Sir DonkeyPunch posted:Yeah, but he'd be rolling a single dice against the HQ True, but the question was which was cheapest. The Enterprise/Constitution would be a couple points more and let you roll 2 dice at SFHQ. In this event it might be worth spending the extra two points on the actual enterprise as often as you're going to be under aux power.

Though additional shield might be handy Well he'll be only rolling 2 dice against SFHQ-- and it DOES get the extra defense die if he's firing primaries at range 3. So Scan, BS, or Target Lock could come in handy. And if someone does decide to jump his designated SFHQ-blower-upper he can throw some wiggles in there. Though making the USS Enterprise attack Starfleet Headquarters is Not Okay.

So here's how you really do it: -Ferengi Missile Launchers -Boheeka -Drex Go to battlestations with Picard or Dukat, activate Drex, fire the missiles. You're getting 2 attacks at 1 die, but between Drex and Boheeka they auto hit, and you get 2 tokens from SFHQ per turn.

cloaked mines are the most amazing poo poo, I won OP2 based on having three of them. Dropped them in a cluster and it prevented people from avoiding the platforms or my mines which lead to me winning every single matchup! I can't see them not being amazing tbh

LordLobo posted:Is the only way to get more dice for this game more starter sets? Do I even want a 2nd starter set? For the forseeable future yes. The only other alternative is to get Xwing dice and treat the focus (eyeball) results as evades. Or I guess standard d8s and 3-4 battleatations 5-7 hit 8 crit. Though I doubt you can use either option in most "official" OP tourneys. As far as the utity of a second starter a second Vorcha is cool, a second warbird marginal and a second Galaxy not that great. Most of the upgrades are nice to double up on though. Counter attack, antimatter mines, engage, advanvced weapon system (tho now that comes in the Kogora too). EDIT: and as I anticipated I've missplaced a maneuver template already, so I'm going to have to pop the sharp 2 out of my backup kit as well...

If they're willing to go with expanded stuff, which I really hope they are, there's a ton. A quick glance at wikipedia says that there are at least 60 classes of Federation ships alone. (Make the drat Vesta you bastards)

The truth is all these sculpts have already been made for the Star Trek Tactics line, which I had never heard of, but appears to use the same rules as HeroClix. Just glancing at the Miniature Market page looks like they have the NX series, a couple of partially assimilated vessels, the Sovereign, and maybe some other borg ships in the pipe

If the issues that the Star Trek: Online devs have had are any indication, CBS keeps an absolute stranglehold on their existing ship designs and rights to create new ones. It doesn't stop them, but approval is apparently a slow, grudging process.

Here's a martha stuart tip for ya: Take a marker in the color of your chosen faction and run it along all the bare cardboard edges of your range/maneuver templates. It looks a lot nicer and now you're less likely to have that rear end in a top hat across from you at the OP game accidently scoop yours up!
