Wizkids Rules!

Special rules
In this event, players’ fleets are considered to be either
the BORG FLEET or the REBEL FLEET.
For purposes of Set Up, every card is considered either a
Borg Card or a Non-Borg Card.
BORG CARDS
Every card that is of the Borg Faction (i.e. has the Borg
Faction Symbol on its card) is considered a BORG
CARD.
All ships in both fleets that are of the Borg Faction are
considered to be BORG SHIPS.
NON-BORG CARDS
Every card that is not of the Borg Faction (i.e. does not
have the Borg Faction Symbol on its card) is considered
a NON-BORG CARD.
All ships in both fleets that are not of the Borg Faction
are considered to be NON-BORG SHIPS.

Borg Fleet: Every BORG CARD that is assigned to the Borg
Fleet costs -1 SP (Min 0).

Rebel Fleet: Every NON-BORG CARD that is assigned to the
Rebel Fleet costs -1 SP (Min 0). Faction penalties
still apply.


Do ship cards count as cards or only as ships? are they effected by the -1 sp rule?

No, ship cards do not count as cards in this case. Ships would not get the -1 SP reduction.

Please please refer to the Month 2 OP clarification for details.

"All Borg cards (Captains & Upgrades) cost -1 squadron point."
"All non-Borg faction cards (Captains & Upgrades) are -1 squadron point."

do admirals count as captain cards?
do admirals recieve the -1 sp benefit?
how about when they are deployed to a ship as a captain?

No Admirals do not count as Captains. But, they do get the -1 Fleet Point reduction

Ship cards and Resources do not receive the -1 reduction.

When a Admiral is deployed to a ship as a Captain it is a captain.

If I have cards on the sideboard resource, do they receive the -1 reduction as well since those cards are assigned to my fleet?

Yes, the cards on your Sideboard Resource do receive the -1 reduction because they are assigned to your fleet.

For the Borg fleet:

All Borg cards (Captains & Upgrades) cost -1 squadron point.
Non-Borg faction ships gain the Regeneration Action.
Non-Borg faction ships do not pay the faction penalty when assigned Borg faction cards.
Non-Borg faction ships may exchange 1 of its upgrade slots for a Borg Upgrade slot.
Borg faction ships gain an additional 1 Borg Upgrade slot.

Can a Non-Borg faction ship use Borg Upgrades that state "This Upgrade may only be purchased for a Borg Ship"?

example:

Can USS Voyager be used in a Borg fleet equipped with Borg Missiles?

All ships in the Borg fleet are considered Borg and could use Borg specific weapons.

Does this mean that if the Rebel fleet is equipped with Elizabeth Shelby...

If you are defending against an attack from a Borg ship, you roll +1 defense die during the Roll Defense Dice step and you may re-roll all of your blank results during the Modify Defense Dice step.

that she will work against every ship in the opposing fleet?

Yes.
