not a Native English speaker - be lenient toward me
Ahah. That’s the one single character I can’t stand in the new series...hope she will be a 3*. Then I can ignore her.
That was obviously bad timing.
However, this here is the point of the timing of the event. So when people in other threads have said that the event should have been postponed, cancelled, whatever - this is why that's not going to happen. They want the event to increase All Access subscriptions. I think it's safe to say that Discovery is critical to the success of All Access, and CBS is pulling out all the stops to gain subscribers.

i agree with all these items. i am also not a fan of the new artwork. i just want a new sarek and for the month to finish already.
Now I'm also excited for next week for the possibility to add stars to my Orion Slaver. If the pattern holds, he'll be the ranked reward. So hopefully everyone else will be tired of crafting items & I'll be able to do well enough to get the rewards I'm shooting for.
Why choose? DB should give us both!
For me by far the biggest disappointment has been that the STAR of a new Trek has been made available only for a limited time in a Worst Chance portal. That and all the Galaxy events have really dulled my enthusiasm for this Mega Event, the fact that it's also sloppy and bug riddled just adds to that.

T'Kuvma is underwhelming but he's not the first 5* to be so.
Information delay is unfortunate but again, nothing groundbraking. We're able to insta-level characters these days anyway.
Hoping they'll round up the rest of the Discovery crew by the end (guess that's only Tilly, Burnham and maybe the Doc). And I'm still hoping for a 4* version of Captain Georgiou.
And my obligatory defense of Neelix who was a well written character, if you bothered to look beyond the obvious
I miss expedition evens; they're the most engaging for me.
Please with factions, have it something that isn't Federation and/or Klingon. Or maybe swap the names on the factions of KCA and KE. Why is there no Vulcan or Borg faction?
I like galaxy but this many in a row means sitting some out.
The best part of the event for me so far is good SCI crew - Stamets and Saru. But are we going to get 3-skill crew again? DB's shift to 2-skill crew coinciding with the implementation of voyages is a bit odd.
Joining the choir, T'Kuvma is disappointing to me. 2 redundant skills on a redundant crew, and not even Diplomacy as his specialty was in the show. T'Kuvma should be DIP/CMD/SEC. Then he'd be a slightly less out-of-touch choice for the 4/5.
He's not "free". He's easy to acquire but still takes time, effort, resources, and space in crew quarters, for a redundant crew with redundant skills who most people don't really care for. The result is feeling compelled to make a character I don't remotely care for as a regular permanent crew, because he's been made a necessity for us (not by us).
This isn't at all what DB advertises on its front page, "assemble a crew of YOUR favourite characters." Yours. Not DB's favourite characters.
When there is a mega-event with a 4/5 crew who will become a staple in so many players' crew quarters, why not listen to the customers and the fan base?
No one character will be agreed upon by everyone, but might as well choose one which is inspiring and fun for most players. Upping fun for your player base can't be a bad thing. The 4/5 is the big motivational tool to get people excited and involved in the event. So many more people would spring for the double-your-crew offer too, for sure.
A giant tardigrade 5* Ripper would be awesome, unique, and fun.

FWIW, Admiral Kirk is DIP/COM, though he was released fairly recently, and might be reflective of the apparent changes. Captain Harriman also has the same two skills and has been in the game way longer, but he's not a main character.

Otherwise, the new characters are exciting and I managed to FF Saru and Stamets whilst skipping the galaxy portion.
Here's hoping that the final event is a faction and expedition with an exciting 5* reward like Burnham, Young Sarek, or Mudd. Then I will call it a success.
T'Kuvma fits the bill as a cultural figure, so it is grand that he is the recurring legendary. But it would have been better if he was DIP not CMD/SEC. Of course, it would have been better again if Sarek was the recurring legendary to give us an elite SCI crew member.
Hoping the Discovery doctor is added over the next two weeks as I need serious medical help. And we will need a bonus MED crew for the hopefully inevitable expedition event.
Also hoping that the final week is faction/expedition, or even pure expedition.
We will definitely be getting Sarek in that final week as the title mentions logic, with luck we will also get a 4* Burnham and the 5* Burnham will appear in recap pack that comes in the final week.
Hopefully, we will get a few more 2 and 3 star crew added over the next two weeks, and not just Cadet Nog & Brunt next week and 2* & 3* Spock the last week.
