Interceptor 8!

And OMG, 9 attack dice (10 if at range 1, and with Navigational Sensors, there is no reason why you would ever be in the forward fire arc and not be in range 1), fire at Captain Skill 10, reroll all blanks, reroll all [BS] dice... the ultimate Alpha Strike ship! If you can get this combo off... wow. Just.. wow.

As a blind ship... whew. At first I was like "An Interceptor when we've seen a Vor'cha and Bioship in the blinds? Really?" Well, I think I would still prefer one of those two ships to the Interceptor 8, but if I pulled it in a blind, I wouldn't complain.

Now, the interesting part is how I would use those cards on other ships. Specifically, Shakaar Edon and Ro Laren. I can find a use for those two in so many ship applications it almost makes my head spin.

Oh, and apparently David got some kind of hate mail or took something a little too personally based on the little Intro to his video, and the footnote at the end "How would you build it? (Please don't disagree)."

Ah well. I'm glad he posted, and he got rid of the annoying panning of the camera on the cards, and it sounds like he's reading from a script now! Not as lively as he was before, but he does sound better.

Oh, and remember how I said I'd hate to pull the klingon blind? Well, I think this would be the one ship I would NOT want to pull in a blind draw. It just has no staying power. Look at it funny, and it could explode. As someone pointed out at the Facebook page, with no shields and Direct Hit! critical effect, Romulan Cloaked Mines could one shot this ship even if the Interceptor had a Scan token next to it.

The challenge in using this will be to maneuver it in such a way that you will be able to get that +9 attack dice shot off. Playing against someone with this ship- it will be my #1 target. Easy to destroy, and +40 Fleet Points, yes please.

It is a great ship for the Bajorans, but as a blind, ooo look out. Just imagine if you pull this and your opponent has Magnometdic Guided Charges almost instant death. I'm glad that I'm playing in the Temporal Cold War for the blinds, everything else is icing

Yeah I thought the intro a little egocentric and condescending

Very disappointed that there'll be no Borg or independent blinds and instead we get this - with absolutely no 'build' part at all

There's lots of really weird attitude coming off this video. The Q quote in the intro, the 'please don't disagree'. His "Please LISTEN to it all, or at least the beginning." comment on the FB page...

I was willing to believe he'd just badly worded his FB 'aim to do better' as himself, but it was actually directed at the entire 'community'.

I will be watching the rest of these with the sound turned off. I find this attitude remarkably condescending and arrogant. I am very disappointed in WKs choice of this guy to present their previews.


As to the ship it's self, nothing much to say on it other than I expect to hear a fair few groans from people at OPs if this is the ship they pull, a sort of joker in the pack I'm hoping.

Good to see Ro Laren, shame her full effect does not transfer to federation ships or I'd have sought her out.

well at least klingons are looking up

now this is the worst blind ever, love the captian...

I am anticipating some how collecting ALOT of these... I have this habit of inheriting the Blinds that nobody wants. Because of this, I have 2 Bannana boats, 7 D'koras, 2 Vulcans, and 9 Scout cubes.
