The BoardGameGeeks are starting to fret that this might mean the E is going to be an OP exclusive LE, which as much as I don't jump on their constant whining about tourney prizes... Good God would making such an essential ship a prize exclusive suck. That's totally just speculation, though. In any event it would be weird not to have the E available in a borg-centric op storyline. Maybe it'll be in wave eight!

There would actually be a use for a 0-point crew card that did nothing (an easy way to use cards that "Disable a crew and this to...", "Discard a crew upgrade to...") and that is exactly how I picture Harry Kim.

I'm sure spectators would be welcome.

I'm thinking about trying another two ship build with a flagship and the Excelsior. Excelsior - 26 Sulu - 4 Transwarp Drive - 3 Spock - 5 Photon Torps(5dmg) - 5 Engage - 3 Total points: 46 Reliant - 20 Flagship - 10 Khan - 5 Scotty - 5 Joachim - 4 Photon Torps(Dominion) - 5 Antimatter Mines - 5 Total points: 54 Using the flagship that gives +1 attack, agility, & shields, as well as a free battlestations and +1 def to friendlies within range 1.

Why don't they ever actually call them spoonheads? You'd think there would be more ethnic slurs from people just emerging from slavery. However, I am now thinking of entering a tournament with an all Cardassian fleet called "Spoonhead Assault Group Alpha".

"Spoonhead" is indeed a canonical slur for the Cardassians. I think even O'Brien might have let the S-word slip once or twice.

I'll definitely have to give the Kraxon a try with counterattack after I get Dukat. I'm also thinking of replacing the photons with plasma torps. Sacrificing the extra range for re-rolling blanks seems like a fair trade if it means more battlestations for crits.

OP5 looks like it's going to be a giant loving mess and is practically a scenario designed for cloaked ships. Discuss. EDIT: Here's something I think might work against ALL THE OWPS. United Force 0pts Keldon Class Ship Gul Dukat Cloak Boheeka 35pts Koranak + Dominion Flagship Gul Evek Cloak Breen Aide 44pts Keldon Class Ship Sar Cloak 29pts I am not getting hit by any nonsense.

You planning to use the Koranak to prime OWPs for destruction? I don't like the tech upgrade cloaks. I wouldn't like to have to re-enable them after use, and the hull on ships that don't typically cloak is lower than the usual suspects.

My OP5 cheese build which is remarkably similar to my OP 4 cheese build Negvar class Picard Advanced weapon system Vorcha class Gul Dukat Advanced weapon system KT'inga class Romulan Cpt Dont know if I want to keep the extra KT'inga there for more red dice or just load out the other 2 with shield regen crew + dorsal weapon array. 360 firing arc would allow more assholish flying.

Flagship is the OP4 reward, Strike Force (and Unified Force) are Admiral's Orders which are print-and-play things from the website. Think of them a bit like tier lists from Warmachine if you're familiar. "If you abide by X restriction in your build you can get Y boon."

It's clever, I don't see it beating something like 4 Vor'chas with Gowron. I realize the idea is to stay out of arcs, but I think that's easier said than done. You can basically count on a list that just wants to bring bare ships with big primaries swatting down 3 hull/0 shields/no cloak ships like gnats, esp since they can target lock them at will.

RomSpam is pretty effective in our local meta so that's probably not too bad. It may get you hit in the face though.
