@scootaloo123 You don't. You're stuck a Red Shirt until you do something notable.

@miki I played the Star Trek Attack Wing today and actually used the Red Shirt crew upgrade, and it promptly got disabled by my opponent's ship
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline You just shot a whole lot of gibberish my way because I've never played that.

@miki it's the coolest game I've played to date. The starter set comes with three ships that can play against each other, some maneuver templates to represent banks and turns, and special dice. You choose your ships, and put captains, crew and other upgrades on them. Then you duke it out with a friend on a 3'x3' play area. The set even comes with a planet and asteroids that you can set up for the game, but you have to be careful not to run into them
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Does it have Defiant-class ships?
-
@miki eh, forgot to @-reply you
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline I'll play if I can use Defiants only. And maybe a Cube.
-
@miki cube's coming out this year. If you try the game out you'll see all the ships have very interesting abilities that make them unique. For example, the Enterprise D is the only ship with a 360-degree firing arc (until the borg come out, but theirs will be different), the Defiant doesn't really take any critical damage, and the Excelsior gets a special Scan ability for free.
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Is this a video game.
-
@miki in this game you have to set maneuvers on your ship's dial, reveal them as you move, and use templates to represent the move. There's a lot of strategy involved; for example, you can't pre-measure the table so if you're not careful you may bump into an asteroid field, or even an enemy ship

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Don't do this to me, I addict to substances easily. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/710009

@miki this game is really fun though. We replayed the Mutara Nebula battle from Wrath of Khan, but thought it would be cooler to have 8 players duke it out as two teams of four. My side won and I'm happy to say I emerged unscathed
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline I liked Star Trek Legacy. You could play that. It's mediocre. And has made-up Borg ships.
-
@miki funny enough, this is the only trek game I've liked so far. There's something about attack wing that's just... awesome (might be because of the special dice. The attack dice are 8-sided with 3 sides which hit, one which is a critical hit, 2 blanks, and 2 "battlestations" symbols. The Battlestation symbols are normally misses, but if your ship went to battlestations they count as hits (the defense dice are sided similarly, with battlestations results which can be converted the same way but into evasive maneuvers). Target Locks can be spent to fire your weapon upgrades, or if used with your phasers you can spend the target lock token to re-roll your misses. very flavorful representation of the show

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Would you give it seven green babes out of ten?
-
@miki dude, the game gave /me/ seven green babes. Couldnt turn them down, either
