Wesley's STCCG card of the day #26

Hi, folks,

today's card is probably the one everybody expected me to do first, but I guess, with this net.alias I am just supposed to do it :-)

WESLEY CRUSHER

Federation Personnel, rare.
Integrity:6
Cunning: 8
Strength: 5
OFFICER, Youth, ENGINEER, Computer Skill, Astrophysics, Navigation.
"Ensign Wesley Crusher was a child prodigy. Protege of the Traveler. Son of Dr. Beverly Crusher. Saved the U.S.S. Enterprise 3 1/2 times as a teenager."

In our playing group this card was quickly nicknamed "Poor man's Data".
This name makes sense insofar as the skills are quite similar (They have OFFICER, ENGINEER, Computer Skill and Astrophysics in common).
However, the small difference in Skills seems to make Data a little more suited for planet missions whereas Wesley with his navigation skill seems somewhat slated to space missions.

So probably every deck with a need for Data can also benefit from including Wesley. Especially when you plan on going around with more than one ship this card will greatly benefit your secondary crew.

Even when you just use one ship you still have two chances to get out a badly needed card without duplicating a personnel.

I include this card in all my federation decks.

Favorite combo(s):

Use Wesley with Picard as a two-man "complete any mission" team, bringing them in after the rest of your crew has sucked up the dilemmas.
