Official Rulings

Jared Hoffman asks:

I have some timing questions on the final version of the Quetsivoo. It was changed at the last minute so that your other ferengi only get the Past Icon if you have 3 past ferengi on the ship. So, assuming you start with what I'll call 3 "natuarl" past ferengi, all the ferengi on the ship gain Past. If your "natural" past ferengi get stopped during the mission attempt, do the others retain their past icon and does the ship attributes stay boosted. In summary, when do the other ferengi loose their past icons? When there are less than 3 "natural" and "gained" past ferengi on the ship unstopped?

They do not lose their icons. As long as the condition is met, Ferengi aboard the ship continue to have that icon. The ability on Quetsivoo does not discriminate between personnel who have the past icon printed on them and those who gain it otherwise.

Linkan asks:

How does the ability of •Romulan Impersonator, Geordi La Forge and Founder Trap work according to the mission attempt guide in the CRD?

Attempting missions 5b AP shows all requirements needed to complete the mission. If he or she cannot, all of the personnel involved are stopped and all “When . . . fail a mission attempt” triggers and “When . . . mission attempt fails” triggers process.

Attempting missions 5c If the AP does show all requirements, all “When . . . about to complete” triggers process, then the AP scores the points on the mission (or points in game text used to attempt and complete the mission, then “When . . . complete” triggers process.

Since the Romulan Impersonator and Founder Trap triggers in 5c, you wait until you know if your opponent can complete the mission, but technicaly there is no new place to check the altered requirements in the rules. If passed in 5b, the points are scored in 5c.

Does this mean 5b and 5c needs a slight alteration for these cards to work as intended? (Something like "If any response in this subsection alters the requirements in the mission, return to 5a." in 5c right before the score points part?)

A change will be issued in the January 2010 CRD. For now, if the mission requirements change after they have been checked for completion but before the mission has been completed, then return to the beginning of step 5b.
