Reactor OverloadIncident Seeds or plays on table. If any player has "processed ore" to draw two cards per turn at any one Ore Processing Unit, destroys that site. OR Seeds or plays on table. Place on your ship or facility. EM surge disables each android aboard until Cybernetics present; erases all Characteristics: additional card draws. Rule hint for this cardThis card has an clarification: For this incident, you have “processed ore to draw two cards” if you create two card draws during one turn using the Process Ore objective, even if you convert one or more of those draws to downloads or other actions. There are no conditions for placing this incident on a ship or facility for the second function. The incident is “used” and returns to hand even if there are no androids, Card logging info: Logged by openCards team at May 1st, 2009. |  |
cards aboard; kills each Borg aboard (unless 
drone in hive); and kills all Rogue Borg aboard. Return incident to your hand after either use.This Card-Review article was written by Evan Lorentz and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Oct 11th, 1999.
This incident gives you the opportunity to present your opponent with a major risk to offset the power of ore processing to burn through his deck. If he processes ore at a modest rate - to exchange an unneeded card for a fresh draw - he's safe. If he works the processor too hard by going for the second card draw, he risks a reactor overload that destroys his Ore Processing Unit. The other use is defensive. If your ship or facility has been invaded by Borg (Rogue or not), super-strong androids or an unkillable horde of Fek'lhrs, flip the hidden agenda to kill, disable and erase the intruders. Best of all, in either case the incident goes back to your hand, so you can play it again next turn for continued protection.
Combo:
- Reactor Overload + Intruder Alert!: Whether your opponent is into Rogue Borg "pinging" or slaughter, you'll be ready for him.
