Ferengi Ingenuity from Kathy McCracken (08/1999)

This dilemma is guaranteed to slow you down unless you're very well-equipped with Computer Skill. Specifically, those personnel with 2 Computer Skill just became a lot more valuable, because that's the only way to get by this dilemma with no further effects. If you have no Computer Skill at all, it becomes a wall dilemma; if you have only single-Computer Skill personnel, the most CUNNING is placed out of the action for three turns. Follow up with other Computer Skill-requiring dilemmas for maximum impact.

Combos:

• Ferengi Ingenuity + "Pup" + Access Denied: Take out one Computer Skill and up the requirements for nullifying "Pup" to a mind-boggling 5 Computer Skill. You'll have plenty of time to take advantage of the disabled ship attributes.
• Ferengi Ingenuity + Ancient Computer: Often the Computer Skill who is "stopped" will also be one of your SCIENCE or ENGINEERs, making it that much less likely that you can pass the Ancient Computer by any means.
