First Resistance is futile event op1 was held this past sunday and we had the option of either 120 points, or 90/30 and use the blind. I decided on the 90 point blind and although my build went well, and was the only non borg build at the event, and the blind pull was what brought it over the top.
I got the Kazon blind pull. for those that don't know the Kazon blind is a predator class ship, 4 primary attack, 1 agility, 5 hull, 3 shields with a decent maneuver dial. it's got a 180 degree arc and a 90 degree secondary arc, but it's ability is what puts it over the top. When you perform a green maneuver, add +1 attack dice this round.. So, a ship, with 4 primary attack goes up to 5 when I decide to go slow and has a rear arc? YES PLEASE!
What makes it even better is that the upgrades in it, aren't completely terrible! It's weapon slots are usable with the photonic charges being 4 dice at range 1 and places an aux token on you if something hit, and the other weapon being a 4 dice that can be fired out of any arc (perfect for the coming about) is just amazing.
For the next 120 point tournament. I think I will be trying that ship out in a real constructed format.
I also am deciding to go with a more multi ship build with little upgrades people can steal.. because shenanigans from the borg are quite annoying.
I give you.. Kazon and Friends!
List Name
Resource: Flagship Independent (Klingon) (10)
Relora-Sankur (26)
Gul Dukat (6)
Boheeka (3)
Ship SP: 35
Koranak (26)
Mr. Spock (5)
Breen Aide (2)
Ship SP: 33
USS Enterprise-E (32)
Jean-Luc Picard (6)
Flagship (0)
Counter Attack (4)
Ship SP: 42
Total Build SP: 120
The idea is simple, Every ship has at least 5 attack dice, every ship can Scan and Battle sations, and two of the three ships can convert one blank to a hit. the defense lies in multiple targets. Borg missiles seem to wreck almost anything that it touches when it comes to single ship builds (because having something like that that gives aux tokens with no drawback is stupid), and even tho the hull and shield values are low on everything except the fed ship, it's weight of fire. Take the one hit, hope I live, then Unload on them with 6 dice from the E, 6 dice from the Koranak(thanks to the klingon flagship) and 6 dice from the Relora (again, thanks to the flagship and a green maneuver) and, if they target the E with anything, another 6 dice thanks to counter attack! so, maximum output of 24 damage in one turn!
It's also multi faction so Ahab picard will have to choose which one he wants to go after (hoping my opponent chooses fed so he can get counter attacked a lot) and I don't care if boheeka or the breen aid get assimilated.
So, Bring on the Kazon and friends!

After thinking about it and realizing that 3 actions on an E were too many, I switched the flagship to the koranak to activate the breen aid, and added in amat for 3 defense dice and breen aid protection, and added in a re-roll mechanic to the E so that every ship has some ability to manipulate dice.
