    Establish Landing Protocols

    This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Jul 11th, 1998.

    Ever since Engage Shuttle Operations left out runabouts, we've been looking for a way to land those little ships that "resemble a large shuttle," especially with the advent of the � Planet mission, requiring a landed ship, and the defense a landed ship provides against a Patrol Neutral Zoneimage deck. Establish Landing Protocolsimage does it. While it doesn't let the ships be carried aboard a mothership, it also uses only 1 RANGE to land or take off, instead of all of it, and it works for any ship with no staffing requirements, including the Romulan Science Vesselimage.

    Captain's Order status lets you download it with Ready Room Doorimage, or you can get it along with an appropriate ship with Hidden Fighterimage.
