Is this like X-Wing where you are pretty much required to buy every single ship just for the specific upgrade cards? X-wing is littered with "Y ships best possible upgrade is located only in Z ships box" type crap. How viable would it be to just buy klingon ships and use the crews/upgrades contained in those expansions.

holy poo poo I just looked up the command token thing. 5 extra free actions every OP event seems insane.

Also theres no ways anyones letting someone use that in a reg 100 pt game right?

What is the point of taking 2 photon torpedos on the same ship? Is it just to shoot them two rounds back to back without wasting an action to recharge it?

Whats the cheapest ship with a reverse move? I thought about using a ship to back and forth straddle range 3 of the tokens/Earth(hopfully in range of only 1 turret) and snipe the planet while two other ships deal with the other guy.

My OP5 cheese build which is remarkably similar to my OP 4 cheese build

Negvar class
Picard
Advanced weapon system

Vorcha class
Gul Dukat

KT'inga class

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.

Took this list to an OP4 today and went 2-1. Gul Duk got Barrage of Fired into oblivion before he could shoot in game 2 which pretty much took me out of the running for the prize ship as only the best and worst players (points wise) got a ship. Only 1 out of 11 people even bothered going for the Earth command token things. I will prob ditch the Keldon class for something else that can cloak or tank better. Every player but 1 was running a Klingon/Vulcan cloak build and there are better bullet sponges out there if I want to run a similar list.

Played OP5 today, came in second yet again, going 2-1.

Donatra
Defense Condition 1

Raptor Class (18)
Clark Terrel

Raptor Class (16)

Raptor Class (16)

Dontra stays perma cloaked for her buff and Condition Ones the first combat round. Your shittiest ships have 2 agil, an evade (their action) and a battle station. If by some miracle you don't lose a Raptor in the first exchange you're tossing 20 attack dice with battle stations.

Is there any crew that adds a weapon slot to a ship? I got a Bajoran scout ship from op6 and the dial is pretty great but everything else about it sucks and it only has crew slots. I wanted to turn it into a cheap(ish) missile boat type thing.

Trip Report: Tholian Web

Store had a rule that Borg and Species:90210 ships had to be faction pure. I guess everyone assumed noone else would run Borg because of it since noone but me used them. Went 3-0 and got the prize ship running:

Borg Sphere - generic (38)
Borg Captain (3)

Borg Sphere - generic (38)
Borg drone (0)

Hideki Fighters - 20
-----
99 pts


Only real challenge I had was a guy running a combo of Dom Battleship and a stacked super Valdore that tossed out 9 attack dice per round. Lost a Sphere before it could shoot but the remaining sphere and fighters beat down his valdore pretty quick and once he was down to the battleship it was over. The regular 3 point Borg captain is really pretty good. making GBS threads all over cloaked ships combat round 1 is great and its not like tanking your already crappy PS matters. Tons of people lost ships to the web of death. :shrug:

I wanna try running the named Tholian prize ship in a Borg list and see if people are dumb enough to take the bait and ignore the Spheres long enough to get behind their targets without taking damage.
The named Tholian captain has a great ability too.

It seems to be normal for events that give you a blind ship to use in the scenario. All other times (at least at my store) has been either pay $10 or buy a ship as your entrance fee.
