Card Extra Feedback Surge from Michel M. Albert (08/17/2001) |

The Borg expansion's Referee icon card comes at a perfect time in the game's history. First, there's the revitalization of the Borg as an affiliation, which gives the Collective incentives to Establish Gateway. Not only does Resistance Is Futile still make the objective more lucrative, but now Nine of Twelve makes probing for it easier than ever. Okay, let them complete their objective at your mission if it's so easy. What they don't know is that your Hidden Agenda is Feedback Surge, and that those points are now yours. You can still sweep in and solve your mission, now dilemma-less, for its actual points. A better counter than Access Denied in my book! Second, players have been screaming for an Ajur'n'Boratus counter, the duo being responsible for the shuffling of many a dilemma combo. Your opponent might now think twice before trying to eliminate multiple dilemmas from a mission. As long as you seed at least 4 dilemmas under planet missions, the Vorgons will cost your opponent at least 10 points when they do their thing. And as better and better dilemmas come out, the temptation to use either Ajur and Boratus or Senior Staff Meeting to get rid of them definitely increases. What's worse? Losing lots of personnel to Ankari "Spirits" or Replicator Accident? Or taking a 10 point penalty for removing the dilemma? Of course, it doesn't disappear into thin air - you get to re-seed the killer card(s), even under the same mission! At the same time, we get a new and very powerful counter to Q-bypass strategies. Definitely worth a surge of positive feedback ;-). Combos:
