How many cards in this set have a property logo that is not the DS9 logo?

Zero, although there is one card that could have been argued warranted a movie logo...

[Iron Prime]

How many iterations for the FB spoiler?

Hard to say! Originally it was part of another card, but was offloaded to streamline the text of what we were trying to do. Ultimately the first iteration of “Treaty: Alpha Quadrant Alliance” as a solo card was very close to what became the final version.

[sexecutioner]

Which card will most definitely appear in a Niall deck?
23V will definitely feature in a Niall deck. Or anyone else who likes starting fights where you can’t normally do so!
But I do expect you to take a sadistic joy in using 16V to score points!

Which card went though the most extreme revisions?
10V. It was still being revised this week, including changes to gametext, title, card type, and Art! The core concept wasn’t being changed from testing but boy there were some arguments over this one!

I notice that there are two cards numbered 31* V with different colored affiliations. Although they have different filenames, was another way of assigning different card numbers ever looked into, envisioned?

Zoom in! Bajoran Odo is 31*V. Federation Odo is31+V

[eberlems]

Is Odo "Posed as" Founder Leader Female?

Intention is that he is male ("He" in lore), but I'll defer to Rules on how infiltrator status effects gender!

[Iron Prime]

Though it has it's own restrictions were there any concerns or headaches around Combined Task Force stacking with the new toys?
No, but if you wait until Monday you'll find out why!

[Hoss-Drone]

Build off:

Is there anything in this set that will make Combined task force more playable? Was even trying to make it playable an effort that was even made? Why or why not?
So our focus was the end of the war, and Combined Task Force is the beginning of the war. There are cards which can also be used in CTF decks, but that wasn't our primary aim. More DS9 cards will be coming in future to help CTF though. We did add a broken link (sorry) which could potentially stack with CTF...

What is your name?! (favorite card title?)
11V Makes me think of Life of Brian, and 16V is also fun! But 53V is based on an obscure alternative name from TNG that helped solve a naming conundrum!
There are just so many of them! But If I had to choose just one I think I like 4V the most.
What is your quest?! (favorite mission?)
19V, just for the orbiting ships...
20V just because it was lost for a while and then came back.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?! (favorite ship?)
51V I'd need Johnny to confirm, but pretty certain that comes from the What We Left Behind HD Remaster...
My favourite didn't make it unfortunately =( But if I have to choose one of the ones that did, I'd go with V50 because of the shape.

Then the database page for Federation Odo needs to be corrected as it lists the number as 31*V not 31+V

[BanditKeith]

Any generally useful cards that will go into a lot of decks, regardless of affiliation? [e.g. like how we got Primary Turbolift in The Neutral Zone]
Outside of the dilemmas, 8V is pretty versatile and could be used in many different affiliated decks!
And maybe V41?

And on a related note, any cool personnel or ships to watch for?
Yes, I think so!

Oh you evil tease!

I wont' speak for Mr Hoss, but I can accept this answer. I'm happy to know that more CTF love is in the pipe...

Any hints/teases about that broken link?
4578+128

[Mr.Sloan]

1. I love the cards so far.
Cheers!
2. Question: Will the dominion still be able to beam through anyone shields unlimitedly often?
There will be drawbacks to doing so!
3. Will there be points for killing jemmis (or Federation Alliance ships)?
Not specifically, although the set as a whole encourages more interaction and battle, which should result in Jemmies dying as a consequence!

[BCSWowbagger]

Is Odo "Posed as" Founder Leader Female?

Intention is that he is male ("He" in lore), but I'll defer to Rules on how infiltrator status effects gender!

No, he is always male.

A card's characteristics can be determined only from information on that card, and Odo (The Dogs of War) mentions posing as Founder Leader, but not the fact that Founder Leader is female.

(The reason for this is the same reason you can't infer that Benjamin Sisko (Chain of Command) is a cook just because Benjamin Sisko (Emissary) is. We can't expect every player to independently know the gender of Founder Leader when Founder Leader may not even be in either player's deck.)

Wibbly-wobbly, glibbity-fluidity.

Enjoy the Q&A!

[Ensign Q]

whats the lore behind Some Day I'll Retire Here being a dilemma requesting integrity?

also
did odo not progress his virus by changing forms?
Yes, but he still did to help out.
