Question: When I download an ❖ outpost, does it have to match the mission affiliation?
Yes. That rule still exists and the card doesn't let you ignore it.

"Once each turn a matching personnel reporting here may do so for free." Instead of seeding an outpost (1 seed card), you get an outpost with free report. But after second thought, under some circumstances it might be problematic to get the spaceline right, so this is a risky strategy.

Yeah but you're also losing the HafH free report AND having to seed an AU-enabler, so in the case of [NA] I'd question whether the juice was worth the squeeze.

This. A big chunk of [Fed]/[NA] [Stf] Voyager mains can play into this, and combine either with War Council to open up more [1E-DQ] [NA] free plays or any of the [1E-DQ] affiliations ( [Kaz] , [Vid] , [Hir] ) for a nice quasi-treaty situation.

Very rarely has that not been at least "good"
