Thanks as always for posting Shan, yay for another skirmish and only having to thaw out Drone Seven - but also count me in as another vote for this Spock



can you say killer SCI AND ENG and maybe a tiny bit of CMD too?

I'm excited about Pike's Enterprise Science Officer Spock for this event, but I'd also love to see TMP Science Officer Spock at some point, too. We definitely need more crew versions from TMP, like EV Suit Spock.

TMP turns 40 in December, so my guess is that we'll get some of those then if not before. Others I'd like: Chief of Starfleet Operations Kirk (in the uni with the gray on the sides), Navigator Ilia, and Transporter Chief Rand.

To come back to the event at hand, though, I'll admit that Spock being from Disco does tip the scales for me. I don't think I'd have pushed all that hard for Slumber Party Spock. He's a beloved favorite, certainly, but already well represented by other versions I like a lot more. But I really dug Ethan Peck's work in the role, and even though I'll have Fugitive Spock from the Campaign, I'd kinda like this version, too.

Plus the bonus of him being event crew in every Disco event.

Provided they keep doing the all Discovery crew thing for bonuses. With over 50 crew now from the show in-game they may start being more selective at some point.

Hmm.... Drone Seven again. I’m guessing DB drops a merged Cheesecake Seven about 1 Day after everyone airlocks millions of them.

What it comes down to is... everyone is right.

As a parallel, let me illustrate with several different series about the American Revolution: a historical documentary series, a historical drama, a historical romance, and a historical action/adventure series.

Some people prefer just the facts without speculation or interpretation (documentary), some enjoy an examination of how people influenced the events (drama), some like to explore the personal interactions between the important people of the period (romance) and others appreciate the courage, sacrifice, and on-the-spot decisions that created history (action/adventure).

All love the same material (American Revolution), each prefers to focus on a certain aspect of that history, and nobody is wrong for preferring their chosen format.

Star Trek is the same. Each series tends to emphasize or embody a certain feel of storytelling and thus will appeal more strongly to some than to others. We all have our favorites, still appreciate others, and find others not all that appealing.

This doesn't mean that people who don't share our opinions are wrong, need to be "converted" or "shown the error of their ways."

While none of us will like every series, and of course wish there was more of the kind which is our favorite, there is a positive aspect to this variety, including the types which aren't our cup of Earl Grey, hot: the more types of people who find a series type they enjoy, the more likely it is we will continue to see new Trek, and thus more chances to see our favorite types, or to find a new one.

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

I’m all for a sale (gold cites please), but do we really need more 5* honor hall crew?

A 3 or 4* would be interesting, but considering a 2* honor hall crew cost 18k, I’d rather stick with what we have.

I mean, if we're debating canon-friendly additions? Vic Fontaine is the biggest holo-enthusiast of all. The guy basically never leaves.

It’s not a personal or overall length record, but it’s something even more rare:





I thought for sure when I got parts 1 and 2 at the 2 and 4 hour marks that I would need to unload my voyage token stockpile to have a chance at hitting part 3 but the universe decided otherwise. It will now take me only ten months of campaign 4* citations to finish all the voyage exclusives, instead of until the heat death of the universe.

Could be from The Motion Picture in his powder blue pajamas ("I offer my services as Science Officer")

It could be a legendary version of Talos IV Spock from the episode The Cage.

Those would be cool, but I'd bet gold pressed latinum that it's gonna be Disco Spock...

Somewhat off topic but my God that Enterprise bridge is ridiculously awesome.

Oh yeah, that Spock is cool too.

You all are right that many series were a little rough in their opening season or two, but I had DB friends show me their favorite ENT episodes and... it just wasn't for me. It felt more like someone's attempt to make Firefly serious rather than what I'd come to think of as Star Trek.

Not that it isn't Star Trek! Just not my cup of earl grey, hot.
