The grand prize for the Classic Story Line is the Enterprise-A Refit. Have a look!



Let's talk about James T. Kirk first. I just want to say this guy is ballin'. Wow he is a great captain! Maybe still not as good as Free Action Picard, but I could see him doing very well on the right ship. Another skill 9 captain for the Feds when some factions don't have any skill 9 captains at all! Ah well.

Leonard McCoy... 4 point discard to perform a captain's card text as a free action. I'd be tempted to also have Beverly Crusher on this ship to keep Bones around for an extra turn. I can really see some shenanigans you could pull using this card.

Isolation Door- OK, really? 3 points for a get rid of all my crits (flip the cards over) and repair one damage card? I thought Wizkids was moving away from the must have prizes, but this pack sure looks like one to me.

The Ent-A Refit is just awesome. Throw on a Capt Spock for the free Scan token, and you have an auto +1 attack die, or more vs. a cloaked ship. From there, you could go in so many different directions with this ship. It's a fantastic ship vs. cloaked ships. Even better- it trades one crew slot for a tech slot. Multi-adpative Shields anyone? Or, oh, you didn't take Capt Spock, but you did take High Energy Sensor Sweep, right? Such a great ship! Not a must have like the HMS Bounty prize ship, but oh so good.

Did I miss anything? Hmm. Oh yeah! Valeris. What can be said? Perform a green maneuver, get a free evade token. For 3 points. With all the evade builds out there these days, why would they throw another log on the fire? USS Voyager, Captain Ahab Picard (auto crit, +1 defense die against chosen faction), Valeris, Hikaru Sulu (action: Gain +2 evade dice), and Tom Paris: I perform a green maneuver, and against my chosen faction, I get 6 evade dice, one evade token, and can convert one BS into an evade. That's just off the top of my head! I see a lot of Tom Paris and Valeris crew being on ships from now on. There is no reason not to get this card. It's a steal at 3 points.

So the classic storyline OP concludes with two VERY good prize packs. If I can't win them, I'm definitely hitting up eBay for them.

This is a good solid pack

Ent A is going to be a beast with Type 8 and Upgraded Phasers you will have 6 dice and 7 against cloaked ships. Take that Chang!

McCoy is ok, but it is sad that this is his 3rd card and it is still mediocre.

Valaris is now Rudolf Ransom's best friend. The issue with himhas always been action economy, now we have it for 3 points Put these two on any ship with a 360 any you are set. Just keep doing greens. Honestly if you are just doing greens, take Voyager.

Isolation door is nice, but I like Micro Power Relays better, same cost but not a discard . Either is better than the Romulan equivalent from the Talvath, Warp Core Ejection System, that steaming pile of monkey

Kirk is nice, however he doesn't work exactly like people think he does. His action gives a BS token and you can spend it for to reroll 2 dice. The rest of his text is redundant saying you can take a BS action as a free action "IF ABLE".

A lot of folks think he gives a BS action and a token but he doesn't but just says if you have a way to take a BS as a free action you may. Now what does that mean, it means he is perfect for the Hathaway that can take a 2nd action from the action bar for free by taking an Aux. In all still cool jist have to make sure people are using him right.

This pack is awesome, Ent-A, Kirk and Valeris are all really powerful.
As Baldrick says, with type 8 & upgraded phasers on the Ent-A is a beast.
Kirk is effectively a battle station or target lock, as you can spend the token to convert or re-roll dice depending on what you roll. When your getting 6-7 dice out of the Ent-A that is nice. Just need to make sure your have a free scan token from something else.
I might have to go to Ebay to make sure I get one of these, and maybe invest in a better model for the re-fit, all the attack wing ones I've seen have really bent nacelles.

it's the quiet ones you have to look out for. Their the ones that change the world, the loud ones just take the credit for it.
