I had two more RiF this weekend.

Saturday was a mixed faction anything goes event. For thos I flew:

24 Keldon Class
07 Picard
04 Conditional Surrender
02 Boheeka
01 Shroud
03 Dorsal Weapons Array
04 Cloaked Mines

24 Keldon Class
05 Dukat
05 Dominion Fleet Captain
00 Conditional Surrender
02 Xintan Rax
04 Cyrano Jones
01 Shroud
04 Cloaked Mines

My Blind was the Ferengi

22 Bok's Marauder
04 Bok
04 Photons

Round 1 was a bye

Round 2 was against a Sphere, Dimond w/Picard (8) 8 and Vulcan blind. My opponent didn't focus on any one Keldons. Turn 1 Picard took 5 shields off of the Diamond, Dukat and Bok took all the shields off the sphere. Turn 2 Picards and Dukat destroy the Diamond. Bok picks on the Sphere. Turn 3 Picard and Dukat destroy the Sphere, the Vulcan destroys Bok. I was able to keep his borg in my front arc because he didn't want to go through my cloaked mines. The Keldons and the Vulcan were facing the wrong way so it took 4 turns for them to meet back up. I did have Dukat beam 7 excess tribbles over to the Vulcan before Picard destroyed it.

Round 3 was against a Voyager Cube combo with a Prakesh blind. Again we were shooting on turn 1. This time my opponent focused on Dukat first. Turn 1 I crippled the cube. Turn 2 Picard destroyed the cube, Dukat took some shields off of Voyager. Bok and the Prekesh traded shots. Voyager destroyed Dukat. Turn 3 Picard only had his dorsay on Voyage so just took out a 2 shields. Voyager took out Bok. The Prakesh didn't have a shot. Turn 4 Picard landed 4 hits and 2 crits on Voyager and she went down. It then took me 4 or 5 turns to chase down the Prakesh, but I got him.

With a by and 2 wins I came in 1st.

Today was a faction pure event. I decided to fly:

20 B'Rel
05 Martok

20 B'Rel
04 Gowron

20 B'Rel
00 Generic
01 Klag

20 B'Rel
00 Generic

Again my blind was Bok's Marauder

22 Bok's Marauder
04 Bok
04 Photons

Only 2 of use showed up today. I guess everyone else had football tickets

My opponent had a loaded flagship battle cruiser w/Dukat and everything under the sun including 2 Volley of torpedoes. His blind was the Prakesh.

I cloaked up and on turn 2 the the shooting start. I focused in Dukat w/Martok and the 2 Generic B'Rels. Dukat nuked Gowron before he could shoot. I was able to take out Dukat's shields and get him down to 5 hull. Bok and the Prakesh traded shots. Turn 2, one B'Rel was out of position. Martok and the other generic took Dukat down to 1 hull. I think I lost 1 B'rel to Dukat. Bok got some more hits on the Prakesh. Turn 3 Martok finished off Dukat. I think it took another turn to get the Prakesh.

So with only 2 of us I took 1st and the other guy got 2nd.

The fruits of my RiF 1 labors I can't wait to play some games with these guys.

You are officially a crazy sumbich. How are you finding the Dom fleet cap? I'm not 100% on it. BTW, when you end up with 3 of the Dom/Borg ships, I'll happily take one off you

Thanks.

At first i felt a little bad taking double Conditional Surrender, but after facing all 3 of the borgs big ships and Voyager I got over it fast.
I really only took the fleet captain to get Dukat up to skill 9 and give me a crew slot for Cyrano Jones, I love me some tribbbles I haven't used the fleet captain for its ability yet. I am not a big dominion player, buy when I do I like thins like the EM pulse so it may come in handy for that.

I am now ahead of schedule on my blind ships. At first I wanted 2 of all except the borg, only need one of those. However I picked up 2 extra this weekend so now I have 1 Kazon, 1 Prakesh, 1 Borg, 2 Ferengi. I only need the Vulcan now and there is still month 2 and 3 to go don't tell my wife. I am sure in December she will try and talk me out of at least one so it may balance out.
