    He took out several starbases without warning. Villian works.

    And now the crew slots are keeping me from participating. I could rank 1000 if I tried. But then I'd have a slot wasted on a 5* that would never get any use and can't be frozen.
    I could collect 3/4* of Keras, hang on until I could get him from a pack or voyage. But I'd be wasting a slot waiting to to freeze a character I would never use.

    And piddly honor is keeping me from buying too. Voyages already FF'd my Kirk, so no reason to rank. And I know if I make any portal pulls, all I'll get are Kirks.


    Guess I'll save my time boosts, grab the 100k supply kit, if I can be bothered, and shrug and walk away from week 3 of this bimonthly mehga event.

    Threshold and out for me too! :)

    anyone remember the first "mega event" Borg ... with a GREAT featured crew, the Borg Queen, and all the crew involved...

    Assimilated Torres
    Drone Seven of Nine
    Mirror Phlox
    Assimilated Tuvok
    Dr. Tolian Soran
    One
    Assimilated La Forge
    Icheb
    Arik Soong
    Assimilated Janeway
    Admiral Picard
    Riley Frazier

    along with Assimilated Laforge, and i think a couple more "in between"
    perhaps Admiral Picard was the "weakest" of the bunch, but was still "a Picard" and three skilled.

    That was a GREAT event, with deep thought and useful characters...

    Maybe someone from DB will look back and put some thought into it... i would be all for "every 3 months" rather than "every other month", for some extra quality...

    Eh. The Borg Mega was my second or third ever event in the game, and I airlocked everybody I got aside from Drone Seven and Admiral Picard (who I bought a pack to get).
    Not everybody likes the same characters or wants the same crew. I've been digging the Vulcan/Romulan Mega so far.
  • Maybe I'll go for Vreenak, for the sound clip and that it sounds like many people won't be trying hard for him. But he would just gather dust on my roster as a 1/5 (he'd have to be at 4/5 for me to use him in shuttles). I don't have enough of a connection with him as a character to go out of my way for him.

    If you're going to make a two skill legendary character, give them a 1,300+ base stat, or make them a gauntlet killer.

    That’s if you assume a Federation-centric view. From the Romulan perspective, he was defending against Federation encroachment on the Star Empire.

    If the Borg Queen doesn’t have the Villain trait, it’s hard to argue that Keras should.

    Villains are antogonists within a society. External threats are adversaries or enemies.

    A good point. I would have put villian and cultural figure, but perhaps villian isn't necessary.

    And how are his Arena bonuses? He should at least excel there - considering that's pretty much what his entire episode is about.

    They are mediocre at best. +7 Evasion (Formal Dress Wesley has +9 for comparison). Initialize 6 seconds and Duration 8. Cooldown is also 8.

    565 Evasion, 425 Accuracy, 138 Crit Chance, 310 Crit Bonus.

    His Arena stats would make him a pretty good Rare character. But since he's Super Rare, when some of them have Evasion/Accuracy in the 1,000's...he's middling.

    Quality over quantity? That's not the DB way. I bet they sell a ton of $25 double your crew offers to get the 4/5 to 5/5.

    Since DB went to weekly events ~2 years ago we've been asking for fewer events and more focus on quantity. Instead DB lets quality continue to degrade as they push out more content all the time. Anything to make volume is their goal. Unless you can make them more money with quality over quantity DB isn't interested.

    Vreenak looks pretty decent, but Keras is risible. His face is puffed up like he's got the mumps.

    Db could make a lot of money if it got out of its own way.

    DB could make a lot of money by allowing people to freeze 1/5s.
    Agreed, we should be able to freeze 1/5 crew if they are lvl 100 and fully equipped. A 3/4 I can someday get the fourth copy or buy a pack or two but a 1/5 rarely if ever will get all its stars unless I buy many packs and/or use 200,000 honor which most legendaries are not worth.
    Let’s fly!

    I'm not too unhappy. I was on the lookout for a half-decent command Romulan in this Mega-Event and while I'd have preferred a three-skiller Keras is pretty strong for a super-rare. I've got him listed as fourth best Command base for shuttles, out of thirty three command primary crew. Pretty good if you're new to the game. He will also have a place in mine.

    Romulan Kirk is the sixth best super-rare for the Gauntlet, so yet another solid crew for new players. I'll be able to finish him off this event myself, so excellent news.

    Vreenak's art is particularly good, while I like him as a character I won't be able to get him this event, no luck in packs and no chance of being in the top 1000. I'm not sure why people are complaining, but there you go. He even has a voice clip I hear!

    I bought two packs - Vreenak in the first one, and then three Purple beholds in the second. But I'd never seen this before - my only chance in the second pack to get one of the featured crew was from the final behold.

    I find it a little funny that we complain about power creep invalidating older crew and then complain more when new crew don’t follow the power creep trend.

    Get Vreenak and Keras if you like them as characters (and if you can), don’t if all you want is someone with better stats.

    I agree with this sentiment totally. I was really happy to pull Vreenak because I like the character. Same with Keras. I was not really focused on the stats as much as the art and the sound clip and just having a Vreenak. They do not need awesome stats to sell these packs.

    I've had this a couple times recently. I actually e-mailed support asking if that was supposed to happen and they said yes

    Probably 'Really' Vulcan Burnham... as I'm betting this is the only dose from Romulus we get. (I'd like to be proven wrong)

    Whats with all the engineering.... only 4 slots with CMD and DIP.... when all the event characters are basically packing those skills.... by contrast, 17 slots that require ENG.... couldnt there have been a Romulan Engineer as an event character?!

    You mean you don't keep 17 copies of T'Rul lying around? :)

    Also, I've run over 20 shuttles so far. You'd think ONE of them would drop a 2* Star Empire Icon...
  • YateballYateball ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'll echo what others are saying here... The MASSIVE amounts of engineering on these shuttles is frustrating
  • AviTrekAviTrek ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow, I love all the eng slots with no eng crew, and no slots that match the recurring 5*. Really solid job with the mission design this week DB.
  • WebberoniWebberoni ✭✭✭✭✭
    So much ENG and so little SCI!

    Well, there is Vorik. And one or two others that almost nobody have. Change almost nothing though...

    Start of event shuttles have "fresh" drop rate, so basics and commons mostly. Good for Augment and Fed farming (those endless med experiments and films). Not so good to get more 2* items...

    Well, that will change as soon as you'll get to 4k ones.
