I really like this, although I admit I only have 1 test game in with it.

https://www.trekcc.org/decklists/index. ... ckID=38198

- Even 1 copy of Audacious Assault greases the wheels nicely as there are a lot of different species.
- I had no problem getting commodities into my opponent's core.
- Attributes get really good with 2+ commodities in opponent's core
- Missions skills are easy to come by and attributes very achievable; integrity is the weakness but ... meh
- Hanok is excellent for dodging "stop an X" dilemmas.
- Karemma freighter has great text and can be downloaded and played on turn one with Excelsior rules
- Can get away with some more expensive personnel thanks to Audacious Assault, weenie hate should be less of a problem (admittedly there is less of it in Act 2)

I'm sure there are many more optimisations I can make:

- I left some powerful dominion staples out in exchange for people with acquisition and the right skills for the missions but maybe some of that random selection dodging would make it even better. An earlier version used Crom but forcing strength makes me add a lot of personnel that don't do much.

- I also didn't optimise the dilemma pile at all apart from spotting the one that calls out commodities. Maybe there are some dilemmas in there that trigger off my choice of personnel / commmidities?

I definitely think this is above curve against the Act I decks that I played with, remains to be seen what else is out there in Act 2.

Formal Hearing keys off events in your core, not your opponent's.

Maybe splash one as a meta call AGAINST Dominion Commodities? :wink:
