Probably should have but when it comes to DB we just can’t expect anything probable...or even meaningful...I’ll take what I can get in this desert of logic
I don't mind Species-8472 being worked in, since it/they are a highly demanded new crew member that doesn't really fit with any themed storyline (except a broad Voyager event). It's actually Drone 7 that doesn't seem to make any sense, aside from the Borg/Species-8472 storyline, but that connection only takes the mega even further off the rails than just Species-8472 would on its own.
After having the new 4* crew as the ranked reward the past two events, I'm really hoping Sarina is the threshold reward. With Drone 7 already immortalized, it would allow me to save chrons by going threshold-and-out. I would like the Species-8472 5* card, but would enjoy saving chrons even more.
Foolishly I was expecting more Dominion based cards to fulfill the DS9 portion of the event and the Augment misfits Bashir helped with some other augments like Malak this week.....Rogna Danar....7 of 9....Species 8472....these are not what I was hoping for. I am not even happy with the re-occurring Darth Bashir the art is horrible. So far this is more of a Bell Riots, some DS9, couple random 4* Augment card event. This Mega event is following a theme about as well as any 4 random events strung together in the name of a mega event.

I thought the first two events were bang on, with every crew either being from DS9 or augmented [arguably re: Danar, and by association re: Soong].
Thinking about it more from a storytelling perspective, I suppose they could look to both Species-8472 and the Borg as more modern alternatives to augment somebody; the Borg via assimilation and nano-probes, Species-8472 via the technology that allowed them to appear human. It's a stretch, and seems to go against the idea of a DS9 and augment faction theme, but I could see how it could work from a plot perspective.
Of course, with the introduction of the Borg and Species-8472, I hope that doesn't result in Janeway being shoehorned in the following week, as she was in past mega events...
It may be a ds9 and augment theme event, but this is still timelines. The game where all the series and movies of Star Trek come together. So there has been a TNG character, sort of an augment, and now two from Voyager. Just wait and see how it plays out, that's my opinion...
Can someone please tell me why we’re getting two non-Augment, Voyager characters in a DS9/Augment Event? I love Seven of Nine and 8472 is cool and all, but neither of them should be in this event. You guys should be using either an existing Augment, like Joachim, or and existing DS9 crew member, like O’Brien or Odo, and then a new Augment or DS9 character.
I’m glad we’re getting Sarina but seriously, that’s it?! That’s all we get in the Augment area OR the DS9 area. Like I said, I love Seven and Voyager in general, but this isn’t suppose to be a Voyager event. I’m sorry DB, but once again, you have failed this game and its community.
Weirdly enough, I’m also Vulcan Housewife. Also, RNGesus hates me, like really, REALLY hates me.

We're 3/4 of the way there.... that's pretty much almost played out.
What I meant to say is that we have a DS9 mega event with an event without anyone from DS9. I would love to see Discovery's mega event without anyone from Discovery.
Literally EVERY SINGLE EVENT in the first Discovery mega had a character that wasn't from Discovery.
Was any Discovery mega-event without anyone from Discovery? Because there aren't a single DS9 crew in this event!
Well technically Sarina may not be crew, but she is a DS9 character.
By that same token, the last event in Discovery I didn't have any Discovery crew, but had 2 Discovery characters. Sarek and Mudd. Also the recurring wasn't crew, but the one of T'Kuvma.
Note: I'm not happy about this either, but it helps to express ones displeasure accurately.

Sarina is DS9 so not sure what you are talking about. She is also Augment so DB got a twofer . I can also see that the Borg could be viewed as the ultimate augments and the best way to deal with the Borg is 8472. So yeah, I'm OK with this
Teach me to boost up my DS9 and Augment crew for a DS9/Augment event!
Central conceit of the game is the mixing of crews in a way that we rarely got to see in the series', plus the name of the final event presaged 8472 turning up to the party, so I'm not outraged like some players.
As long as it makes narrative sense, I'm fine. I'd be more disappointed if DB kept everything in nice little silos.
I get (and shared) the annoyance during the Vulcan/Romulan Mega with the depressing lack of Romulans, but with this we've had new Augments, new DS9 crew and mixing it up a little cross-franchise makes sense.
Although I got roasted last week for not knowing a character I had seen ONCE a DECADE AGO, who is Miss Douglas?
She's the DS9 misfit augment genius I was hoping for as the recurring legendary. Like Da Vinci with two high (SCI+ENG) primaries + MED or DIP tertiary.
And we need Admiral Patrick.
And we need him to say "That's a stupid question."
His other quote can be, "That's a stupid question too."
Of course, that would be too much what people voted for.
There are tons of great characters in that pool to choose from.

We voted for DS9 and Augments. Sarina is an Augment who is just technically from DS9.
There are like 50 characters from DS9 with more appearance than her. It's like putting a TNG mega event with only Mark Twain from TNG.

Boothby needs to be the 3* in this event. MAKE IT HAPPEN
Especially since he is wearing the hat, right?
It should be a new 3*. A group shot of Patrick, Jack and Lauren in Starfleet uniforms.
Leave it to DB to bring a football bat to a basketball game......

You could just put Odo and O'Brien with Sabrina.
Or Augment Odo, Augment Worf...
But nooo. Wtf? Species 8472 and Seven of Nine. Wtf???

You've made your feelings about Discovery well known, but try to be factually correct.
First Discovery mega included:
Janeway (VOY)
McGivers (TOS)
Orion Slaver (ENT)
Jadzia (DS9)
Actually in Discovery Mega I, the existings weren't Disco Ballers : Captain Janeway, Marla McGivers, the Orion Slaver, and Blood Oath Jadzia Dax.
You mean like Captain Janeway (https://stt.wiki/wiki/Streak_of_Stardust), Marla McGivers (https://stt.wiki/wiki/First_Impressions), Orion Slaver (https://stt.wiki/wiki/Orion_Belt), or Blood Oath Dax (https://stt.wiki/wiki/A_Logical_Reaction)?
Literally EVERY SINGLE EVENT in the first Discovery mega had a character that wasn't from Discovery.
Then you have Augments like Persis or Raakin.
Then you could always make non-canon DS9 augments.
But what on Earth were they smoking so that they choosed 8472 and Seven of Nine?
They could literally put all DS9 characters in one hat and 3 papers with content normal, normal, Augment in another.
Then they pull from a hat Worf - Augment, Odo normal, Admiral Ross normal.
Here you already had an internesrimg Klingon Augment Worf who lost his ridges and two DS9 characters...

Except, you know, the one that is.

lol please google Sarina Douglas... The event **tsk tsk**, but let's stay factual
