Oh, the Wave 2 ships are a lot if fun! I don't have the Cardassian ship, yet, but it's a serious boost for Dominion fleets, and the Excelsior is a great mid-range Federation ship. Haven't played with the Klingon Bird of Prey, yet, but I really like the synergy of the crew upgrades on that one.

Something to look forward to!

Got 2 Excelsiors today, happy to replace the useless galaxy with them

Got my Wave 2s today.

Excelsior is pretty decent, Federation needed a ship like that.
Keldon class is a beast!
Bird of prey is great but not how I felt a small attack ship should be - as much hull as Excelsior!? Why no agility 2 Klingon ships?

King Tiger · « **Reply #108 on:** January 21, 2014, 08:42:07 PM »

Won the Sutherland using 2 excelsiors on Sunday, it IS the ship feds needed

My fleet was
Picard with Feint
USS Excelsior with positron beam and Quantom torpedoes
Dmitri Valtane
Janice Rand
Miles O'Brien

Sisko with Feint
Excelsior class with positron and photons
Chekov
Kyle

Elite die
Admiral strike force
Admiral united force

Opposed fleets were
2 kraxon fleet, with Dukat, cloaks, admirals orders and other bits
3 Deridex with a 7, 6 and I think 5 captain, no upgrades, generic ships
1 neghvar and 2 BoP fleet, with 9, 7, 6 captains, one was Martok

Lost 1 ship to kraxon fleet.

Nicely done! Your fleet looks good, but I'd be pretty worried facing down 3 D'Deridex. They're so dodgy, and can really soak up a lot of damage.

emperorpenguin · « **Reply #110 on:** January 22, 2014, 09:42:48 AM »

But as a Romulan player I can tell you they don't hit hard enough with only 3 attack. They need upgrades. I'd rather 3 bare Valdores than D'deridex

King Tiger · « **Reply #111 on:** January 22, 2014, 11:46:38 AM »

Well the central Deridex was hit for 7 damage turn 2, so I don't think valdores would make a difference, the one furthest from the planet and closest to me had no arc on turn 3 and was killed, the other was hit by the orbital platforms while cloaked, poor die rolls and 2 direct hit cards ended her.

Bit of a teaser!

That thing looks like an absolute beast! Some new symbols in the action and upgrade bars, so it will be cool to see what the Borg do.

I will be buying 2 of those when they come out... very nice.

LGW

I was hoping they would make the Borg hard, glad to see they have, though they will probably have low skill captains, the Borg aren't really the fastest or most tactical race, they just steamroller

Whitwort Stormbringer · « **Reply #115 on:** January 31, 2014, 08:44:31 PM »

Yeah, I'm hoping that they get relatively few true captains (queen, Locutus, I'm hard-pressed to think of any others), but that most ships come with at least one, preferably two, captain cards that are just named "The Collective," and would function just like a captain. They could have a 0-point, skill 1 "Collective" and maybe a 2-point, skill 4 "Collective" or something like that.

That way, players get some degree of customization when building a Borg force, but without losing the "faceless horde" feeling of the Borg from the show. Similarly, all of their crew upgrades could just be named "Drone," even if they have some slightly different abilities.

Here's a photo of the DS9 model from Toyfair:

Shame it's the prize for the culmination of the tournament series, I've got no hope of winning one, but it looks awfully cool! Oh well, the cardboard token will have to do, for now. Maybe they'll sell it somehwere down the line, although there are other models of the station that could fill in, in a pinch, and I could just set one of those atop the token.

Wow

I finally managed to meet up with some fellow gamers today and got my mitts on the command tokens and reinforcement sideboard

Hoping that we can finally get some Attack Wing going here and maybe some prizes

obsidian3d · « **Reply #118 on:** February 21, 2014, 06:04:20 PM »

I've been playing since the start of the game, and running tournaments at one local shop since month 3. Points wise I think I could win a station with a good performance in month 6, but as nice looking as that model is, I'm not really interested in it. I'd rather one of my players win it and be super happy with it.

It would make a very nice display piece however...

I'd love to be able to put that on the table when trying to win over new convertites
