So I acquired a set of Q faction cards and I think Admiral Q has a lot of potential. He is -1 to skill, but there are ways to mitigate that. There are lots of skill boost cards out there, Picard with Riker from the Pegasus and Admiral Q would still have you at skill 11.

I feel that Romulans could benefit a lot from Q. Being able to basically come about with a D'Deridex is nice, it hels mitigate the lack of a rear arc on the Warbird. Salatrel seems like a good fit for Q because with her captain text you would still shoot at 10 with an enemy in your arc. The biggest down side for Romulans is that to take Admiral Q you have to give up Admiral Mendak which isn't always worth it.

Now if you don't have a small stack of Dorsal Phaser Arrays laying around Q would be a help to the Federation too. Thinking along the same line as above the Doctor is a good captain to go along with Admiral Q. Again he doesn't care about the drop in skill because he is probably your lowest captain anyway and again the Doctor's text takes him back to 10.

Not terribly expensive. You don't care about Aux tokens so the doctor can still use his text. If you get a stack of Aux tokens from using Q the ship can still take an action. Would be to pull a 2 turn, then 180 with Q to hit someone, like those fancy turns in X-Wing

Klingons could benefit from him as well. Martok Plus Q admiril and with all thier Sensor echo stuff. It could be ugly for anyone against them and Q.

I can just hear Q saying something lile this: 'Listen micro brain just do what I tell you, I'm the marshal your the (snide look) whatever you are'


Roms with Romulan Helmsman could seriously midigate the AUX problem.

He would be great for Klingons! I didn't think about combining Admiral Q and the Ning'Tao in one fleet. That could be a fun surprise for someone

Unfortunately the Romulan Helmsman won't do much with Q, he just turns a red maneuver into a white. However the Auxiliary Control Room and Power Grid from the Vulcans will do what you want.

Q could also be useful for Cardassians and those boats they fly around in Having a Keldon suddenly do a 180 on you would be quite a sight
