    Just got into this game and I am enjoying it, but low-key kind of disappointed in this. Should have focused on the Next Gen era for small expansions. The DS9 or Voyager crews, the Ferengi, or the Cardassians/Dominion would have been perfect. As it is right now, the TOS crew doesn’t fit in at all with any of the existing characters. Sure you can always hand wave it as time travel/holodeck shenanigans, but TOS really deserves its own new core set. A Kirk vs Khan box with a TOS map would have been great!

      Yeah, I agree that it’s not the direction that would have got my vote. I’d like something that makes three and four player games viable without having to purchase a second Battle of Wolf 359 core set. I tried a three player game with my buddies using only the Borg cube map, and while it worked okay, it was certainly a bit claustrophobic. Plus, I need more health pegs.

      The idea of TOS theme core set sounds great, but I’m going to guess that ship has sailed. Maybe we’ll get the SNW crew vs. some Gorns.

        Even if they just gave us some new map tiles, a flip-able Romulan/Klingon Warbird set, it would go a long way. Make it so you can have two separate ships that your characters can transport between. Having to buy two identical core sets for 3-4 player games is unacceptable. Since we didn’t get one for TOS, a DS9 Core Set with Sisko vs Dukat or Weyoun that introduces the Cardassions/Dominion as a playable faction would be great!

          100%. I find the sameness of the Borg board a bit difficult to look at, so I’d really like some other set, and I agree incorporating a way to transport between two ships would be optimal.
