Whoops. I didn't designate a spoiler for this thread.

What sounds like a better one? 46 V 5 or 46 V 6?

46 V 5 - of the two, it's more spoiler worthy (DG)

I don't know, I'd almost rather 46 V 5 get saved for the final drop

How many cards will this set have?

36 (DG)

How many were initially planned?

I think it was always planned to be 36, but more were created, then whittled away (DG)

It was planned to be twenty-seven (27), but was upped to thirty-six (36). -crp

Just wondering about Galor and Alliance Galor, was there a thought to make it the same persona with different subtitle?

There was never any intention of making them different persona - non-uniques tend not to have subtitles (DG)

Such a thing has been done before, but I think the different gametext and icons justify it being a new persona. -crp

What card are you each most personally proud of, and disappointed in? Why?

Personally proud of? - Shocking Revelation is part of a sub-theme of the set that was bandied about. I proposed it (with a different play test title), and it went through with almost zero changes, and even had the proposed lore on the final version (admittedly, there's not a lot of room to put much else) (DG)
(Chris, when you see that card, you may have flashbacks to our last event.)

I love card #8, * ******* ** *********. It gives love to a small but cool group of Klingons. In terms of disappointment, I wish there had been a better way to do what card #25 is doing. It has a lot of words but there wasn't really a way to avoid it, and it presented some title challenges. -crp

Disappointed? Nothing, really. Are there things that we'd put forward that I'd preferred we'd gone with? Sure, but nothing that really disappoints me. (DG)

I'm probably proudest of the dilemma that is being revealed tonight, though as the article that goes with it will show, it was a true collaborative effort.

Regent Worf is one of my favorite, underrated cards. I always imagined a KCA theme would revolve around his ability. Seeing as the [NA] [AU] mechanic doesn't seem too far off -- did you design any cards with the existing KCA personnel in the game in mind, or figure it was not worth restricting design space into this "box"?

The Regent's power comes from dealing with his own people (I guess, those who've displeased him?), while the KCA personnel on the station's power comes from working Terran slaves/captives to death (Odo, Efficient Overseer; Mardel, Overseer; Kira Nerys, Resourceful Prisoner). It was this we tried to replicate and expand upon (DG)

What affiliation besides the new HQ and Klingons do you guys feel gets the most help in this expansion?

I think almost every affiliation (except one) gets something, even if it's just a new mission to attempt (DG)

Would have been [TNG] except Rules couldn’t handle my brain w/r/t Insurection Riker.

I loved that one!

Me too! (DG)

What type of [Kli] deck do you guys feel will benefit the most from the cards in this set? Standard solver, Past, Battle, Treachery...?

Solvers and the Kahless cultists get a bunch excellent new toys. However, while there weren't many battle carrots that made it to the final product, the ones that are left (I think) will have possibly the biggest effect (and one's a dilemma that can help other bloodthirsty factions).
