Re: Who is the most conspicuously missing crew not in STT?
I want Timelines Original Romulan Gardener Garak. 😂
Nice but the blood should be Romulan green.
Re: waiting for client update v8.2.0
End of this month! 
And this also means Objective Events will be pushed back as we need 8.2.0 to be live (and all players on it) before we can run them.

The "RoyKirk" 12 Hour Voyager Leaderboard
Good morning. Over the last few months we have been collecting as many of the new 12 hour voyage times as we can and it's now finally time to release the current standings! This list will be continually updated and on the spreadsheet you will find a total list, pair lists and fleet leaderboards too!
You can find the current 12 hour voyage leaderboards here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12TxsHhIzsHfGv9MN4ahtg_AYclySemcdKVYOhFsvBDQ/edit#gid=981012778
If you would like to submit a score we will need a screenshot of your final time, your roster and the return screenshot with the breakdown of all the scores! You can also submit these on the Timelines Talks Discord (link in my signature)
Why RoyKirk? Well they were the first confirmed 12 hour voyager on record, so the honour is all theirs!
The Current Top 10 as of 14/10/2021

Re: Event discussion thread: Galaxy Event - The Dream Machine - 2021-10-21 - ME#3
Bravo for the event crew lineup! As AviTrek said, both the new and old purples are innovators, which combined with Holo-Engineer Zimmerman as the featured gold makes this thematically the best event of the mega yet.
However I have to ask, what is going on with the art lately? Holo-Engineer Zimmerman, First Contact Barclay, and even Rurigan the ranked gold to win all are extremely yellow/orange. We've seen this before with cards like the The Hansens and Straal, but I was hoping it was just a bad batch of art that didn't get quality checked appropriately. The delays on art approval for some cards like Professor Data and the talk of a new process gave me hope that things would soon be trending up in the art department, but I am quickly losing that hope now that it seems the yellow/orange art is here to stay.
WRG is leaning hard into this being a card collecting game, and my enjoyment of collecting cards is greatly reduced when the art is poor.

Re: New Crew: Ephraim and Dot
So, although nobody asked for my feedback, I feel strongly about letting my feelings be known anyway.
I quite liked that Short Trek episode — I thought it was cute, for a one-off episode. But as with characters from TAS, my hope is always that the artwork for characters taken from non-live-action shows will be represented in a more realistic manner in Timelines, matching the majority of the rest of the characters in STT. (Although TAS characters in the game have been sort of hit-or-miss in that regard.)
This, however, makes me think that if Lower Decks characters are ever introduced, they'll be completely unrealistic-looking, and will instead look pretty much like the highly-stylized animation of that show. And since one big reason why I play is because I enjoy collecting characters, seeing things take a turn towards that style of artwork might just turn me off from playing the game at all, at some point.
Yes, I know this is only one character. But we also had Em, for instance, and it opens the door to the idea that not everything needs to look like it could exist in reality. That's not something that pleases me. I like realism in the characters' artwork — it draws me further into the game. Playing with characters that do not look in any way realistic would change the very face of the game for me.
Of course gameplay is a very important part of maintaining players' interest in the game. But would all the various gameplay elements be half as interesting without the characters? The artwork in STT — and the quality and realism of said artwork — has always been highly important to me... that's why I've posted numerous threads and posts over the years about artwork I've enjoyed and artwork I thought missed the mark, in hopes that a certain level of quality was maintained. I'm happy to say that I think that much of our feedback here was taken to heart by the powers that be, and that there has been a pretty high level of consistency and quality for some time now.
But I still enjoy this game after 4+ years, and so I would hate to see something come along that would affect my enjoyment and make me reconsider sticking with it.
Just giving my totally unvarnished personal opinion, of course — YMMV.
For me I want the art to look just as it does from its content and I enjoy the cartoony look that comes from TAS and others. If they looked more like real people and creatures I would not like it and I would not buy packs to get those avatars. But I guess it is personal taste. I enjoy the different art styles and would want any Lower Decks crew to look just as they do in the show.
Re: New Crew: Ephraim and Dot
Are they really auto generated? I've noticed before that the two faces are much closer in the portrait for Balok:
Hmm crew portrait is different I believe but nonetheless you are on to something as I see other crew where the avatar did work better.
This reminds me that it would be nice to have a filter to select an avatar

Re: New Crew: Ephraim and Dot
For the captain avatar version of Ephraim and Dot, this is something that we will be able to rectify, but I do not have an ETA. I've logged in the request.
Avatars and crew portraits are not auto-generated, that was an error on my part.
Regarding the traits, Ripper would indeed need to have the "tardigrade" trait added, however "primal" will not be added to 'Ephraim and Dot' as it does not fit with the episode.
