What baffles my mind is that they think they make more money selling crew slots than packs! Crew slots are a one and done deal, and even at their outrageous price, due to frequency of availability, make far less than pack sales.
Meanwhile, we KNOW for a FACT, that limited slots is limiting pack buying. Many, many of us here have stated that, many in my fleet have stated it, people I've spoken with in other fleets have stated it, and I personally don't buy packs due to the limited slots and diminished into oblivion returns on packs. I bought fewer packs because of no crew slots before the diminishing returns stopped purchases.
Yup, first thing I checked with today's offer of ZC was if a slot came with it, nope -> I stopped reading.
Excellent song. Love it. With 2-4 new crew average per week really. Its overkill and keeping up is too much preasure. Alot of ppl r getting burnt out on the influx of new crew without slots, and re-runs r nice for those who need more *’s to complete. Its a constant grind. Slow the roll, give more slots, ppl will be excited again instead of burnt out.

Giiiive... us some slots.... PLEASE... Disruptor BEAM!
Give us some SLOTS! Alllll RIGHT?!
Cause we're all... in the mood. For. Some.... Collecting,
But our... space... is just TOO........... Finite!
Today they are trying to "gift" us a Chochrane for ten pounds (not exactly my idea of a gift but that's another subject). I would like to buy but cannot due to coming up against the crew slot wall again (140 slots all full). Many more characters to come in this mega event. So they are missing out on my tenner.
It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my crew slot is finally full.
And I will see my crew immortalized at last. I will touch the vault.
Two stars out of four aren't gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.
Cause I've got honors for the citation.
I'm going where my honor will take me.
I've got faith to fully fuse. I can level anything.
I've got strength of the replicator. And no one's gonna get airlocked.
I can reach cryostasis.
I've got faith.
I've got faith, faith of the honor.

I’ve gotta say all these songs songs and creativity I was very impressed with. I am really surprised it didn’t work. Please DB, have a heart 💜 show some love here!

As someone pointed out in the now closed thead about nerfed voyages... “You end up sounding like the crew slot beggars who feel entitled to something just for showing up.”
I take exception to the judgemental and negative connotations of using the term “beggar”. As we are creating and performing music, the more accurate description should be “crew slot buskers”. However, the “beggar” comment reminds me of another song.
Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for some Slots to call mine
Cause they can’t buy some Slots
The whale in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor FTP lady’s eyes
Just for fun he says, 'Buy some Slots’
That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them
Gift in German means Poison, maybe it went through the wrung translator. Yeah, it was not a gift purr say, butt it was one of the better offers I've seen in a luuung time.

More fun is if you give a German a gift of Irish Mist.
I do feel that with the amount of consistent new crew added, slots have gotten unreasonably tight. So you could say I feel the pressure to buy more. However, because I consider it to be unreasonable I’m holding out for them to take action first.
In my case, they've hamstrung my spending. I'd love to buy a theme pack or two each week or extend a forgotten voyage, but I'm saving every drop of dil for the next crew pack sale. Until then, it doesn't make sense for me to spend a dime on anything but the monthly dil when I can't even roster the crew.
Why is everyone complaining? You just need to start immortalizing crew and cryo vaulting them.
If you regularly win 5* crew you will lose 1-2 crew slots per week to unfused crew. Unless you spend money to fully fuse your incomplete versions. FF 5* crew is very expensive. Immortalizing 1-2 event 4* crew per week, which is challenging, still won’t prevent slot loss completely.

How could you forget Riker on trombone? I know it isn't in the original, but need to work him into this new arrangement somehow.....
A request then, "When the Slots come matching in".
The gift was 2063 merits.
That was one gift, yes.
But I am also being offered a "gift" of a Cochrane, Chronitons and Credits. How do I screenshot?

Someone's more optimistic than me, it seems.
I.e
complete 1 event = 1 bonus slot
complete 2 events = 2 bonus slots
complete 3 events = 3 bonus slot
complete 4 event = 5 bonus slots
