When you play this personnel, each player may place a personnel from hand at a headquarters where they could be played. Yours must be .

I like this one (with a suitable addition)! It's a great flavor way to get Guinan, Battleship Bartender.

It's an interesting idea. But isn't it basically Common Ground with an even tighter restriction on who you can play? And what if you play a deck with 3 of each? That's placing 6 personnel (3 of which must be ,) which rather circumvents the high costs on these personnel.

All the Best,

Since the Enterprise-D crew sacrificed themselves in battle to complete their mission (sending the C back in time) my idea for an ability would've been:

When this personnel is involved in an engagement, if he/she is present with a personnel that costs 4 or more, remove him/her from the game to take the top card of your opponent's dilemma pile and place it under your incomplete non-HQ mission.

I'll stick with my original idea. Also notice that it's not dependant on you winning the engagement. It can be used when attacked or in a battle you know you're gonna lose, which adds even more story flavor.

I think that's basically the idea. It's to help counter-act the natural slowness of a strategy which under normal conditions cannot play more than one personnel each turn.

So, let's hear some nominations! Everyone gets one ability nomination, and nominations will remain open for 4 days. There is plenty of time for this step because it is easily the most complicated one, and so we can give feedback on each other's nominations. Enjoy!

Plays for free to ship when you move to a mission with span 4 or more.

To clarify, if you submit more than one nomination, I will accept the most recent nomination unless specify a different one.

Ok, disregard my nominations. I didn't expect oversight.

At the start of your turn, you may place this personnel on top of his/her owner's deck. If you do, the first card you play this turn is cost -2.

Probably a 1-cost personnel. Or would it be better if it goes to the bottom of the deck? (although I like how this mirrors Tasha's ability)

"When this personnel is facing a dilemma that's about to stop two or more of your personnel each with cost 4 or more present, you may kill this personnel to prevent that."

[Danny]

When you play this personnel, if you command a personnel who has a cost of 4 or more, you may download a Maneuver or Temporal card.

[Mogor]

If this personnel is present with more then 4 cost 1 people you lose the game

If this personnel is present with more then X cost 4 people, once per game you may relocate two of your ships to any one mission that they weren't already present at

[MattgomeryScott]

If this personnel is present with more then 4 cost 1 people you lose the game

If this personnel is present with more then X cost 4 people, once per game you may relocate two of your ships to any one mission that they weren't already present at

Might want to make that first one specific to your personnel, or I can just fly 4 1 costers over to the planet your attempting an insta-win.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

It was more sarcastic then any but fair point. The real nominated ability is the 2nd one

[Faithful Reader]

When you play this personnel, each player may download a card with a cost less than the number of cards with a cost of 4 or more they command. Yours must be [ AU ] [ FED ]

I will probably go into this more in the upcoming voting thread if it comes to that, but I'd argue that downloading really shouldn't be on a non-unique. At the same time, it would kind marginalize Battleship Picard which has an otherwise unique ability for TNG.

I think if it's thematic or niche enough, it's okay. Also, there's precedent.

I think being able to download any card trumps the targeted download that's been put forward. Interestingly, download for TNG isn't that unique (they've got 12 other personnel, including a non-unique, that do it). If anything would marginalize Battleship Picard, it'll be one of the 5 other Picards that do downloads.

I liked the idea of getting Benjamin Sisko to cover up the death of his Alternate Universe version in the series. This is my attempt to cover that nice idea.

"When you play this personnel you may exchange a personnel present with another personnel from your hand or deck. Both personnel must have the same card title but a different subtitle. Put the replaced personnel in its owner´s discard pile."

The rationale behind downloading -- not yours, just in general -- seems weak in a game where you can draw 7 new cards every turn and have 3x any card in your deck. Meanwhile, downloading 1 card takes about 1 minute of game time, as opposed to the 7 seconds it would take to draw 7 cards. I would say 90% of the cards that download would be thematically identical if they just drew cards instead.

For example, instead of downloading a temporal card, you would draw a card if you command a temporal card, have one in hand, etc.

Functionally these are almost identical but one makes the game much more fluid.

At the same time, downloading is such a bad crutch for deck building. I think the idea that 'every affiliation gets a download' is one of the failures of CC-era design. It's not special. Just an overpowered annoyance to play with and against.
