......... did I miss it somewhere, or they still have not yet released the factions featured in the event and the bonus crew, besides event crew and variants
If you missed it, so did I. I'm just assuming that Archer, Jake, and Kim variants are the bonus crew.

"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
And, let me say pre-emptively, DB had better not think "okay, we're doing/have done one Archer event, now the people will shut up", cause hell no lol, we'd better be getting a good number of Archer events in the future to give the character accurate representation among his other captain peers as well as to catch up on all the shafting him these past two years. We better be seeing something like...
Kir'Shara Archer
Captain Archer
Loque'eque Archer
Resistance Archer (from Storm Front)
Rura Penthe Archer (after all, so few manage to escape RP)
events with older Archers like EV Suit Archer, Mirror Archer, Ushaan Archer.
And an Archer with Porthos!
If Captain Janeway can be Coffee Janeway, I don't see why Captain Archer can't be Porthos Archer.
2* Threshold........
Perhaps a 3* threshold, we already have 2* Away Team Archer.
Jake Sisko, one of the most boring characters in trek history. But i am sure DB will compensate with power creep status.
You must be new to Star Trek. Good job starting with DS9.
I seriously can not believe that someone can call Jake boring especially when we have Harry Kim in the same event!
I am not a Jake Sisko fan.
But your comment is to the point.
Harry Kim probably should have been red shirted.
Edit: The more I think about it. I think Rogue Kim was Harry Kim’s best episode.
I would argue it's between that, Deadlock, and The Chute.
Although the one where he captains the Mockingbird isn't bad either, since he actually gets to show some growth in that episode.
Admiral of the Haus of GaghGagh, Starbase level 94, we are not accepting members at this time.
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.
This may be my first zero bonus crew event in a year. Should be an interesting control group event for comparison.
Not so interesting for a 2-month player. Events have been my chance to immortalize rare crew and kind of play catch-up. My 4-5 small bonus crew are just not going to get the job done. I'm bummed about falling even further behind this week.

Not quite familiar with all the episodes names. But The Chute I can definitely recall and you are right about it being a good Harry Kim role. But I did like the Rogue Kim episode.
Edit: I do remember the one where he was captain. I actually was trying to think of other episodes he was good in. But, I could only remember the ending. Until you mentioned he captains the Mockingbird. I will have to read the plot of Deadlock. But you must be right, I agree with your choices that I remembered.
Edit2: I will have to watch deadlock again. I did not think Kim had that much of a role other than bringing the baby and himself over to the other voyager.

I mean it was a smaller role, but I feel he did rather well in it.
I could swear there are other good Harry Kim episodes though, but I haven't done my biyearly rewatching of Voyager lol. And I have to correct myself, the ship was the Nightingale, not the Mockingbird.

Okay got you on deadlock. There is the episode where some time accident happens and he is on Earth instead of Voyager. It probably is the one episode where he is almost the only crew featured (Paris is in it. But minor compared to Kim. Of course at end everybody is shown) But to me it is a good episode. Not a good Harry Kim. Really more of him jumping through the hoops to reach the end. Good episode because of tie in with first episode and interesting story.
You could almost say some similarities to the Rogue Kim episode. But that one has Harry trying to do the impossible twice and failing. Seems to be his thing trying to do the impossible and failing.
I love that error of the bird mix up. I would have had to watch the episode again. And I still might have missed the mistake. Though I guess if I heard someone say to kill a nightingale. I probably would catch that error. But know what they meant.
Decided to lookup to kill a nightingale and it has been used.

I like that episode, too - not just for the "I'm going to Marseilles to see Paris" joke, but because when there's running in that episode, the people actually run, instead of the usual studio jog.
Hmm... maybe that's an odd thing to like about an episode.
I wasn't such a big fan of Nightingale. Harry didn't know the answer to How Be Good Captain?, Seven knew the answer, Seven tells Harry the answer, Harry does exactly what he's told and passes life-test. It wasn't exactly character development. (Although it did raise the question in my mind of why Seven wasn't made Captain, as she seemed to know how to do it the best!)
Then again, it's been a couple of years since I've seen that episode - I could be misremembering!

I think Nightingale was good for Harry simply because someone actually set him down and told him why he's not doing well. I love when Tuvok does that for him too over the Marayna deal. It's kind of pointing out "this, this is why you never moved beyond ensign in 7 years" lol.
All that said though, I like Harry as a character - he's naive to a tee, gullible, too optimistic for his own good. But that last one is something I really like about him. Bashir started off very much the same way in DS9 but he took the hardening over time route of character development, as the Dominion War raged on Bashir moved away from naive and fresh-faced to weary, battle-hardened, and partially cynical. Harry on the other hand maintained his optimism and naivete throughout most of Voyager, the real question is: is that due to his resiliency as a person or simply because in the face of it all, being on Voyager he still never really had to face any traumatizing hardships?
As for Investigations (I think the episode is called, where he wakes up in San Fran and has to find Paris), I'm not a fan of that episode. I have quite an odd thing where if an episode is based nearly all around the delirium of a character's mind or their perception of it, I hate or rather dislike the episode. I think it just chalks up to my personal history of anytime I get really sick I have very delirious dreams, dreams which seem eternal and repetitive, I have to see/hear/do the same things again and again and again seemingly ad infinitum and if I wake up and go back to sleep, the same dream comes back.
So anytime I watch a delirium-type episode, it just turns me off, like the one where Riker thinks he's crazy in TNG after playing a crazy person in a theatre production aboard the Enterprise, or the episode in Voyager where Chakotay is a boxer. Those episodes just make me go yeeeeesh no no no.

While you're quite obviously right about the Chakotay-episode, Frame of Mind was awesome!
This may be my first zero bonus crew event in a year. Should be an interesting control group event for comparison.
Not so interesting for a 2-month player. Events have been my chance to immortalize rare crew and kind of play catch-up. My 4-5 small bonus crew are just not going to get the job done. I'm bummed about falling even further behind this week.
2 year player here, I only have 5 bonus crew too. The pool is just much smaller. Everyone will have lower vp totals.

Likewise. I have 8 bonus crew, but only because I defrosted Hockey Kim and Writer Jake. Having done so, I'm not sure how I get either of them onto a shuttle - they are just so weak.
While I (think I'm going to) like the old-school challenge of a limited bonus crew set, the drawback to doing this in a post-voyages hybrid is that it really won't matter how the shuttles go for anyone - just blast away in the galaxy phase and all your shuttle failures can be overcome. Not complaining, just observing.
It's comforting to know that I wasn't the only one who defrosted Hockey Kim. Knowing that this is Archer's first event also tells me that there won't be a ton of immo'd Archers out there. Maybe it will only be half as bad as I expect. Thanks for the feedback.

Skill boosts are also affected by the bonus, so that might push them up your depth chart.
I look at the 3*s and figure if with 2x bonus they don't surpass my current line up with no bonus for a skill, I leave them frozen. I think if you have 5-6 characters stronger than the bonus crew it's safe to leave them frozen. Depending on your crew, but for me they need to be about 450 or higher for most skills. I actually try to keep a few extra of the 3* 500+ skill for main characters active all the time so they are easily available. You save merits that way.
Comments
I was all like "YAY!!! A FREE 5* for the Event!!!"
Scott
You were mailed an EV Suit Archer. Boom! Event crew.
Well, not to be a stickler, but that' s crew providing a small bonus, not "event crew" ;-)
Perhaps a 3* threshold, we already have 2* Away Team Archer.
I would argue it's between that, Deadlock, and The Chute.

Rogue Harry Kim was awesome. It's the only reason I didn't ditch his card, despite having such godawful stats and being difficult to level.

Just waiting on his stats to see if I go for an event pack
I'm sorry man, to me he just looks like crying and sh!ttn himself Jake Sisko.
So glad.
