I hope this finally arrives at your terminal, this is the 3rd try as about everything is screwed up at our place... We could really use a Miracle Worker here which leads right to today's card:
As far as stats are concerned, the two important stats (Integrity and Cunning) are quite high, only Strength is a little on the low side, but this is the least important attribute as long as there aren't too many away team battles.
Scotty is also a very versatile card, neither slanted too much towards space missions (Honor is much more useful on planets) not towards planet missions (Astrophysics is space-oriented). So, especially for a planet-mission deck, Scotty makes a more than fair substitute for a Geordi, even if you do play "Evaluate Terraforming", as the latter can also be solved with a Beverly Crusher alone.
With a card or two that need Miracle worker, Scotty might easily become the second or third best Federation card. He's already a top ten card without counting it! (For those who still remember the skill->points conversion, [I mentioned that when doing Vekor, I believe, so look it up there...] our Scotty has a total of 58 right now and every "Miracle Worker" require- ment on a mission would add 10 more to it [provided there aren't any more Miracle Workers out there]. For comparison: Geordi is a 70 pts card, Bev is 78 and Data is 92. On the other end, Mot is a meager 15...)
