And I know for a fact Sarek nor Mudd are going to have any MED.
Maybe Sarek will have med since he brought Burnham back from the dead? Crazier things have happened.
Ok even if he does though, it would be negligible as a tertiary skill. We need more MED people with stats 700 and above, ideally 800 and above. Kind of like how we have Robin Hood Picard and Ba'ku Worf who have over 900 SEC stat even as 4*s, or Marla who has over 900 DIP stat as a 4*. We need someone like that in MED or just a new MED 5*.
If Sarek has MED, it'd only be like 300-400 stat and that's not all too useful.
Oh, I completely agree with you. I was just being a smart ****. I think until they introduce more med crew they should remove that skill completely from voyages...
Or make characters like the Mobile Doctor pop up more often.
Looking at prior events, I think only RAF Bashir and Ambassador Troi are the big meds that have been event crew. (I will take no offense in being corrected, I'm just making cursory checks), so I don't think the first rerun after the mega will be another Battle for NY or Season of Love. Maybe a new 1701 Bashir on a Trouble with Klingons #4 will be next, lol.

I wouldn't say remove it from voyages, that's a bit far-fetched. But perhaps make it where it can't be the gold skill in a voyage until the dearth of strong MED characters is alleviated somewhat.
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.
Spock has counted for Sarek in the past. Is this no longer the case?
When they do things like this, it's because there's a desire to introduce more event crew than just variants of the featured crew. In this case, between every Dax, including not a Dax Dax, plus all Discovery crew, there's really no need.
Bingo. Bonus crew are not based on character logic, they're based on event balance and the number of crew. Expecting consistency between events is futile.
Please don't hide Sarek in thresholds! We have to many 3/4 cards and it's impossible to honor citation them all.
The end game seems to be balancing crew slots with no relief to be found (buying event packs will not gaurantee the card you need). Buying 10-packs seems to only get new 1/4 or repeats.
Remember, all the previous STD events have been Galaxy / Galaxy hybrid so putting in a new card as threshold was ok due to community awards and ability to compete for a FF version.
If Sarek is threshold, he will be 3/4 indefinitely unless get lucky on pack (I've bought 6 event packs before and still got wrong card, or 5* when only wanted a 4th). Will be 6+ months before in regular rotation.
Putting blood oath as threshold on faction event just makes since. I hope DB listens.

I am assuming that you are about to be disappointed. The existing crew has been the rank reward all month long so I expect BO Jadzia to be Rank and Sarek to be Threshold

Well, I won't place any bets that's for sure. But, the ranked award all month has been Galaxy/Galaxy hybrid. That means FF is possible with community award.
Having a new STD character introduced with no possible way to complete competitively is a whole new level of disappointment.
However, partial completion of an existing card is fair. There seems to be no consistency here, it has been done both ways in past.
I'm just doing a last minute plea for DB to give us a chance for completing. I've got 19 3/4 cards in my inventory. 10-packs and voyages seem to pick from my ice chest 9 out of 10 times. I really do not want another 3/4.
It is impossible to ever get to a place where crew slots are easily managed. I don't want to airlock cards I paid for!

We need MED and other forms of events. I like Sarek. Other characters who are also important to the series who I want as (3-skill) crew:
Dr Hugh Culber
Michael Burnham
especially Ripper the Loveable Giant Teleporting Tardigrade / Water Bear
Here we are and no Burnham announced. Really DB? I'm hoping we'll see a 3* version. It seems insane to have a Discovery event and not include some version of the main character. I can see where this might make sense from an economic view -we're incentivized to purchase a pack that contains her post-event -but a move like that really comes across as crass.
Not thrilled about the idea of a doing shuttles every three hours for four days straight. Faction events are the worst on my sleeping habits. For me, I would be fine with 2-day or even just 1-day events. As I already have BO Dax immortalized, I may forego an attempt at Mudd and stop at 3-star Sarek.

It would be nice if some events were shorter "flash events" for lack of a better term. As for faction events I've long gotten past the idea of waking up to retrieve/send shuttles (did it early on a for a few events) and just try to remember to send 9h shuttles sometime before I go to bed.
So disappointed you guys placed the new 4* character in threshold rewards.
We have no way to compete and obtain a FF copy. We will be stuck with a 3/4 forever. I never buy event packs because they are not beholds. Been burned almost every single time always getting the character I have complete and get a meesly 200 honor.
DB, you guys are not encouraging me to invest in company but just give up trying to collect.
1. For faction events, place existing characters in threshold rewards. Everyone has crew slot problems.
2. Or, replace the last 1000 merit award with a 4* version.
It should be hard but possible to get a 4/4 copy of new card.

Event packs are probably the only packs you should buy. At worst you have a 45% chance of getting the character you want. Sometimes you get burnt but this is the best odds you'll get in this game.
I bought one and got Sarek on the first pull. The rest of the pack was poor but still well worth it.
Besides between Voyages and daily rewards, you should get enough honour in a couple weeks to finish any 4*.
@Shan Since shuttle events only go to 3/4 for the threshold crew member, could we have 3/4 stats added in when the 1/5 and 1/4 stats are posted? Since that's the highest people can get the threshold crew in a pure shuttle event, it'd be helpful to know what those stats would, rather than only 4/4 and 1/4.

~· Fly with the Subspace Eddies! ·~
wow, sorry. I stand corrected.
maybe if i had put "IIRC" at the beginning, all would be forgiven?
Let me rephrase: the FIRST mega event ended with a hybrid faction/expedition.
https://stt.wiki/wiki/Resistance
I am hardly "rejecting the truth" or "lying to myself".
I was wrong, which people are quite often. But maybe i was only half wrong, and not deserving of such a strong reaction.
EDIT:
OK, i did some wiki-checking of my own, and the 2nd mega *DID* contain a hybrid expedition, it just wasn't the final event:
https://stt.wiki/wiki/The_Heart_of_the_Empire
I guess it was "easily proven" as you said. I was still wrong, but maybe now i'm down to 25% wrong...
Nope, this is the new normal, except we will no longer get additional crew and have 1-2 days to get everybody off of ice (depending on your sleep schedule): https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/1038/changes-to-schedule-for-releasing-event-information

Hyperbole doesn't help your argument.

Love the new two-star, at least.
No way? There is an event portal pack where you can get the 4th copy.
That's the whole point of making the new crew the 3/4 rather than Dax. Encourage people to buy at least 1 pack to get that 4th star.
