LGW

And here's the pics

I am pretty disappointed that the Romulans aren't getting a mid-size ship before they switch away to Borg releases. As-is, they are sorely lacking in that regard.

[Lord GreyWolf]

ok I need to get the following:
U.S.S Voyager <---- for my Wife finger's crossed she might even play. if not I'll have to get two one for to have and one for me to play.]
U.S.S Defiant  
U.S.S Excelsior
I.K.S Kronos One
I.K.S Koraga
Borg Sphere 4270 <---- for ME!!!!
Bioship Alpha

I was going to get the Romulans but the range is sort of MEH!!!!.

I can hold out till April and then do one decent order. [or crumble and order the Starter set and practice playing the game] thx for spreading the addiction.

But a romulan bird of prey is basically a light cruiser, so that's mid sized, so you have 3 technically, plus you could just use a D7 and add plasma torps to it.

[obsidian3d]

I forgot that the Gal Gath'Thong is a Romulan ship. Hopefully it will round out the fleet a little bit. If I can pick up the month 3 prize ship to have a second named D'Deridex that will go a long way too. Hopefully the event tonight will turn out better for me than the last one.

As to using a D7 with my Romulan fleet, it's personally not an option as I play fleet pure as much as possible unless a scenario calls for it. I realize it's a self-imposed restriction others may not care for, but it's how I enjoy playing the game.

[obsidian3d]

I did net myself the OP 3 Romulan ship the other day. I like that it's got slightly different upgrade slots than the starter D'deridex, but most of the other cards are so-so. I haven't had much of a chance to see what kind of list I could put together with the two D'deridex ships as the core of a fleet.

[King Tiger]

I can certainly understand the restriction, but I'm sure wizkids will release the Romulan KR cruiser eventually, and knowing them will just be a white D7 model anyway

[obsidian3d]

With wave 2's release I think there are two dozen ships available (if you include the first four prize ships). That is a lot of variety available, whether one plays faction pure or mix-n-match. I've still got stuff from wave 1 I haven't tried out yet!

[Lord GreyWolf]

I think I'll be pure faction...

Federation, Klingon and Borg.

really looking forward to April.

I got on this train at Horisont V couple of weekends ago. I think that the way the game engine is used in this reincarnation really gives a lot of tactical depth to games, and simulates ship vs ship in the ST universe quite well.

Going to teach my 10 and 7 years old daughters this, too (they are already hooked on W-Wing)

I'd say the Klingons are the easiest faction to start out with. They hit hard and don't require the use of a lot of crew or upgrades. Being able to minimize the amount of stuff you need to remember helps when learning. The Federation has a lot of choices for upgrades but their ships aren't as strong or maneuverable. That means you're making up the difference with the upgrades, and thus adding complexity to your game. I do think playing the Feds well is a more rewarding experience in the long run.

I'm very interested to see what the Borg are going to be like. I'm thinking low shields but high hull and attack, likely with ship/crew/tech abilities that help them regenerate. Cloaking and secondary weapon options will probably be minimal. I foresee tractor beams to lock down opposing ships and abilities that let you steal (assimilate) enemy crew members and use them for yourself. Should be fun!

[Bergil]

Just out of interest, are they correctly scaled?

[Lord GreyWolf]

I think also the "other" ships would get new "borg" defensive cards... osculating phasers, ablative armour etc...

I want some Borg Cubes... and then do the Borg Vs Species 8472 now that will be fun.
