Not yet, but soon I hope. I've already had times I needed to borrow dice for attack or defense, and that was before we had secondary weapons doing 10.

They are items limited to 1 per fleet. Some are used by the fleet, some a specific ship. So far we have:

1. Elite Attack Die - once per turn it can replace any one attack die. Has no blanks, an extra crit, and a double hit.
2. Command Bar - the set comes with ten token. Before the game you select five. Once per turn you can use one and flip it over - it can;t be used again this game. They can add a die, reroll a roll, set a die to a specific side, or as a free action give a battle-station, evade, scan, or target lock token.
3. Sideboard - not quite sure what it does. My venues prize support for the month was late, and this was overshadowed by...
4. Flagship - assigned to a specific ship. Increases three of the four stats, indicates an action that can be used as a free action if the ship can already use it or adds that option to use it if it cannot, and another bonus effect for friendly ships within a certain range. There are four faction specific and on the other side are four independent.
5. Dominion Fighters - counts as a resource, plays as a ship. No captain assigned, and instead of being given damage cards there is a stack of tokens on the ship card. One token is removed each time the squadron takes damage, no matter how many hits it would take - much like horde tokens, but they don't come back.
6. Federation Fighters - slightly different stats than the Dominion version, but basically the same.

The default is 100. Most captains are unique, and most ships have a named unique version and an unnamed generic.


There is a team builder I use on another site.

Other than the Romulan ship from the starter and a Bjoran ship I won, I've stuck with Klingon and Federation. Even those I didn't buy everything. I still have plenty of options for playing.

What the guy above me said.

But I would recommend keeping an eye out for a 2nd starter. Look at Target if you are ever there, sometimes they have them on clearance for $20. Or just drop $26 on gohasting.com right now for one. The dice pack is like $10 or more I think. It's well worth dropping the extra $10-$15 on another starter.

You cannot run multiples of the same named ship or named character. These have a star type thing to indicate they are unique. You can run multiples of the same generic ship and generic crew/captains.

Each ship has a unique named ship card and a non-unique generic card (usually at a cost of 2 less points or so, and has less stats and usually no special power).
