Hard to Level

This week's event crew are tough. O'Brien seems to be expensive in all his forms. Prisoner is especially bad.
And Mintaakin Riker has need for a ton of hard to get parts for his lowest uniform levels.
I hope they are worth it.

I tend to level in themes. Like I'll work on just Klingons or just Janeways, etc. if I think there is an event coming up. Current theme is main cast. Other than the Rikers, my remaining main cast or likely event crew to level are:
Warship Chakotay (at 100 but needs 2 items)
Katrine (90)
Undercover Sulu (80)
Nyota Uhura (80)
Gunslinger Uhura (80)
First Officer Chekov (70)
Durango Troi (50)
Interfaced Barclay (50)
Loque'eque Sato (40)
The rest of my unleveled crew are one-offs.
Bell Riots Jadzia was surprisingly easy to level until I got her to level 90. There she will sit for a few weeks...
Mys worst PITAs: Tempted Data, Duchamps, Mirror Janeway, Undercover O'Brien and of course Proton Paris.
Since we have gotten more Replicator privileges from the Starbases, life has been infinitely easier to level some of these guys!
Marty needed so many 2* Bloodwines which wasn't half as bad as all the 0* Gagh he needed. 2* Bloodwines drop relatively regularly via only the KCA faction, but 0* Gagh even though it is a faction-only item rarely drops from the KCA.
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.
Uh-oh. I airlocked a multiple-starred version of him some months back, but then since I've gotten all my remaining crew FE in the interim, I've been considering working on a few that I dumped earlier. He is one of them — currently sitting at level 1, 1/4 — but after reading this, you've given me pause.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Sometimes it’s nice to toil over someone who isn’t worth half the trouble, because it makes the other guys relatively enjoyable to complete,
I’m the same way. I’ll look at something and think “hellz no!” and replicate the nasty ones
Currently, I've been working on Formal Dress Wesley and he is not fun to level.
More often than you'd think, Legendaries can be easier to level than super-rares, or even rares. For example, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how easy The Caretaker was to get fully-equipped (don't hate me, but I was lucky enough to get him on two of my accounts in the past month).

Yep. That's the problem I've encountered in a nutshell with certain crew.

Agree 100%. I didn’t do myself any favors by trying to do Yarnek at the same time (I was excited) but there are multiple legendary characters that I felt were easier than Cyrus Redblock.
I had to buy most of all my Gagh from the Faction Outpost (I just recently FFFEd him too)
Right now Medical Experiments are my latinum, I'm working on building physicians and augments at the same time. (I must be drunk)

I remember having trouble scrounging up 2* casings for Captain Proton...I am swimming in them now, of course.
He has been my most frustrating. I finally got him finished a week or so ago. I don't think I used him since the last Klingon event. ...but he tasked me.
Working on Martok right now myself... the bloodwines are killing me. It's funny because the crew cost calculator has him at "Average" when much easier crew are listed as "Difficult"
Time to go spam some more KCA missions...
Theres a lot of 4 star characters that have annoying items in the 60’s and 70’s where I just give up and they sit for a while before I commit resources to just finish them.
Agent Harris and GI Chakotay sat for a long time
....
Proton Paris was the worst of them all, though.
132 0* holoprograms is definitely an lol
I decided to build the 5* hyperspanner and 5* toolbox for both Doctor and Lt. Commander. Sure enough, Captain La Forge event right after I finish both of them. Had to build a third hyperspanner, toolbox, and another 5* implant.
Crew leveling is easy now.
