Speculation on Summer Mega Event Bonus Crew

DavideBooksDavideBooks ✭✭✭✭✭
All Augments is an easy possibility.

Perhaps all DS9 officers/crew. It would be ridiculous to have any crew who appeared in the show. But where do you have the line? Crew of DS9 would not include Jake, but in some seasons it would include Rom and Nog. But it wouldn't include Garrett or Quark if only station crew. But we also can't really have essentially all Bajorans and Cardassians.

How does it go down?

    I think it would be characters that appeared in the show, just like how in the Disco mega all "Discovery Crew" meant characters on the show, not just the ship's crew.

    Perhaps, but we have one season of Discovery. We had seven seasons of DS9.

    As I've said before when this came up, I kinda want it to literally be any and all DS9 crew. That would be fantastic. Would it be bonkers? Yep. So what, though? It'd be fun!

    I just hope they let us know in enough time to know on whom to focus our leveling resources.

    Who is Garrett?

    Who is Garrett?

    Garak. Autocorrect got me. He is not crew or staff, but he is DS9. The show wouldn't the same without him. Yet what lines do you draw? If no lines are drawn, then you end up with a ridiculously high percentage of the total. Reward as bonus crew. I like lots of bonus crew, but it does make a difference of who we need to level in preparation.

    I have 23 DS9 crew (from the show) with decent enough stats to possibly be bonus crew for the event, and another 9 waiting for leveling.

    Out of that lot, only my RAF Julian Bashir (at 1/4) is also an augment. I have no other Augments worth mentioning.

    That's actually more bonus crew than you can poke a stick at. Or only 1, depending on how it goes down.

    And quite a lot (16) which need extra stars.

    It will be interesting to see how this goes down.

    The Discovery mega event started just after Discovery was on TV, so there were not a lot of Discovery crew.

    There have been a lot of crew in DS9 from other series, including Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Picard, Riker, several Klingons and more.

    It may be limited to main crew of the series, if so a named list would be good.

    Does Changling Bashir count as a Bsshir?
  • I wouldn't count on "all DS9" being a bonus. I have a feeling you will see one DS9 crew being featured each week with all Augments running the entire month.

    I imagine we'll see everyone with Augment trait as bonus, but I just can't see all DS9 characters getting it - that's just way too many.

    Remember Brutal-Doctor? They've done insane things before with bonus crew.

    For a one off, sure. But an entire month?
  • I envision it being augments all month with featured variants of specific DS9 characters week to week. Not all DS9 characters all month.
    example:
    Bonus crew:
    • high bonus: event crew and recurring 5*
    • small bonus: variants of Sisko, variants of Kira, crew with the Augment trait.

    I think we're gonna see some one off DS9 crew, so that would be tight some events.

    There really aren't enough Augments to make that the only bonus crew (other than the featured crew) for a Mega. I could see them erring on the side of too many (include DS9 crew) over limiting it with just Augments. After all, there are only 12 Augments in the game of which half of them (6) are 5* crew that most players won't have and 3 of them are 1-3* crew that aren't really useful. That leaves only 3 useful Augment crew that players might have (Augment Riker, Young Khan and RAF Bashir). I don't see how they couldn't include DS9 crew.

    That’s a fair point. Maybe it will be variants of the DS9 main cast only: Ben Sisko, Kira, O’Brien, Bashir, Odo, Dax, and Worf. That should be a pretty long list, and one that covers crew of all rarities. Adding Jake, Quark, Rom, Nog, or even Garak might make the list a little too large.

    Given the limitations of crew slots, you could make it all main characters plus recurring characters like Quark, Rom, Nog, Jake etc as not many players will be able to carry all of them. Most might have room for about 10 to 15 given that we would be adding new characters weekly and that we would need to carry crew for other things like cadets, voyages, gauntlet etc. Longer serving players would have an edge but you also need to provide newer players a chance to succeed. Hence, I think we may either see a larger pool or a very common character, a lesser common character and augments every week. I am sure DB can do a search of active and inactive of any crew they want amongst the players and optimize the total bonus crew based on availability. Either way, the more the merrier.

    P.S. Does anyone think the freebie Will Scarlett Worf from TNG would count as bonus? 😀

    Perhaps, but they had the chance to do that with the Romulans this month and they didn't. Just not enough augment bonus crew to actually let them carry the story line. They will likely release a handful to boost overall numbers and make the story line about them moving to the gamma quadrant or something and needing DS9 help. Add an augment pack so players can boost existing augment crew, give a out a freebie beast all month and voila, fun had by all.
