Welcome to today's First Edition Friday Question, where you get a chance to answer questions that will help shape the future of First Edition. If you'd like to catch up on previous entries, here's a list of all of my previous Friday Questions:
Happy Friday! There's been some news out of San Diego Comic Con @ Home about new Star Trek shows, which is always fun to read. I know the newer Trek shows are controversial, but I'm just glad there are people talking about Trek and making it, even if it's different from Trek of old. I'm not personally excited about Lower Decks, but I'm glad that people are excited about it!
Speaking of controversial things in Star Trek, today's question is all about the Xindi. These mutli-species baddies were the main antagonists of Enterprise's third season, and they've often been talked about as a potential new affiliation for First Edition. Do you want to see the Xindi introduced into 1E? If so, do you want them to be their own affiliation? Or should they just be characters?
To be clear, we are years away from this happening. Planning, designing, and testing the affiliation took almost three years from start to finish, and no such work has been done for a possible Xindi affiliation. That means if we started today, it would be 2022 or 2023 before they made it to the game - so don't hold your breath. But I'm very curious to find out what you guys think about the idea of seeing the Xindi in 1E, in whatever form that might be.
Have a great weekend! And don't forget to check out the new Promo-a-Week project, where a new promo card gets released every Friday (save for during expansion releases). Today's is Medical Tricorder, and it looks pretty great!
