CURRENT RULINGS UPDATE
10/29/01
This special "update" document contains only new or changed Current
Rulings issued since the last Current Rulings document (09/24/01). A
complete set of Star Trek Customizable Card Game rules for standard
play consists of the following documents, available on the Decipher
website:
Rulebook Version 1.7 (August 2000)
Glossary Version 1.7 (August 2000)
Current Rulings (10/29/01 - full version)
SIGNIFICANT RULINGS CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS
For details see the full ruling below.
* v Borg Cube - Revised text allowing non-[BO] equipment to report aboard.
* scouting locations - You must complete scouting for an objective
even if you already resolved all dilemmas under a previous objective.
RULINGS
* Assimilate Species - You may not target a species with this
objective if the species is unnamed (e.g., Vekor, Fennim). Your
opponent need not show you his personnel until after you have
targeted a species. See showing your cards.
* bonus point area - Unless otherwise specified, cards in the bonus
point area are no longer in play. For example, a unique captive
placed in the point area using Relics of the Chase does not prevent
its owner from reporting another copy of that personnel.
* Borg - "Borg" is both an affiliation and a species.
* v Borg Cube, Queen's Borg Cube, Locutus' Borg Cube - Revised text:
Your equipment and Borg personnel may report aboard.
Delete the ruling in the Glossary that only [BO] equipment may report
aboard these ships.
* Borg Tactical Cube - This ship is a "Borg cube" (for cards such as
Commandeer Ship or Harness Particle 010) but may not be downloaded by
Retask (which downloads the ship named [univ] Borg Cube).
* Construct Starship - This objective will not allow you to download
a facility that has no text allowing it to play, such as Husnock
Outpost, which may only be seeded.
* Gegis - This personnel's special skill makes all your [Holo] and
[Fer] personnel at his location compatible.
* Handshake - When you play this incident for its first function, the
number of cards you have in hand includes the Handshake card.
* Impressive Trophies - "Opponent's choice" on this dilemma means
that your opponent may examine all the cards in your crew or Away
Team before choosing a captive meeting either of the listed criteria.
* landed ships - Personnel may beam to and from a landed ship even if
a card (such as Invasive Transporters or Transport Drone) is required
to enable the transport. Such cards do not target a ship but simply
allow beaming through SHIELDS. Cards *may* report aboard a landed
ship (if reporting is allowed by card text).
* Lansor - When this personnel reports (or is seeded face up at an
outpost in Warp Speed play), you may download Marika and/or P'Chan if
each is not already in play. You must discard Lansor at the end of
any player's turn unless both Marika and P'Chan are in play. Either
player's Marika or P'Chan in play prevents a download and keeps
Lansor from being discarded. Marika's and P'Chan's skills and
restrictions work similarly.
* Marika - See Lansor.
* P'Chan - See Lansor.
* Quantum Slipstream Drive - "Full RANGE", which must be available in
order to use this event, includes a ship's printed RANGE plus
enhancements. The ship must have nothing reducing its RANGE and must
have used no RANGE yet this turn.
* Reginald Barclay (The Borg) - This personnel scores bonus points
only for missions you solve while he is play.
* Relics of the Chase - See bonus point area.
* Rituals of the Hunt - This incident is not discarded until after a
capture is fully resolved, including any "just" action triggered by
the capture. Thus, you may not use Hirogen Hunt's text to convert a
Fajo's Gallery card draw to a download to immediately play another
Rituals of the Hunt, because the incident is unique.
* scouting locations - An objective that allows you to scout a
location requires you to complete scouting for that objective in
order to probe to complete it. For example, if you scout a mission
with Establish Gateway and resolve all dilemmas, then switch to
another objective with A Change of Plans before the end of your turn,
scouting is complete at the end of that turn for Establish Gateway,
but not for the new objective. You must scout the mission again on a
subsequent turn before scouting is complete for the new objective.
* Seven of Nine (Borg) - This personnel may apply one, two, or all
three of its subcommand icons (OR its [Borg] icon) toward staffing a
Borg ship.
