Should "timeline locations" just be "time locations"?

This wording is also used under the entry for "location"
It is actually in the glossary 6 times. I have no idea why. Updated in the master glossary.

"Cards that kill personnel
or damage and destroy ships do not
constitute a battle unless they specify that
they include a battle or attack involving your
opponent’s personnel or ships, or Rogue
Borg or the Borg Ship dilemma"

"or the Borg Ship Dilemma" probably should be "or a [self] card"

Probably most places where it says BSD should be [self] card.

Perhaps this is too nitpicky.

The "capturing-related card" entry in the glossary has some formatting problems on the last bullet point which make it even more difficult to understand than it already is.

Also the entry ends with the enigmatic phrase "Capture-related cards may still use captives."

The weirdest part of the capturing-related rule is that it exists to support literally two cards, one of which nobody uses and the other of which I'm pretty sure gets used mainly for its first function.

I think they should just axe it and replace it with "cards that say 'capture' or 'captive' in title, lore, or gametext are capturing-related." Sure, you get a couple weird ones, but it's not going to bother the legions of Prepare The Prisoner fans!

I was looking at the rulebook for something and noticed this;

However, a few cards, like Kurlan Naiskos, specify that a requirement can be fulfilled only by a member of the correct "classification". For those cards, only a card's classification counts. Overseer Odo can use a Medical Kit, because of his OFFICER classification, but cannot report to Security Office or activate Body Armor, because both these cards require SECURITY as a classifcation, not a skill.

But look at Kurlan Naiskos again. It does not say 7 classifications, it says 7 personnel types. This card is not an accurate representation of 'can only be fulfilled by a member of the correct "classification" as someone with two or more types like Tom Paris can use all three of his to meet the Naiskos. Unless there was some eratta that I'm missing and is not shown as an edited image.

You are correct; the Rulebook is in error. I will amend it.

Noticed just now: in the expansion set icons list, the
list wrote:First Contact: 130 cards about the new movie Star Trek: First Contact. Introduced and many major rules changes, ending what is called the "PAQ" (Premiere/AU/Q-Continuum) period of the game
thus omitting the year in which the set was produced (1997). Could be intentional, is not a problem, might be fixed. :thumbsup:

Also, the "�"-issue mentioned above has not yet been addressed. That is slightly less probable to be intentional.

Is the [Sch] icon in there? It seems to be unloaded going by the glossary, but the glossary entry also seems to be speaking in euphemisms. Exactly like it's scheming. Thought I'd try cross-referencing with the rule book, though I didn't see it.

Huh. I distinctly recall adding it, and yet, it isn't there! Must be a false memory. Always eerie.

Anyway, yes, the [Sch] icon is unloaded.

I decided to try reading the Glossary cover to cover for once (Where No One Has Gone Before, indeed). I already caught one minor issue, figured I'd add on to them here as I encounter them.

[SD] actions - group Red Alert! should be linked in the example.
[SD] actions - step 1: initiation I Hate You isn't linked.
[SD]actions - step 2: responses Smoke Bomb and Establish Tractor Lock. The latter also has a typo.What Does God Need With A Starship? is incorrectly linked (to "God")
(I'm guessing a lot of these are because the algorithm that linked the cards got confused by punctuation)
[SD] actions - required Cytherians and Incoming Message aren't linked (theater probably because it's written "Incoming Messages"). Cytherians is linked in the same entry to a Glossary entry, which is making me think that links will be missing a lot when a glossary entry and a card name conflict, usually for single-card entries.
[SD] Add Distinctiveness Not really a nitpick, but maybe it would be helpful to define what exactly counts as an FC booster? i.e., factory sealed, not EFC, etc...
