So, my take away is this thing is a total cheese-factor surprise:
RIS Pi (16)
-Brocha (1)
-Covert Mission (6)
-Patahk (1)
-Distress Signal (2)

Total: 26 SP... for a potential of 6 Attack (once) and 10 Defense Dice (once)... Which is kind of insane.

I like it as a whole: not game changing, but has some useful cards. I think Covert mission is a little overpriced, but not too much (I'd say a 4 or a 3 cost would be better for a discard), Pardek is a little overpriced as well, but considering he can be used to keep you alive an extra turn...meh. Self Destruct Sequence is a little underpowered, but none the less is kind of nice. Cross faction shenanigans combined this with I stab at thee would be gnarly.

This one isn't bad, the only downside I would say is that it should have come with an Admiral Tamolok

My initial thouht for this one is

16 Pi
01 Bochra
03 Quark (Disruptor Pulse)

20 points for 4 attacks on everything in your forward arch, or take Disruptor beams for 6 attacks.

a few extra points for IG or Advanced Cloak isn't a bad idea.

Well forget Bochra on any other ship. It was just pointed out to me that his ability only works on Scout ship, what a waste.

I am kinda bummed about that as well, since Officer exchange would have made that nice.

I am thinking for home games we may be getting rid of a lot of the nonsensical ships class restrictions. We have been playing that Tactical Sensors from the Somraw can go on any Klingon ship not just a raptor.

Ya know, the ship class restrictions would make more sense if they were applied to more ships in a consistent fashion. Instead, it feels like Wizkids tries to make a lackluster ship a little bit better by giving it an OP card that can only be used on that ship. Too bad it still falls short.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that Bochra can only work on a scout and Riker (Hathaway) works on any ship when they basically do the same thing. Just like Type 8 Phasers can go on any ship with 3 attack or less, but Additional Phaser Array from the Terix is restricted mto D'Deridex class. WTF
