Should voyages drop (old) legendary crew?

Currently, voyages only drop super rare crew as from the 6h dilemma, but legendaries can never drop. It could be interesting to have a (very low) chance to drop legendary crew after (for example) 10h, in order to provide more incentive to players to spend more dilithium by extending their voyages past 10h, in the hopes that they get a new crew, or be able to finish off their existing crew.

The argument could be made to include only older crew (e.g. at least 18 months in the game), so that the new crew remains a little more "exclusive" for a longer period of time, but all in all I think this could be an interesting addition to the voyage mechanic and to make them more rewarding past a certain point of time.

These days, if a behold offers you Lizard Paris or Coffee Janeway, you take Lizard Paris or Coffee Janeway...IMO

Re: What are they feeding those ST Discovery doctors?!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dr. Katherine Pulaski debuted four months ago also with the #2 MED base, #52 voyage total and a rare skill set. This is simply following the progression of standard power creep.

Of the top 10 base crew in each skill (60 total), 10 are Disco crew.
Of the top 50 voyage scores, 6 are Disco crew.
Of the top 3 gauntlet pairs in each combo (45 total), there is 1 Disco crew claiming two spots (Away Team Burnham)

I think blanket event bonuses beyond the second mega are/were unnecessary, but they're not really hogging the limelight when it comes to raw card power. The #1 and 2 Doctor thing seems to be a coincidence.

Re: Key information about this week’s event: On the Backs of Giants - 07/18

Yeah, I think we've outgrown "all crew from Star Trek: Discovery" being bonus crew, but I can see something like "all U.S.S. Discovery personnel" being a thing for a future Mega-Event. In any case, the potential for future events is probably comparable for Pollard and Pulaski. They're the kinds of crew members who get strong stats so our active crews aren't just variants of the same dozen main cast characters. Their game value is in things like Voyages and non-event shuttles while we keep event crew active.
