Borg Octahedron: Named QVP ability

Postby rcpenn » Wed Mar 14, 2018 10:01 am

The card text on the named ship in the Octahedron card pack reads: "End phase: Add 1 drone token to the captain equipped to this ship."

Does this ability allow a Borg captain assigned to the named Queen Vessel Prime to gain Borg drone tokens exceeding their starting number of drone tokens, and thereby a possible boost in captain skill?

Can you confirm from this that Queen 9 can get 10 drone tokens and become captain skill 10?

Thank you

Does the QVP’s named ability allow a non-Borg captain to gain drone tokens?

Yes. Please see the Component Limitation section on page 27 of the rulebook:

"Objective Tokens, all cards, plastic ships, bases, and pegs are
limited by the quantities included in this game box.

If players run out of any other tokens, they may use a
suitable replacement (such as a coin or bead) as a substitute."

Yes, and, per the Borg Alliance ruling, Drone Tokens on a Captain with a printed Captain Skill do not affect that Captain's Captain Skill. They are only present to pay for effects.

Does the rule of 3 apply to the drones added by the ships power? Meaning 3 turns have passed and I've accumulated +3 drone tokens from the start of the game. Can I gain a 4th drone token the next turn?

Drone Tokens are not subject to the Rule of 3 and can be increased beyond the starting value.
