The Romulan Telemarketer David Kludt Seed Deck Doorways Space-Time Portal x2 Q's Tent Missions Mining Survey Investigate "Shattered Space" Explore Typhone Expanse Intercept Renegade You can choose any other two missions to fit your taste. I personally use Extraction and Covert Installation, because they can both be completed by Vakis and Sirol, respectively. Facilities Romulan Outpost with Spacedoor (try to seed it close to Empok Nor) Empok Nor with the following sites: Ops Infirmary Security Office Guest Quarters Ore Processing Unit Docking Ports Other seeds Sisko 197 Subroutine AMS with: Palteth Selok Dilemmas Use what you have room for Draw Deck Personnel Dr. Telek R'Mor Mirok Taibak Sirol T'Rul Selveth Taris Vakis Lovok Ruwon Senator Vreenak Thei Major Rakal Ships D'deridex Advanced T'Pau Scout Vessel The rest of the deck is filled with support cards. Scans and Full Planet Scans are crucial, Q's Tents in case worse comes to worse, 2 Temporal Vortex's, a few Distortion of Space/Time Continuums, and the other basics in a deck. Q's Tent Roga Danar Pi Tallus Tarus (This and the last two for Scout Encounter, if you wish to include that) Alternate Universe Door 10 and 01 Promenade Shops Science Lab A few dilemmas for use against a Q's Planet A few support personnel if you get desperate Now, to the strategy of the deck. ;-) More than likely, in your opening draw you'll have a scan (if you include enough) and/or a tent. If you suspect he seeded a Crash, tent for 10 and 01 and get them out. If not, download the Scout Vessel and commander Empok. If the case is that they seeded a dilemma at Empok, you can usually assume it's Friendly Fire (Garak Has Some Issues isn't seen as often). If he did seed something there, you probably want to aquire the Leadership and SECURITY (Roga Danar will help with this) needed to pass the Fire before commandeering. When you finally do take over Empok Nor, download the two sites from your tent and scan Mining Survey or Shattered Space. After scanning either of those missions (or both, if you see a combo you can't get past or a Dead End), start right away downloading the personnel needed to pass the missions and dilemmas. R'Mor is great in this deck (hence his spot in the deck's title), as he can complete Typhone Expanse alone and help out a lot with Investigate "Shattered Space". I originally used Klingons with Empok Nor, but found that the Romulans have a much better skill and classification selection spread between a tighter group of personnel. If you only download the absolute necessary personnel, you shouldn't have many expendable red shirts. Don't let a Borg Ship or a Sheliak get you down, Temporal Vortex them to oblivion. ;-) Ore Processing is really just a novelty in this deck, and I'll probably end up taking it out. It really shouldn't be necessary with the versatility of the Ops download. If you get stuck somewhere around 70 points, and time is running out, you can download Sirol or Vakis and move to either Covert Installation or Excavation (depending on who you downloaded) and use the majority of your personnel to get by the dilemmas, and then beam down the one man (or woman, if the situation calls for that) miracle team and pass either mission for a cool 35 points. One of the few archetypes this deck seems to have trouble against is a Borg Establish Gateway or an Armada. With the exception of the D'deridex Advanced, the ships are pretty weak. Don't venture far from your facilities! You never know when a Rogue Borg Mercenary will pop out of nowhere and put you in range of their ships. The one time this deck lost for me (out of 5 chances. Not many, but it's a new deck ;-)) was against a Borg EG deck that used a Gowron-enhanced cube to blow up my ship. I scored 90 points, and used the STP to get my ship back to hand, but it was too late to get enough people back out to complete another mission. So, if you decide to use this deck or a variant of it, you'll never think of those annoying telemarketers the same way again! ;-) David Kludt kludt@execpc.com
