A: If the Dilemma specifically effects the ship only, then it has no effect since there is no ship. However, if the Dilemma effects the "crew", it does have an effect. For example, The Tarellian Plague Ship says, "All ship's crew immediately die from plague unless MEDICAL volunteers to permanently beam over (discarded) to Tarellians....". This applies to the crew from the Outpost as well (they are still a ship's crew after all, they just haven't reported to the ship) -- you would have to beam over a Medical Personnel or your whole crew is toast.

1) When an outpost extends its shields to a ship in its space, are the outpost's shields reduced?
2) Is the shield extended to all its ships in orbit?
3) If I have two outposts at the same location, can they both extend their shields?

1. No.
   
2. Yes (see page 29 of the rulebook).
   
3. No. In order for the outposts to do so, the ship would have to be docked in both outposts at the same time!

A: Neither. They are a more amorphous concept than that. They are "separate" from the mission location, so you treat missions done from an outpost similarly to how you do all missions (with an Away Team, etc.) The only exception is that ships can be "docked" at the outpost, so beaming is not necessary to get from an outpost to a ship.

A: Yes

A: No. Although the DS9 space station has holosuites, none of the current Outposts has holodecks. Perhaps a future one will, in which case it will say so on the card.

A: Play with what you have. If you stocked a spare outpost in your deck, you will usually be okay. And it takes a big effort to destroy an opponent's outpost and so this is unlikely to happen early in the game, meaning that you hopefully would already have much of your "stuff" in play to continue the battle, especially if you are currently ahead on points.

A: The answer is no to all of these. An outpost is not a ship.

1) Can I use a Spacedock with this outpost? It says "No repairs here."
2) Can I use my opponent's Neutral Outpost?
3) Can I mix personnel from different affiliations here?

1. Yes, you can put a Spacedock on a Neutral Outpost. This will allow any ship to be repaired there.
   
2. No, you cannot use an opponent's outpost.
   
3. You cannot "mix" personnel at a Neutral Outpost without a treaty in play. Treat it like a non aligned ship with "house arrest" rules as normal. However, you can have personnel from different affiliations use the outpost as long as they don't mix. For instance, you could play some Fed personnel there, and when they leave, you could play some Romulans.

A: Ships at an outpost are normally considered to be "docked" there, which means a direct doorway connection, such as the way the Enterprise docked at Starbase 74 in the episode "11001001" and other examples. It is also possible to "beam" between the outpost and a ship (and vice versa), if not prevented by another card. There are now several cards that prevent beaming, but none yet that prevent docking. Perhaps there will be one in an expansion.

A: They will be killed. See "Interrupts," below.
