Sure, if you're reprinting or touching the card otherwise.

Also a fair point, but that can be done even without G&G being a Romantic Pair. I am just saying the advantage of spreading the Romantic Pair option to other affiliations is more balancing IMHO than the risks of giving [Fed] a 4th dual personnel option.
Counterpoint: there's better ways to do that than errataing G&G.

For G&G you'd still need to seed Earth, and if you aren't [Fed] or [Bor], then it ain't easy to attempt. [1E-Rom] have it easiest, with [Kli] and [Vul] right behind due to Research Devastating Attack, but everyone else needs an espionage card, and some affiliations can't even do that!

If the goal is more non- [Fed] access to the Love Cafe, then make new cards to do that.

Example:
[NA] ❖ Native Risan
CIVILIAN
Lore lore lore typical Risan FEMALE lore lore
[SD] skill [SD] skill
[SD] May serve as a Romantic Partner to one personnel present
INT CUN STR
Probably some work that would need done to tweak and balance it, but that's the thumbnail sketch idea.

Basically, if you want to give non- [Fed] more options, don't use inherently [Fed] friendly cards to do it.

I like it! Can we print this as is? :) (names Lore in lore? :P )
If Data was fully functional, no reason to suspect that Lore is not also.

if you wanna be honest here, its not that easy for fed to have all 3, as dh gets either worf or riker. so with the whales theyre now at a stable 3 vs other 1.
either way its +2 cards
