Would you have to give one of your characters the debuff from these guys so you can carry them to the enemies? Because the only other method of transport is telekinesis or bouncing them around with frogman from SFOSM.

I also wish they had a power that let them be placed next to people running away from them.

Out of curiosity, what is the 3 defense meant to accomplish?

Yeah, they eliminated most of the stupid "Rule of Zero" rules in one of their post-new-rules errata.

Depends what you mean.

If you mean, "How can I leverage a 3 defense to my advantage," I'm thinking: give Tribbles the Defend power and then watch them be useful when someone makes a Support roll.

If you mean, "How is a 3 defense better than a 0 defense which presumably would cost less," then I've got nothing. Even people with a 0 attack would only miss a 3 defense on a critical miss. I suppose, with a 3 defense, the defense could be perplexed up to a 6 defense which can be missed by some characters (people with a 0 attack).

Well, all you need is a way to give them sidestep...

Didn't even think about the defend thing, though I don't know any ways to grant defend.

As for this, sidestep seems like a long time before they reach an opponent.

However, the thought of just spawning in one giant line across the map just occurred to me, and boy is that a pleasing image...

If they weren't tiny, they could be possessed by Adara. However, the best way to grant Defend that works even on tiny characters is the Legion Flight Ring.

And don't forget that you could start with a *lot* of Tribbles. In a 300 point game, you could have a team of 60 Tribbles (but that would be a terrible team). And then your starting area would expand* and you'd be even closer to the opponent's forces.

*not sure this is still true in new rules.

In a 1000 point game, you could start with 200 Tribbles.

Don't write off that 3 defense. With tiny size and hindering, it could be a mighty 5!

I like the redshirt as a White Lantern ring for characters of a certain point cost and enhancement piece in the meantime.

That Tribbles thing is gonna drive hoarders into a frenzy.

I think both Hela's are going to enjoy Tribbles, my personal favorite is the Thor Ragnarok piece. Also Hades may have some enjoyment with them. Frog-Man may be able to pop them around for some fun. These Tribbles are gonna be fun, I can't wait.

I also like the Star Fleet security officer to protect some of your pieces, maybe better protection for your colossal retaliators.

TITLE CHARACTER ABILITIES:

(+1) LET'S NOT SPEND ETERNITY IN FUTILE, BLOODY VIOLENCE.:FREE: Until your next turn, when a friendly character is missed by an attack, after resolutions remove an action token from that character.

(-X) TRANSPORTER: FREE: Choose a character on your sideline with the Starfleet keyword and a starting line for that character. You may remove 1 Plot Point plus 1 Plot Point per 10 full points of the character's cost to place that character on the chosen stating line in an unoccupied square within 6 squares and line of fire. A force may only have one character placed by this effect on the map at a time. (Example: You would remove 5 Plot Points for a 40-49 point character.)

At the end of your turn, if the title character activated a Plot ability but didn't make an attack, deal it 1 unavoidable damage.

When Captain Kirk is KO'd, friendly characters are given two action tokens that don't cause pushing damage.

STARTING PLOT POINTS: 0

Tribbles look"fun". Fly-guy Baxter Stockman could carry 4 tribbles and place them next to opponents. Set looks amazing and I can't wait for it!

Crud, you're right. I reflexively responded and didn't even pay attention to the set numbers.

Oh well, I'm excited for this set and can't wait to further deplete my savings account on this.

If I fought someone who had 200 Tribbles on his/her team, I would forfeit immediatoy and vote them for fellowship. Anyone with enough dedication to get 200 Tribbles deserves a prize!

All Green Lanterns from here on out:

Wait, what? Really? Is this real? 5-figure boosters for star trek? This is odd to me
