Well it's here,

Sisko is ok. A skill 8 with the ability to inflict damage back on the opponent or get a BS at the cost of an Aux. Not bad.


Nog is actually cool, 4 points to spend a Scan as if it were a BS or evade. He will find a home on the Flyer or Pegasus Maybe even a Breen ship

The ship itself is Federation I didn't think they would do it but they did. Interesting ability. If you don't have a Warp Core Breach you may ignore 3 damage and take a Warp Core Breach instead. Kinda fun if you have a way to repair damage. You could easily get rid of all of the core breaches in the deck this way

Garak is kinda Uhura plus some. 3 points to disable for +2 captain skill, but during the combat phase OR discard ro-roll up to 3 attack and defense dice.


Bashir, SUCKS, 4 points, discard to re-roll any die one time. Obviously meant to go along with the Warp Core Breach the ship is taking, but meh otherwise.


O'Brien, SUCKS BIG TIME, 5 point discard, to lower your shields target someone without shields to inflict 1 damage to their hull. WHAT THE , there are easier ways to go about this with out spending 5 points on a discard.


Dax, SUCKS, disable to place and evade token beside your ship after performing a red maneuver for 4 points, meh


Infiltration a 5 point discard to not be attacked for a round, but only if there is no friendly within 1-2 and there is an enemy withing 1-2, eh. A little situational


And that's it. I'm sure that most of these cards are good for the scenario but not adding a lot to the Feds overall. In a way I guess that's not necessarily because the Feds don't need a whole lot, so a mediocre ship every now and then is an ok thing. Sisko and Nog are a good reason to buy the pack, the rest are meh nothing to write home about. It would have been nice to get a decent O'Brien is that asking too much

Don't give a toss about the ship it's self.

Love this Sisko, like the Garak.

Am very sad we still don't have a good Jadzia, she's one of my all time favorite characters.

It seems that the developers do not like Jadzia, Bashir, or Obrein at all...

I mean, an easy fix to O'Brein is to make him a disable, not a discard. If he is an action to disable to deal an extra damage (without it being cancelled) isn't a bad trade... except for the stipulation that it has to be a unshielded and uncloaked ship.

Bashir as a 4 point discard for a SINGLE die reroll is STUPID.

Nog is nice, and I really like the feel of it, because it fits with Nog's abilities in the show.

Garak is pretty bad ass. 3 points to randomly bump your captain up by +2? YES PLEASE.

Infiltration is a little to situational for me. Great feel though, especially in 1 vs many scenarios.

Jadzia is not a terrible card in my opinion: a lot of ships have red maneuvers and it leaves them VERY exposed, and with the addition of an evade... She suddenly becomes very useful.

Sisko is down right fun: You shot me? Fin, take THIS! you smack them for a hit or a crit, or you gain a battlestations. Put him on the Thunderchild, and it gets REALLY mean...

The Robinson's ability is great if you attach a tech slot to the ship for Micro-repair relays. two rounds later, you have managed to completely repair the damage dealt to your hull.

Over all, not a bad pack. Not worth multiple buys, but not terrible.

Could be a lot of fun on the Thunderchild, "oh I evade, take some damage" "oh you hit my hull, take some damage" win-win I say.

The more I look at Sisko 8 the more I like it. I prefer Sisko 6 more, but the 8 has a place.

Sisko Six is not a bad Captain for the larger hull ships, true. I am a big fan of Sisko in general, as all three have their uses, more so than many of the other captains, in my humble opinion.
