You know what the worst part about being in jail for 37 days was? No, not the food. No, not taking a punch from a young Spanish kid trying to be tough in a crowded elevator. It was CSI:Miami. 2 hours of that crap show ever single day. I can handle of lot of things, but subjecting me to that was cruel and unusual punishment. In honor of torture.....
Good Card: Cardassian Processing
Why: Out of all the 'HQ specific' dilemmas this is the only good one. I play the borg one sometimes, but only in a Tragic Turn pile when it's usually the last card. My main beef with the 'HQ dilemmas' is that they're too easy, and when your opponent doesn't have the requirements they usually can't solve the mission anyway. So what good is another random stop? The Cardassian one has easily trackable skills. Law on one side, Honor/Transporters on the other. There are not too many cheap dilemma that can net you an extra captive (which can be really helpful), most cost 4 or more. For a bonus, it's a great anti-Borg card, since the Borg aren't too keen on Law and Honor. The fed dilemma cost too much and way too easy. Bajoran one too easy and not enough reward to use it. The Klingon one has a nice reward, but too easy. The Romulan one has tough skills (Telepathy & Intel), but the reward falls short. And the Maquis, Ds9, and Voyager ones are just big piles of monkey crap.
Bad Card: Bat'leth
Why: It falls into the "Man, I'm tired of seeing this card" category. I've used the actual text on Bet'leth once, and the card was in the 1st 2E expansion! I've said before, I absolutley despise 0-cost equipment, so you can imagine how I feel about Trellium-D (I actually think I hate it more). I know 2E wasn't going to be as rigid as 1E as for 'trek sense', but arms dealers paying for Bat'leths at Kressari Rendezvous for the past 8 years has been retarded. If I could hop in the Trek Time Machine I would go back and add, "To play this equipment you must command Qo'nos,", or "You must command a Klingon" at least.

I agree with Bat'leth being a bad card. I don't really get why it cost 0, especially because its gametext is probably better than most of the handweapons. When was the last time someone needed a strength boost in combat.
