    well i've never done this well before in a faction only event...

    And I kinda like it that there arent obvious ideal slots to brainlesly drop in the ultimate character, instead you have to shuffle 20 odd characters around a bit to figure which combinations give you the best overall chances for 4 shuttles... After the previous set got back I was at 185th place in rankings, thats pretty well for a VIP0 eh? (and i didnt use any more boosts etc that i usually do either, so bit of thinking can get you far in these cases, and bunch of bonus crew of course)

    Yup, was excited to have Sato leveled and ready to go. But disappointed and pretty mad that I can use her. It's fine if I could trust the shown percentages but I know the AND shuttle missions never match my recorded numbers unless the crew has both skills. There should have been several diplomacy/science and diplomacy/medical missions to select.

    Exactly. Since i started to only place crew in AND slots that match BOTH skills, even if displayed percentage is lower, i had no more issues with 90%+ shuttles failing as much as before. This event i had 2 failures, out of 70+ sent 90%+ shuttles, which seems fine.

    It is as Sisko says, if you place a crew in an AND slot that only matches 1 skill, the displayed success chance is too high, even worse if you have a strong skill boost applied before. Its really easy to test this out on ur own.

    Choice is up to you. So what do you prefer to run?

    A 95%+ shuttle with crew that doesn t matches both skills of the AND slots and because of this the success chance is displayed wrong, and maybe only 80% or lower.

    OR

    You run a 90% shuttle with crew that matches both AND slot skills but at least the displayed success chance is CORRECT.

    Is everyone with high failure rates using crew with the first or second as their primary stat on and slots? As an example my theory is that while mirror phlox shows the same percentage in a sec and med versus med and sec, the sec and med percentage is calculated incorrectly on the server side compared to the displayed rate.

    I’ve stuck to first stat primary only and have literally not failed a shuttle yet.

    I've done the same, though have failed a few shuttles. That and I'm running the 4 3 seater missions with only one non-bonus/event crew (Kortar) and I think only Thresh Paris having to only match the first stat...
  • Is it not reasonable to assume that the main event crew , should match at least several of the crew slots for the event missions....
    This weeks Research Partners.
    legendary Sato... Dip/SCI.. = no fully matching mission slots.
    Mutated Paris Dip/med.. = 1 matching mission slot
    Mirror Phlox… 1 matching slot and 1 reversed skilll slot.
    Lots of sec and eng slots but no main event crew with those skills as the main trait.
    Surely the point of purchasing crew /collecting rewards is to improve your chances of success in the faction mission.
    I’m not a Vulcan so maybe I’m missing some logic in DB execution of this event. However as a human , I see either a complete lack of thought process behind this event or lack of quality control and quality checking before the event was released. Either way I’m starting to understand some players frustration and why they’re considering quitting or have quit the game because they feel their expectations are not being met fairly or the financial cost of playing is no longer fairly balanced. I mean nearly £100 for a main event pack in which the main legendary crew doesn’t fully match the mission slots... in 12 missions...Really !!
    This is not rocket science DB. If you want to retain players then play fair and balance the cost of what we pay to play evenly.


    @Shan @Black Pebble This should not happen in an event where a 4* event crewmember is more useful than the 5* event crewmember for the specific event shuttles.

    This really needs to be sorted for future events.
