Title: Freespace 2 Card Game - Open Testing
Post by: Dark RevenantX on June 14, 2005, 09:51:22 am

Thanks to Setekh, I have an openly downloadable version of the FS2 CCG for you guys to test out.
GET IT HERE! (//www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/staff/setekh/FS2_CCG.pdf)
THIS VERSION IS RATHER OUT OF DATE - INSTEAD OF ROLLING AN ELEVEN OR HIGHER TO HIT SOMETHING, IT IS NOW EIGHT OR HIGHER!  THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS VERSION, BUT THE KEYNOTE TO ACROBAT CONVERTER DIDN'T CHANGE IT! - ALSO, THE AMMUNITION NUMBER NEXT TO THE WEAPONS IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIMES YOU CAN USE THAT WEAPON.  INSTEAD OF HAVING example: A 5X FLAK CANNON WITH 10 AMMO AND THINK THAT YOU HAVE 50 TOTAL SHOTS, YOU ACTUALLY GET 10 SHOTS TOTAL.  THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN ENERGY, WHERE YOU HAVE THAT SAME ENERGY COST FOR EACH WEAPON.

I need someone to make a proper manual for me.

Now that is a card game I can get into. :D

I like the way you planned it out: the energy cards and general indepthness of the game in general make it look like a blast to play. :yes:

Now only to find a way to print these off. :drevil:

There are some balancing issues, like the general toughness of getting the fighters to go boom, despite their 1 hp.  At least you can cut off the fighter line if you kill their destroyers.

Ok, now I've read it, I have a comment or two.

The ammunition/energy/damage counters. I'll admit, it looks like an effective method of doing the job, however, looks is also where the problem lies: It clutters the cards. A bit of a no-no. IMO, it would be good to come up with another way to follow the the progress of a battle.

Also, I'm curious. When a battle begins, does it continue on until one of the ships dies, or does it go like:

Step1
Step2
Step3
Step4-Exchange attacks
Step5

Step1
Step2
Step3
Step4-Exchange attacks
Step5

?

i think it goes until the ship is destroyed ie first player attacks, successfully destroys the opposing players ship. opposing player sets new card next round

You can use each weapon once per turn.
