Point cost updates on old ships?

Hello,

with all the new cheaper stuff coming up my question is what happens to the costs of the old ships?

Will there be an errata to adjust their points or will WK just make them obsolete?

First and foremost, absolutely nothing is obsolete with the advent of the new rulebook and products. All cards are still usable.

That being said, we will being altering the point cost of ALL generic ships to match their new point costs. For example, the original generic Galaxy Class costs 26 points and the one in the new starter costs only 22 point. For all purposes, the original 26 point Galaxy Class now costs 22 points.

However, all unique ships' point values will remain the same. This means that the original U.S.S. Enterprise-D will still stay 28 points even though the new U.S.S. Enterprise-D is only 26 points.

We've received many follow up questions regarding faction, ship stats, exact ship class, and more. Ships must be of the same class and have the same stats for the new point cost to carry over. The only exception to this rule currently is the Klingon Bird-of-Prey and B'Rel Class which are analogous for the purposes of this rule. Ship faction and upgrade slots do not have any effect when determining if an older generic ship should have the new point value. Below you will find a full table of all generic ship classes that have been released and/or previewed with their new point costs for your reference.

Borg Cube - 50
Borg Octahedron - 38
Cardassian ATR-4107 - 24
D'deridex Class - 25
D'Kora Class - 16
Ferengi Shuttle - 8
Galaxy Class - 22
Gorn Raider - 14
Jem'Hadar Attack Ship - 13
Jem'Hadar Battle Cruiser - 29
Jem'Hadar Battleship - 29
Klingon Bird-of-Prey/B'Rel Class - 13
K'vort Class - 20
Nebula Class - 19
Oberth Class - 12
Raptor Class - 11
Romulan Drone Ship - 16
Romulan Science Vessel - 6
Romulan Scout Vessel - 9
Valdore Class - 24
Vor'cha Class - 22

Does this effect the oversized Borg Cube generic as well? It also has a generic with a newer, revised point cost (50. Was previously 80).

Yes, the list is updated to reflect this.
