It's Wednesday! We're more than halfway through Since we are over the hump, let's look at a question!



This week, it's time to get person(ne)al!

Which personnel is most in need of errata and why? Do they need a small but important tweak? Does their ability need to be reigned in? Does it need more teeth to be workable? Are they in need of nothing less than a complete overhaul?

Let us know but not more than one card.

The problem isn't one personnel. Most of the egregious single personnel (e.g., OT Kirk, Kruge, Donatra, 2-cost Quark) have been dealt with.

The biggest issues now are piles of pretty good personnel that combine with verbs, ships, and missions to form Voltron. Nerfing single personnel doesn't solve that problem.

Examples:
Suicide Bomb Remans/Romulan Discard
Briar Patch NeuDominion
Relativity (at least pre-Temporal Transporters Errata)
Borg Assimilator (at least when done right)
JaegerBomb
LEGO Starfleet
Mega- counter Ferengi

Maybe that should be next week's FumQ or whatever these things are called....

I don't get it - what's wrong with DC (in either printing)?

Dorian Collins' 1E card is part of the Metamorphosis set which was (mainly) a last bunch of 2EBC cards to be converted before 2EBC cards became illegal in 1E OTF (and at least some Open tournaments). She's a conversion of Dorian Collins, Acting Chief Petty Officer from Necessary Evil.

As part of the conversion, her INTEGRITY dropped from 6 on the original 2E card to 3 on the new 1E card. It's been a source of controversy ever since but the current Powers That Be On Such Things are firmly on the side of the INTEGRITY loss being warranted, so it's one of those arguments where the horse has long since been beaten into glue.

Locutus, Voice of the Borg should never have this name. It should be Jean Juc Picad , Voice of the Borg or Jean Juc Picad, Locutus

Every Mirror personnel with a counterpart in the main universe should bear the name "Mirror" in the first place (Mirror Spock, Mirror Kira Nerys, Mirror Leeta aso)
With the current Name-sheme Something like in Eye to eye is almost impossible to have in 2E

Thanks for that.

Ooh, that's just sad and embarrassing

This is something I agree with. Regretful Leader did it wrong, Elder T'Pol got it right.

For AU, this could be cleared up with a line added to the rulebook, or a specific card that "shatters" the mirror.

Sorry for any confusion my very bad joke may have caused. Thanks to @Boffo97 for clearing that up for all the non-1E folks here.
