Best Of

Not that I am advocating for Kess, but another option here is the version of Kess who was traveling backward through time, she played a very important role in Voyager ultimately surviving The Year of Hell.

If this is going to be for a month, then a comparison to the monthly card seems relevant. A monthly card gives you 3000 DIL for $4 so 750 DIL per $1. Purchasing the largest DIL with max VIP gives you 107 DIL per $1.

Whether the monthly card is the teaser offer, discounted because of delayed gratification, or intended to get you to log in daily is up for debate, but a 5* crew after doing tasks every day for a month seems more similar to a monthly card than a one time purchase.

The monthly card provides 7 times the value of the purchase. So using that as a factor and the $10 offer for a 5*, I could see the argument for going as low as $1.5 for premium tier. If they make it a slightly worse deal and its in the $2-$5 range I could see it. But anything above that doesn't seem reasonable for requiring a month of activity to earn.

Raise the monthly card to 9.99 usd and include the premium campaign track for 30 days.

That is my hot take as a marketing guy with only cursory data available to me. I reserve the right to be horribly wrong

I will be happy as long as we get Fek'lhr.

My big question is how they will do bonus crew. There are 102 crew from Voyager, according to the wiki (doesn't include crew like Captain Sulu who appeared in VOY but aren't from it or EMH Mark I, which may or may not be considered from VOY (EDIT: Shan confirmed that EMH Mk I is from First Contact yesterday)). It gets narrowed down to 65 if you just include main cast, but that is still a lot. It might be the largest bonus crew we have had. And Annorax would have to count regardless, let's be honest.

Given the high number of copies of Voyager cast, they may not make them all bonus for all four weeks. I could see all Krenim getting a four-week bonus, so that way Annorax would get small bonus for the full month. They might add a few new Krenim, too: Obrist, Mrs. Annorax, Krenim Commandant, Peaceful Annorax (from alternate timeline once reunited with his wife).

I hope they make Kamikaze Janeway the featured mega-event legendary. There's precedent from Mirror Picard for using a version of one of the captains (but not making that captain's other versions bonus crew for the full four weeks). Since Annorax is already in the game, I think this is the obvious choice.

Then they could add a version of a Voyager crew from "Year of Hell" each week -- Security Officer Neelix, Blind Tuvok, Krenim Prisoner Paris, Krenim Prisoner Chakotay, Astrometrics Seven, Zahl Official, etc.

And finally, they could re-use a non-Year of Hell crew from the other Star Trek series each week, too, to be true to the theme of Timelines (mashing all the Star Trek shows together) and their current pattern of having one existing super rare featured each week. Perhaps ones with time travel experience: Professor Scott, Nexus Kirk, Gabriel Bell (Sisko), Time Loop Mudd, Bestselling Author Jake Sisko, Irumodic Syndrome Picard, Incognito Kirk, Silik, Trader Odo, Trader Worf, 1701 Jadzia Dax (although that one's a bit overused now), etc.

Bonus Idea: If they're feeling generous, they could throw in single copies of past time-travelling legendary crew at a high threshold, like 400k victory points: Annorax, Temporal Prisoner Chakotay, Laborer Spock, Navigator Stamets, 1701 Sisko, Martian Quark, Bell Riots Jadzia Dax, Temporal Agent Daniels, Sphere-Builder Presage, Undercover Sulu, Nyota Uhura, Lt. Commander La Forge, Commander Troi, etc. They could also feature one or more of these, especially Annorax, in the campaign(s) during this mega-event.

I also hope the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship is the new legendary ship for a skirmish event. Damaged Voyager could be the featured 2*, and regular U.S.S. Voyager the featured 4*.

Considering you have to do a bunch of stuff to get the legendary at the end of the campaign any money amount instead of dilithium is asking a lot of the non whales. These legendaries will be older and since db sells older legendaries for $9.99 without doing anything the price for the campaign with a non guaranteed legendary unless you do all the stuff should be far less. For $4 I can get a monthly card and 3000 dilithium. I can do a lot with 3000 dilithium. The price for premium campaign track should be $3 or less as with the campaign I still have to do a lot of things for seven or eight days and the legendary I can get is older and only a 1/5 which may or may not help me. I would pay $1 every week regardless of the legendary. I would pay $2 only sometimes if it was a good legendary or one I already had at 2/5 or more. I would pay $3 rarely and only if it was a great legendary. I can't see myself paying more than that.

All previous versions are named Tucker, why is the new card named
„Tourist Trip“ and not „Tourist Tucker“?

At least make Vault search display both name variants, when u search for „Tucker“.

That’s not quite the pose I was hoping for.

Everyone could just wait to see what the price is and then just buy the offer or not. Do we really need insanely long threads discussing it?

It passes the time when I’m bored
