Wizkids Rules!

Can you use Triphasic Emitters to...

-Avoid ship requirements (Example Hypothermic Charge, a non-borg weapon upgrade that costs less than or =5, normally only purchasable for the vidiian ship)
-Avoid penalty requirements (Example Phased Polaron Beam, a non-borg weapon upgrade that costs less than or =5, costs +5 for any non-Jem'hadar ship)
-Avoid Target Locking Requirements (Example almost any Torpedo, Requires a target lock normally to attack, perhaps it would not require the target lock portion)
-Avoid a faction penalty (What if a federation torpedo placed under this romulan upgrade, on a romulan ship)

The card states "At the start of the game after setup choose a non-borg weapon upgrade and place it face down beneath this card. The chosen upgrade must have a cost of 5 SP less."

Does this mean I can take a weapon upgrade from one of my opponents as long as it is 5 SP or lower, or do I select a different upgrade which I own.

No, the card placed under Triphasic Emitters must still meet ship requirements, pay any penalties in the card text and faction penalty, and must meet the requirements to fire the weapon card placed under it including the requirement to spend a target lock.

Before the game you would choose a weapon to be placed under the triphasic emitters from your own collection. This card must be indicated on your Fleet Build Sheet in a tournament.

This weapon allows you to surprise your opponent with a tactic or attack not steal cards from your opponent.

Does this mean the name of the card must be written in full on the Build Sheet? And does this apply to other cards like James T. Kirk, Shinzon, Quark and Tahna Los?

The card must be identified on your build sheet. Your TO will need to make sure your build is legal and decide how you should identify the card on your build sheet.

At an official Wizkids event that line on your fleet build sheet should be initialed by the TO before the game begins.

Yes, this applies to all cards that are face down during gameplay.
