Wizkids Rules!

The fleet captain resource states that if you assign the independent fleet captain resource to a captain you do not pay a fleet penalty appoint when assigning the captain to your ship. Does this mean you can assign a captain to any ship with fleet captain resource without paying a penalty point?

When you assign the Fleet Captain to your captain it makes your captain dual faction, both their original faction and Independent. If you place the captain on a ship that is neither it's faction or Independent then you still pay the 1 SP faction penalty.

1. Since an Independent Fleet Captain makes a non-Independent captain dual faction, does any part of Skill 9 James T. Kirk's text apply to Independent talents?
"Any Federation [TALENT] Upgrades you purchase for Kirk cost exactly 3 Squadron Points and are placed face down beside his card. Each Talent remains face down until you decide to use it..."

A. Does the Talent cost still only apply to Federation Talents?
B. Can Independent Talents be placed face down until used?


2. For the Independent Fleet Captain:
"After you move, you may target 1 friendly ship within Range 1-2 (or your own ship). The target ship immediately performs an additional white "1" Maneuver (forward, bank or turn).

Can this give the target ship the maneuver (forward, bank, or turn) even if it doesn't have that maneuver on its maneuver dial?
e.g. Can it give the Enterprise-D a Turn 1 white maneuver, or Voyager a Forward 1 white maneuver?

1. No,the Fleet Captain does not make any changes to card text. James T. Kirk's text states "Any Federation [Talent]...". The Fleet Captain does not change this restriction, only that Kirk could be deployed to an Independent ship without paying the +1 Faction Penalty.

2. Yes

If Kirk 9 is made a fleet captain, does that mean he may take 3 face down Federation Elite talents that all cost 3 SP?
