But Mark Lenard Sarek doesn’t get the bonus when Disco Sarek does. Same character.
If Sarek was event crew, all Sareks would be a bonus. When Discovery is the bonus, only Disco Sareks would count. By this logic, Orion Vina will be bonus crew this event.
Im really enjoying this mega. Ive had three weekends free so far with a 4th imminent, i’ve saved a bucket load of chrons and not spent a single dilithium crystal on packs, let alone real cash. Ive finally had a chance to get some crew levelled up and concentrate on the characters i had at level 60/90 for months. Im a happy bunny! Another Disco mega please!
Dont have an issue with flashbacks given their rationale (to work on QoL updates). But I havent seen any QoL since last flashback (or am I missing something?)
Surely working 2 months on QoL should result in some being released right?

Cross-posting Shan’s comments a few days ago on this subject, from a recent poll:
A minor point that I haven't seen anyone else make yet. Honey Bare's in-game name is Honey Bare Jadzia, not Honey Bare Dax (per the announcement).
The in-game naming is consistent with the episode, in that Honey Bare is simply represented by Jadzia's image, but she is not actually a joined Trill in the holoprogram's story.
I expect to hang in there and pick up the remaining three stars I need for Arik Soong, so I should be able to freeze at least 21 crew members when this event ends. But as an illustration of where I am in my Timelines playing, even knowing I'll have 24 vacancies then, I'm questioning whether I want to take on yet another 1/5. That I'm hesitant about going after Honey Bare Jadzia is telling about how irksome crew management/collecting has become.
I checked my voyage estimates and was surprised to see that Vina was my highest rated legendary for voyages; that is, she makes the most number of skill combos. My crew is not necessarily DIP or MED deficient either - my DIP/MED and MED/DIP runs are 11th and 13th (out of 30) in estimated length.
I'm still a bit dubious of her value from looking at the vacuum metrics and the amount of skill set competition she has, but if you're in need of her skill combo, it might be worth it to crunch the numbers for your own roster while her event pack is in the portal.

She pushed a third of my voyages well above 8h so I'm not surprised. I wasn't playing during the hobo bashir mega though and only have him at 1/5 so that could explain it, still, she performed well above my expectations in all departments. I used her today in a 45% gauntlet and she's doing extremely well. She also got me the quinn I was pointlessly chasing with FF/FE 4* diplomat crew on the first try. Clearly I have been underestimating this crew. She went from "lol use next week and forget" to "might get a few cites one day". I'm still undecided but she went up my list dramatically.
Can someone explain something to me? What differentiates when we have the special 400K threshold prize of an old legend vs not?
I would think that since this event has an old legend as a prize, it should also have an old legend at 400K, but that is obviously not the case here. It’s not a big deal, just uncertain of what triggers the 400K legend.
A replay event with a new 5* has the old legendary at 400k. If next week was a replay instead of a flashback it would have had a new 5* bonus crew which we could earn this week and then honeybare as 400k threshold. But since it's a flashback, there is no new crew so we get honey bare this week and no 400k next week.

Ah. So replay = 400K old legend with new legend for places 1-1500. Flashback = no legend at 400K, and old legend for places 1-1500. Got it, thanks.
So I just realized that the original "Fast as Light" event ran back when you had to finish Top 1000 to score the event 5*. Any chance that at least will be changed @Shan ? Or would changing it defeat the point of the flashback?

We will find out definitively on Monday, I suppose. 🖖

Sorry about that!
Thanks!

EDIT: Also, this:

Love the name change to Kaminar Saru. Much better!
He's still potato Saru.
They call Ron White Tater Salad.
I guess he could be Tater Sack.........

Makes sense. Didn't he make the radio he used to talk to Lippy?

Yes! That's the last one I need to complete the collection!
Ah. So replay = 400K old legend with new legend for places 1-1500. Flashback = no legend at 400K, and old legend for places 1-1500. Got it, thanks.
Cool, I will need one more after this but maybe DB will give me another jury rigger after Saru.
