Like that we are getting Kyle but shouldn't he be captured instead of NA. He didn't get turned like Chekhov just stranded. He is still a Federation member even he is left to die.

Commander Kyle takes away the option to use The Genesis Device on your opponent after you've scored some points with it from Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold.Touche' Good catch!
playing an affiliation
You are "playing [affilation or faction]" or are an "[affiliation or faction name] player" if you control or have controlled at least one card belonging to that affiliation or faction (or any Borg Use Only card, if Borg), or used a multi-affiliation card you have controlled in that affiliation mode at any time during the game, regardless of whether any such cards are still in play. Only cards which you own are considered when determining if you are playing an affiliation or faction. See faction.

when a card "becomes" a characteristic (such as a new gender, species, or affiliation), it gains the new characteristic and simultaneously loses any other characteristics of the same kind. For example, if Mardah is affected by Frame of Mind, she gains but loses and . If affected by Q-Type Android, she ceases to be Bajoran species and becomes Q-type android or human species.(Become, Glossary)
Some personnel have limitations listed just above their skills in an area called a "restriction box." These are not skills and are not affected by cards that affect skills.(Restriction Box, ibid).

If you want to use Genesis to double mission points, you have to sacrifice the 30 points at the start of next turn for the chance of a doubled mission later that next turn. If you’ve concentrated on acquiring Genesis and so already completed a planet mission, you’ll want space to avoid issues with Intermix Ratio/The Big Picture… and of course Genesis doesn’t really help with increasing points from space missions.That's true, but you could well solve two planet missions (first for Genesis, second doubled from Genesis) to get you to 80 mission points, plus two turns from Revenge (unless your opponent has Kirk, obviously) for 60 points. It's a situation that could well arise so a ruling would be useful.

Fortunately, nob made the same point I was going to make:Fair or unfair we live in a world where many of not all of us play other games. Become effects in most other games are permanent. Given that the become entry doesn't say that they end, and doesn't even imply it - I question whether or not yours and rules interpretation is fully thought out in this matter.
If Khan is already in play when you report Commander Kyle (and I assume that he will be!), then Commander Kyle is when you gain control of him, and so you are still not "playing ." Commander Kyle's restriction box is not a "selected or shared feature" like Soong-Type Android's classification. It is more like the effect of a Treaty card or Does Not Work With clause, and is effective when you declare the report. So just seed/play Khan first, and Kyle should be fine.
You should not read anything into the absence of the "even if not in play" text. That text snuck into the game partially by mistake, it was never essential, and, to avoid misleading people, we have stopped using it. (It is Rules' hope that Assignment: Earth will be the last card to use that phrase.)
If Khan leaves play at any point (or becomes in play "for uniqueness only", or you lose control of him while retaining control of Commander Kyle, or otherwise stops being able to maintain Kyle in mode), Commander Kyle switches back to mode. This is consistent with how other "becomes" cards work. However, this is the second time in three months that I've come across players who read the "become" glossary entry and think that "become" effects are permanent even if the underlying card is nullified, so I think probably the "become" glossary entry needs a minor clarification. *adds to the list*
That all sound good? Clear as mud?

Other games are handy for looking around, but different games are just that - different games.
