Not sure what I think about Augment O’Brien. I mean I don’t get too worried about DBized versions of characters, but there are soooo many versions from DS9 (and TNG for that matter) I’d like to see... Hope he’s cool.
Does anyone actually want longer events? I'm seriously curious. I know I don't. I know some others who don't. I've never heard anyone asking for a longer one, but if you're out there speak up as this is your moment.
No, shorter (as in 3 days) would be better. Ever since the events began, I thought it odd that the weekly event, which presumably would be something special and out of the ordinary, actually lasts longer than the rest of the non-event week.
I'm an O'Brien fan, and I can't think of a single O'Brien episode I don't like. But, well...Aug'Brien better look really frigging cool. Otherwise it's just a big waste of time.
Also just generally not so much into the clearly-not-canon characters. Mirror TNG was at least plausible as an "off-screen" kind of pseudo canon. But these Augmented versions are kind of silly.

Didn't the Q&A with Admiral Prince say that they were going to try out shorter events? So far I've yet to see that happen, and I'd really love to!
Don't you know that those QA sessions are just giant PR exercises for DB to pretend that it cares to communicate with us. Anything said there has no bearing on actual DB plans going forward. It's like Shan's "I have forwarded your feedback". The feedback is forwarded, but there is no commitment to act on it.
Because this will be a longer event, what are the chances we could get some additional threshold rewards? With the ranked rewards very unbalanced as they are now, I’d hope that DB would change things up to give a little more incentive to play a longer event.
Why? It was the same with the Mirror event (in fact many of the legends for that event were non cannon).
I agree, and I didn't love that too much either. MOST of the mirror ones were from a Trek comic though which makes it a bit easier to swallow... I don't know of any comic or other media that had an augment O'Brien
Glad to see another Leeta. Just hoping Augment Commander O'Brien is ENG primary, CMD (and hopefully some other skill) secondary.
I’m guessing Augment Commander O’Brien will be SEC/ENG/COM, as RAF O’Brien is ENG/COM/SEC already. We’ve had enough COM/SEC/ENG 5*s lately (Killy, Pointing Sisko).
I think someone really needs to remind the game designers we're playing this game because of the Star Trek characters we love, not because of their great narrative skill. A mega event doesn't need to end with a crazy character idea that fits perfectly in the plot they're writing. The event should end with the highly wanted character we've all been asking for.
Admiral Ross, Admiral Patrick, and new canon version of Kira/Odo/O'Brien, that's who we want to end the mega event, not a non-canon mashup creation.
If Augment Riker is threshold, I will feel slightly annoyed that I bought the Augmented Reality pack offer partly to FF him. At least I will have an excuse to FE my First Officer Riker, though. He has been sitting mostly ignored in my crew quarters since I got him.
Event Name: The Weak Will Perish
Event Type: Hybrid Event: Expeditions/Faction/Galaxy
Event Crew: Augment Commander O'Brien 5* (New), Mirror Leeta 4* (New) and Augment Riker 4* (existing)
Event Dates: Thursday 06/21 until Tuesday 06/26 (5 days event)
Mega Event recurrent featured crew: Bell Riots Bashir 5* (Existing)
Event faction: Augments
Bonus crew:
• high bonus: event crew and Bell Riots Bashir
• small bonus: variants of Miles O'Brien, variants of Riker, variants of Leeta, Roga Danar, and crew with the Augment trait.
But...Thursday to Tuesday is 5 days? Only one day longer than the normal cycle
Edit: for the sake of continuity, the OP originally stated "6 days". It has, since, been modified (corrected) as well as posts quoting it.
Two days for each Segment would have made more sense to me. Do it for six days. Two Expedition, two Faction, two Galaxy.
And I guess we figured out where Mirror Leeta came from.

Hopefully we get a new two-star Transporter Chief O'Brien out of this.
That brings up the confusion I have with 3* O'Brien being in this week's event instead of next weeks. Seems like a no brainer for him to be next week unless they are going to reuse 3* Riker or add a 3* Leeta.

How many Leeta cards are there? Any hidden ones with a different name?

Aug'Brien?
Well...

With any luck, next event will be shorter so we still get 3 days off from events.

Sounds more like "The Week Will Perish"
A day = 24 hours
So, 5 days covering 6 dates
The question is which of the 3 events is the one-day event. Please let it be the galaxy portion
In my nightmares it would 4 days of Galaxy with a half day each of the other two
Shorter events.
When do we want'em?
NAO!

Easy pass. Free Weekend for me.

I consider that comic 100% canon for TNG O'Brien :P

Considering that expedition events are even worse than galaxy events I hope that is the short one

By inquiring about the event phases it became evident that it would not work with an event ending on Tuesday.
I have amended the original post with the following:
Event Dates: Thursday 06/21 until Wednesday 06/27
The event will span over 7 days, for a total of 6x24h and 3 phases of 48h each.
