Gauntlet Trait Combination Occurrences
Travis S McClain
✭✭✭✭✭
I've kept track of each Gauntlet's primary skill and trait combinations, as well as my own rankings, trophies, and crews. I figured there was a large enough sample size by now to look at the number of instances of each combination in this time. Note: The same trio of skills isn't always listed in the same order in-game. For the purposes of organizing this more easily, I've simply alphabetized each set. Here's how many times each set has come up, along with the date of its most recent Gauntlet appearance. Updated to denote number of 65% crit crew members for that Gauntlet, where applicable. (Assume none if there's no notation.)
There are two Gauntlet schedules (i.e., Schedule A is Day 1 & 3, Schedule B is Day 2 & 4...). This information reflects Schedule A. Updated through 5/16/18.

Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.
~ Data, ST:TNG "Haven"
When I first started playing, there were already four months of forum posts and Wiki pages created by data collectors that benefited me greatly and immediately. Once I became committed to the game and comfortable making contributions, I felt I should. Also, I'm one of those list-making people who compulsively organize data of the least important things because that's how we process the world. (Fun fact: I learned to write as a child because my mom had me make lists of which specific He-Man action figures I wanted, and I copied their names from the back of the package of whichever one I had recently gotten.)
When i see Travis' long statistical posts, i think of Odo thinking it's annoying how Humanoids have to keep such extensive records and create new ways of storing data...so they can keep so many records. Please understand i dont mean this as a dis...but i do think Travis' house's walls are made of filing cabinets.
Would you be able to provide us with a list of which Crew have had a 65% Crit Chance in a Gauntlet, as well as how often this has occurred for each of them?
Thanks again for all your efforts!!!
I just wait for Travis to post it. You know it will happen at some point
Check out our website to find out more:

What makes you think the alternate day would be "very different"? Certainly, they COULD (and almost certainly are at least subtly different) but I would be very surprised if they have a bank of "Day A" combinations and "Day B" combinations.
A simpler implementation would be a single bank potential combinations with some programmatic assurances the same one isn't picked too frequently.
Not suggesting that the two have different odds or draw from different pools, just pointing out that there's obviously variance between the two days, which can make them look very different.

When I first heard Odo say that, I knew he was talking about me! To disappoint you, though, I only have one filing cabinet and it's a small one with just two shelves. (Are they called shelves? I dunno.)
I was gonna look into that later. (I was also kinda hoping someone else would do it! )
I can't account for data I don't have. I can only offer data I do have. What value any of it has is up to each of you.
i've run 3 accounts since the inception of the gauntlet often alternating between rotations, and other than the consistent "featured event" gauntlets the trait selection seemed pretty random to me.
unfortunately the entire 2017 history page on the wiki is gone. like everything else in the game gauntlet selection was likely determined by RNG for each day.
Respectfully, what anything may have seemed to you and what you think is likely both lack any empirical backing. You're perfectly welcome to dismiss this information. I'm not even saying it's important, let alone that it's definitive. But to argue that your perception of your experience nullifies it is a rather dubious position to take.
Anecdotally, I can say that whenever my fleet mates and I have talked about our respective Gauntlets, those of us on the same schedule have corroborated that we're all doing the same thing.

NOTES
I accounted for the Doctor trait being revised into the Physician trait.
Crew names in bold appear in the top 10 Gauntlet Pair lists in the STT Crew lvl 100 stats spreadsheet maintained by @Peachtree Rex.
Bartender Guinan and Bajoran Dukat each have two 65% Gauntlets, though Guinan's have only come up once apiece. Dukat's, however, have come up a total of five times (three of one and two of the other).
Thanks! I remembered when the Gauntlet launched that an attempt had been made to collect the data, but there was initial confusion as to how universal the trait combinations were. It was because of that that I decided to keep up with my own data, rather than rely on my fellow Wiki contributors.
A cursory look through my data matches the available records in the Wiki, which would seem to corroborate that the combinations are universal. I seem to be on the A schedule. Though the Wiki was abandoned, thankfully the data does include the one weekend I was out of town. Ergo, the data in this thread is reliably complete for the A schedule Gauntlet. (Or, at least, it will be momentarily when I edit to include the traits from that one Gauntlet I missed.)
Thank you again so much for this @Travis S McClain !!!
FYI, one of the reasons I asked for this list - besides thinking you must be very bored, and have nothing to do - is because some people think there are only '10-15' characters who are useful/needed in order to win in the Gauntlet. I think seeing how the featured skill and traits can allow so many different characters with decent rolls to have a 65% Crit Chance provides a better perspective on how much potential variety there in fact is over the long haul for your Gauntlet crew selection.
That was part of why I was curious to review the data in the first place, actually. Unfortunately, you'll count only sixteen crew in bold font who make the top Gauntlet pairs lists. A lot of the others who have 65% Gauntlets have mediocre skills. I'm always disappointed when something comes up where I could use a Dukat, for instance:
Dominion Dukat
CMD (122-246)
DIP (152-331)
SEC (45-117)
Pah-wraith Cult Dukat
CMD (94-157)
DIP (212-398)
SEC (28-58)
All the Starbase and Collection bonuses possible aren't going to make either of them worth bringing, even at 65%.
Basically, what all this has shown me is that Ambassador Troi doesn't get enough respect around here. She makes the cut in two of the Gauntlet Top Pairs (#9 in CMD+DIP and #8 in DIP+ENG). The Gauntlet where she has a 65% crit chance is tied for the second most occurrences with ten so far, and the only other 65% crit chance crew for that one is her 3* variant who obviously isn't a remotely comparable alternative--or opponent.
I haven't pulled her yet, and I fell outside the top 1000 in "Season of Love 2" last year, but having reviewed all this, she's definitely getting priority consideration if she turns up in a Behold! for me anytime soon.
Those are elements outside the scope of the data presented in this thread. There are, however, any number of other threads dedicated to the same observations and complaints, so you're not alone in being aggravated by those things!
Betazoid, Counselor, Nurse remains the most frequently occurring combination (12).
Civilian remains the most frequently occurring single trait (33).
No new 65% crit chance crew have been added.
Because I just got it again today...
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
Yep. Not terribly happy about that, but at least everybody else on the same Gauntlet schedule as I am is also dealing with that same horrid trait combo.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.
~ Data, ST:TNG "Haven"
Nod confirmed that the traits were not completely random. At minimum DB picked the traits that were grouped together. If traits were random you'd see things like Klingon, Elaysian, Bartender. The only reason the 45/65 show up is that DB picks traits that work well together. And there certainly are only 1 set of traits for a given day. Otherwise you would see the traits change if you looked at starting a gauntlet over the course of a couple hours.
I was about to write a post about this and just mention that there should be more shake-up in the gauntlet traits. Travis went ahead and said "Move out of the way, son. Let a professional handle this."

We did, on 28 April (i.e., two Gauntlets ago). Last February, there was a run where every other Gauntlet was Diplomat, Federation, Romantic. There were three of those. Hopefully, we won't get Betazoid, Counselor, Nurse a third time on 6 May.
Hopefully.
