While Romulan Picard does interest me as a "Romulan" character, and Mintakan Troi does interest me because I liked that episode, neither of them are truly Romulan and therefore I am let down by this mega-event.
When it was advertised that it was a Vulcan-Romulan mega-event, I expected so much more from this event. So all in all, it has left much to be desired..
While I get the comment about Romulan Picard not being “truly Romulan” (same for Romulan Data, Romulan Kirk and Rakal Troi)... how does Mintakan Troi fit into that?
Like Mintakan Riker, she will probably end up with Vulcan and Mintakan traits... not Romulan. I would have been happier if they swapped the two around because I’ll not be able to immortalize the 5* which means I will have only added ONE immortalized Romulan to my collection for a month long Mega event which kind of bites because I only needed TWO when the event started.
Romulan Picard! If you think about it, this event has had the two greatest ST captains, the most important figure in the history of Vulcan, two beloved Romulan characters (Vreenak and Keras), and more. Pretty sweet. I would have preferred a few more beloved guest characters instead of Warship Tuvok, Wedding T'Pol, and Mintakan Troi, but let's not complain too much.
I think the comment was why they didn’t pick T’Rul as an existing character instread of Sela... A sentiment I fully concur with as I only have her 2/4 and finishing her would have finished my Romulan collection...
Add me to the list of players who would have preferred the existing 4* been either Commander Nevesa or Subcommander T'Rul rather than a second run of Commander Sela (who was already existing even in her first event).

Damn, I misunderstood... I thought I was gonna make that guy so happy! Blah
So sad that there is still no event the features Archer. What the heck people?!? The man carried the Katra of Surak and he still can't get into a Surak focused mega event. So much rage....
So it was a month long Romulan/Vulcan mega event and it only introduced 2 new true Romulans to the game. I thought there would be at least 4-5 considering there are already a lot of Vulcans in the game. It is more than a bit surprising.

yep i have her at 3/4 and was hoping to get the 4th - but sela in her own way (cough cough airlock) will help with that!

When it was advertised that it was a Vulcan-Romulan mega-event, I expected so much more from this event. So all in all, it has left much to be desired. Then on top of that, still no Archer in an event ever, and still no Kir'shara Archer who would have been absolutely perfect for the final event in this mega since he unified the Vulcans, it wouldn't be that hard to tie his plot in with unifying the Romulans alongside them.
I'm calling it, I think we have been patient enough. @Shan can you please confer with the other staff and give us a solid explanation for why in over 2 years since the game release there has never once been an event starring Archer as an event crew? It is past time we get some real answers about that.
Mintakan lives matter too! They are proof that Romulans and Vulcans did not have mere philosophical differences but evolutionary as well. So a Vulcan Romulan event became Vulcan Romulan and mintakan! IDIC!

I find that infinite diversity in infinite crapola in regards to the event.
Very nice event DB. Since you pride yourself with storybased games you picked a massive story this time and covered it well so far. Also thanks for giving us a very nice/powerful choice with Surak as 4/5 free. Since I like the story, but don´t overly care to have any Romulans in my crew I am also ok with the ratio of them (in time anyone kinda important will be included into the game anyway, for those who expected more "real" ones). Looking forward to even better things for the DS9 mega

You mean the DS9-augment one? Where we get a new Bashir and call that bringing in the Augment faction?

There are three main cast Vulcans while the only Romulans are guest cast. That there are more Vulcan crew only make sense

Overall in the game I agree. In context of the Event, I do not. It should then have simply been called a Vulcan event that Roms got bonuses for. And bringing in the Mintakan... god... that's so better off in a lil one week event.
That leaves Donatra open for maybe a gauntlet or honor hall card, who knows. I'm still a bit disappointed though not to see Donatra in the last event week. Also, that's four and a half Vulcans and only two and a half Romulans ... but I'm happy to get three more cards counting as Romulan for the collection (in case it's getting expanded later on).

Given that this is event is entitled Reunification, it makes sense that it features Sela and Romulan Picard. I'm not hot on Mintakan Troi; I still don't get how Mintakan Riker is a "Vulcan", and it is disappointing that the Romulan Mega Event featured only two full-blooded Romulans. I think they should have instead offered Proconsul Neral or Senator Pardek.
No Donatra, no Pardek, no Kir’Shara Archer...despite getting Keras, Vreenak, and an intriguing story, I have to agree that the event has been a letdown overall. Here’s hoping we actually get some Augments in the DS9/Augment mega this summer.

Amen. The even Romulan Picard - DB can't give us good (meaning) good stat / 3 skill real Romulan?
This event wasn't very MEGA at least IMO that is (and i'm a the glass is half full type of guy too).

I still don't get how Mintakan Riker is a "Vulcan"
The Mintakans were described as proto Vulcan, and DB basically dropped the proto and lumped them in with Vulcans. I don't really have a problem with that, but at the same time, I don't particularly care for the Mintakans either.

He meant include her in the event rather than Sela.
I think the comment was why they didn’t pick T’Rul as an existing character instread of Sela... A sentiment I fully concur with as I only have her 2/4 and finishing her would have finished my Romulan collection...
I'd say, 'more than a couple actual Romulans'.. since we did get Keras and Vreenak.
Actually, she has in the past. I wouldn't expect them to do it here since there's already a ton of bonus crew, but the precedent exists.
I thought it was the reverse that never happened, Sela never a bonus for Yar, but Yar was a bonus when Sela was the event character.
I have been using T'Rul as my main engineering for the current faction event. 4 stars and FFFE.
Damn, I misunderstood... I thought I was gonna make that guy so happy! Blah
Of course not. Neither does Wesley in Beverly events, or Jake in (Ben) Sisko events.
