Comment or send in new ideas. A Klingon version of Worf (Uniform and all)? How about a mission or dillema that needs Barbering. Cut Targ’s hair? Maybe even a Klingon or Romulan shuttle.

If you have any cards that you would like me to rate (Or have rated and want me to publish it) Send the card and it’s ratings. I.K.C. Bortas Vor’cha Class Cmdr = Gowron C,S,S crew requirement Cloaking Device, Tractor Beam Range 9 Weapons 9 Shields 7. Good attack ship. It has wonderful range and weapons, although hefty crew requirements and paper-thin shields. Cloaking Device makes up for the lack of shields, but a holodeck is needed for more versitility. Rating 8.5/10 I.K.C. Fek’lhr Voodieh Class C,S,[AU],[AU] Cloaking Device, Holodeck, Tractor Beam Range 11 Weapons 9 Shields 8 A great fighting ship with shields that not even the Enterprise can break. The range is formidable even with Barion Buildup. A huge crew requirement makes this card hard to man. Rating 8/10 Governor Worf C,[AU] V.I.P. SECURITY, Honor x 2, Navigation, Diplomacy, Leadership INTEGRITY 8 CUNNING 7 STRENGTH 8 It seems as though Worf hasn’t lost his skills. He retains Security , Diplomacy, Honor x 2 and Navigation with a Bonus of V.I.P. and leadership. The only problem is easily remedied, the AU symbol. Rating 9.5/10 Gowron C V.I.P Leadership x 2, Diplomacy, Honor INTEGRITY 8 CUNNING 7 STRENGTH 9 Typical VIP that can pass most Leadership and Diplomcay missions. Leadership x 2 doesn’t help at all. No missions so far need the x 2. The honor is useful for many missions and some dilemmas. He is the 3rd strongest Klingon that there is. Good collector’s card, not as playable as some may have wanted. Rating 7/10 Warped Space Space Mission SCIENCE x 2 + Navagation + Astrophysics 45 points, Klingon Only Klingon Range 5, Opponant’s range 1 This is a very easy card to pass. Two common cards can pass it: Vekor + Torin! An Easy 45 points! The only problem is the high range on your side, but isn’t it worth it? Rating 10/10 Federation Fanatic Beverly Picard C,[AU] Officer MEDICAL x 2, Biology, Leadership INTEGRITY ? CUNNING ? STRENGTH ? She has retained all of her original skills from the original card except the skill of Exobiology. This is a important skill and she isn’t as good without it. The [AU] symbol makes her good for commanding Big Ships such as the Future Enterprise. Rating 7.5/10 Future Enterprise Galaxy Class Crew Req. C,[AU],[AU],[AU] Cloaking Device, Tractor Beam, Holodeck RANGE 13, WEAPONS 10, SHIELDS 9 This ship is the best one yet, except it has a nearly impossible crew requirement. It cannot be defeated by any one ship along except a copy of itself. It has the highest weapon rating and is the ONLY FEDERATION SHIP THAT HAS WEAPONS HIGHER THAN SHIELDS. It is versitile and VERY FAST. The only Fed ship with a cloaking device makes up for it’s ‘lack’ of shielding. Rating 9/10 U.S.S. Enterprise Galaxy Class C,S,S Tractor Beam, Holodeck RANGE 9 WEAPONS 8 SHIELDS 9 This ship has a mediocre Crew requirement, but great stats. It has the highest total of its stats in the Non-Alternate Universe ships class. Unfortunately the Qu’Vat is immune and the Fek’lhr is also immune to it. It’s weapons need some work but its shields and range are good. Rating 8.5/10 Into The Wormhole Cards Romulans Can’t Do Without Here are some cards that a Romulan deck cannot do without: DECIUS D’deridex Class C, S, [AU] Cloaking Device, Holodeck, Tractor Beam RANGE: 10 WEAPONS: 9 SHIELDS: 8 For It’s Crew requirment, this ship is the most powerful ship availiable for a romulan player. It’s high weapon ratings allow it to engage most ships with a high probability of victory. It’s high range allows it to travel across the spaceline to missions quickly ( It’s also allows you to escape the clutches of those ships that you cannot beat. ) It also has a Holodeck to round out it’s overwhelming versatlity. Rating: 9/10 Commander Tomalok Officer C,[AU] Diplomacy, Leadership INTEGRITY 7 CUNNING 7 STRENGTH 9 The infamous Villain of the Enterprise is back again! And this time he’s even better than the original version. He’s pretty much the same as the original Tomalok, with an additional integrity point ( for what reason I’m not sure ) and because he’s an alternate universe rare, he also has an [AU] sign. The only thing that I think should be added is the skill of honor. Rating:8/10 Tokath Officer S Anthropology, Honor INTEGRITY 6 CUNNING 7 STRENGTH 6 This character is one of three romulans that possesses the skill of honor. He is also the hardest of the three to get ( Toreth and N’vek being the other two). This character also has the skill of Anthropology which is extremely hard to find in a romulan deck. Athough his strength ratings are pretty low, his other stats are exceptional for a romulan. Rating: 8.75/10 Khazara D’Derex Class Cloaking Device, Holodeck C,S,S RANGE 9 WEAPONS 9 SHIELDS 7 When playing against Klingons, this ship is an absolute requirment! The range & Weapons are formidable but the shields are paper-thin, surprisingly,it is exactly like the Bortas. Rating: 8.5/10 The Neutral Zone’s feature is: Edo Vessel Unknown Class C,[AU],[AU] Ignore half of the attacks made against this ship RANGE 5 WEAPONS 10 SHIELDS 8 This ship has a hefty crew requirement. It is very powerful and could even down a Future Enterprise. It provides immense safety with wonderful shields and a dodge half of the attacks equipment. It isn’t very versitile as it doesn’t have a tractor beam or a holodeck. It is the slowest ship yet and can’t even pass FGC-47 research without Navigation on board. It’s range makes it weak. You should use this card to defend your outposts or aid nearby ships in need. Rating 5.5/10 Q&A section. Readers should respond to the questions asked and also should ask some of their own Q: Can Borg ship be defeated by a ‘Ship Siezure Card’. It is technically empty…? A: ??? Q: Can one Doorway be played to counter more than one Temporal Rift at a time. Eg: temporal rift, Doorway (1) Temporal rift, Doorway (1) A: ??? Q: If no Horga’hn is in effect and a person plays a Temporal Rift on my ship during my turn, does it come back at the end of their turn, or at the end of my turn leaving it vulnerable to attack. A: ??? Q: Does Barbering Have any use? A: OF COURSE NOT! Q: Which of the Three are better: Q2, Amanda Rogers, or Uxbridge? A: Send ‘em in… Please respond to any/all of these questions. Classifieds Pdmd8: I am looking for the Khazara and the Decius for a reasonable price! Any romulan only planet missions would be welcomed.
