Oh. Okay, if I choose first, I will accept Romulan. ---

I have a soft spot for the Klingons. ---

In my games, I’ll only include Vulcan if we have 7 players. Otherwise, they are not an option to pick. Our game yesterday (at convention) once again confirmed that. Is that something here we could all agree to? (Roger tends to let his players decide. So it is our call). If you have played with the Vulcan faction in a game you’d understand. They tend to unbalance the game a tiny bit. ---

I was going to plump for Vulcans. Because Having one ascendancy and a warp token from the start is huge. What do we think? ---

My problem with the Vulcans is that the difficulty of their objectives is hugely variable. That said, I don’t mind having them in the game. ---

But it is hidden and if I’m not mistaken, they start with 3 Ascendency? ---

They do. Having even 1 is what I meant. 2 objectives. 1 public and 1 private. ---

Shall we decide? Do you want Vulcans in this game? _Poll ([view on site](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-6/3932/423))_ ---

I really don’t see a problem with having the Vulcans as long as other players are aware of what their objectives can be. ---

It’s really player experience. New players who have never had them in a game would not care. But if all players have seen them in action, then they would have a better understanding. So, it is just a choice. [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-6/3932.md?page=2)
