Hi guys,

quick question ...
Vintaak Drydock Station says that I can commandeer Starship Defiant.
After that, I can fly away.

Now I flip the card.

The text says how I can commandeer Starship Defiant.

I don't get why? After I have commandeered the ship and flew away, what function does the text at the time location still has?
I can't imagine anyone flying back, leaving the ship unattended, so that the opponent can commandeer it.


Or wait ...
Am I assuming correctly that Starship Defiant can be downloaded every second turn? (Because it is flipped every second turn)

Maybe you can't commandeer the ship on your first turn? Then the requirements alternate.

Or you prevent the commandeered ship from moving on turn 1 and commandeer it on turn 2 with opponent's crew aboard?

I don't think Vintaak Drydock Station seeds again on end of turn 2.

Kavok's [DL] doesn't like uncontrolled ships.

One side is in the [MQ] Quadrant, the other in the Alpha Quadrant.
For example, if your Deck is mainly in AQ you will command it in every 2nd turn.

So I have to seed BOTH missions to this time location? The Alpha and the Mirror mission?

Nope, just the Mirror mission since that's the side of the time location that seeds.
