Being a look back at cards from the Star Trek CCG, and what I thought of them back when they were fresh and new... in EPISODE order. Where have I heard that name before...?
PICTURE: The gray color palette isn't bad per se, but the card is so blurry as to make it so. Again, I do like the furs, but can't give the image a passing grade based on that. At least he looks like he's having fun. Only 2.4.
LORE: Pretty short, it covers his classification, but not his skill. No mention of universality. Only one of the Ferengi named could actually make use of the 6th Rule. And they've given him a name that sounds too much like a certain Federation personnel of long standing. No more than a 1.5. Poor.
TREK SENSE: Pretty non-descript, I'll agree with the universal icon even if it gets no support from the lore. What I won't agree with, however, is the skill. He's an Astrophysics mission specialist? Then why send him down to Portal 63's planet? And where did a Security guy pick up this difficult scientific skill? At least he was given the Cunning to understand the subject matter, but the way he was acting on the show, I think he'd be hard-pressed to prove it. Integrity's a bit low for a crony (they're usually loyal to their leaders, at least). Strength's on the high end for most TNG Ferengi, but is fine. Seeing as I don't find much to agree with, I won't go over 1.2.
STOCKABILITY: Mordoc finds his niche quite easily. Ferengi aren't exactly overflowing with SECURITY personnel, especially universal ones, so there's that. They also only have a handful of Astrophysics personnel, and it's a skill that's often required of space dilemmas and missions. And his attributes aren't a problem. Add to that his being a mission specialist, downloadable through Assign Mission Specialists, and you've got something. The Ferengi have very few mission specialists, so using the strategy is practically gonna require you to use all of them with very specific missions. Missions that require Astrophysics? Purchase Moon is seminal. A couple of others are universal, so are great for redundancy (Collect Sample and Explore Interstellar Matter, for example). All that, plus Letek can play the 6th Rule shuffle with him. Patching more than one hole, he deserves his 3.7.
TOTAL: 8.8 (44%) Stockability couldn't save him.
