Looks fantastic, but why is the Raynor being used as a Phobos class corvette?

Never really been into card games, but I might have to make an exception for this  ;)

Because it fit there perfectly - that's official version :P
unofficial because at this time i hasn't got any good picture of other ships

No FT Ares? Heresy. The flying potato must be in..at least as a special card!

Jeez, this is awesome. I don't know if there are any local printing houses nearby, otherwise I'd totally put these on a jump drive and get them printed out. I can see potential for many campaign-oriented expansion packs, though...

(waits eagerly for the BP Expansion)

Interdimensional Subspace Jump - When a Full or Tactical Retreat card is played, pay 3 to play this card. All cards on the Battle and Fleet Zones are removed and both players are allowed to replay cards in their Fleet Zone, but the player who played the retreat card can keep up to 3 units from the initial Battle Phase.

Might be a bit long, but I thought it was appropriate. Crossing dimensions, you don't know what kind of heck you're going to jump into.

Little spelling things:

On TF Pegasus:
Maneuverability of the unit that targets a TF Pegasus drops by half (take out down)

On TF Loki:
Pay 1:  If a TF Loki is in the battle zone, you can look at up to three cards…

On TF Perseus
Pay 1:  Choose one of your capital ships that is being targeted by enemy an enemy bomber wing.  The TF Perseus is now the target for that wing instead of your capital ship.

On TC Fenris
…Fusion Mortar instantly deals 2 damage to your target

On TD Orion
Pay 3 - TD Orion attacks two capital ships simultaneously.  The damage to each target is half that of the normal.

On TI Arcadia
While TI Arcadia is in play, the controlling player gains +1 CP at the beginning of each turn.  If TI Arcadia is placed in the battle zone, the controlling player instead gains +2 CP…

On TSG Mjolnir
If the target enemy capital ship has just jumped in to the battle group (take out now)

90% of my grammar corrections were lost due to a horrible file accident.  All of my copies and his copies were deleted.

Question: Will the missing ships and people be released as "Expansion Packs" and Booster Packs?

Oh and BTW those who download the cards with uncorrected Grammer on them, hold on to them. 1st edition cards like that are rare. Its a pity this isnt an official Card Game like all those various Anime ones we can name...Anyone remember the "Nintedo" Ancient Mew card buisness?

Anyway heep ahold of the non-corrected cards and be the envy of other collecters who start up when the corrected versions are released

Yes, im planing in expansions to double number cards for each race.

I can't download any Shivan files. Units, Events, Orders, nothing. Vasudans and Terrans check off, though.

Let me think about it little harder...

Maybe because IN FIRS POST there is information about WHAT IS available for downloading :rolleyes:

Um.

How do I play? The link to the rules is b0rken.

Post by: Alan Bolte on February 26, 2009, 07:31:55 pm
Maybe you clicked a different link than I did, but the rules are here (http://fscg.hard-light.net/download/FSCG_GameRules.pdf). Interesting Shivan symbol. I would have used the three dots you see on the front of the Lucy and Cain, but I guess that's boring, and probably supposed to have a function rather than being a logo.
Title: Re: RELEASED – Freespace Card Game first pack

Dots aren't thing that from within you recognize Shivan, red colour and spikes are.

How balanced is this?
Title: Re: RELEASED – Freespace Card Game first pack
Post by: c914 on February 27, 2009, 06:06:07 am
Both sides have few advantages and disadvantages, how does your game go depends on your card selection. Of course there is few powerful cards that your deck should have like "Destroyed Cargo" or "Construction Incident"

Hey, I don't play card games myself but I feel this is important enough to give c914 and his colaborators their own badge.

Good work  :yes: :yes:

I don't really have any interest in card games myself, but after looking through the rules of this, it seems like it would be a whole lot of fun to play.  Excellent work. :)

Only in A3 format for each race.

You may as well release the shivan pack if the english is the same as in the existing released cards...

I've played few "friendly" games (without keeping too much attention on score) with C914 and it was fun. Translation errors will be corrected as they are posted... at least I think so  :D
About the balance - everything depends how will you build your deck, AND, of course, the luck has a big influence on the game. Events like drawing 3 Hecates in a row may ruin the balance sometimes, but it is the fault of careless (or TOO careful) shuffling rather than lack of balance in game mechanics.  There are some cards specified to use against others, for example Terran player should always keep "Construction Incident" on the hand to deal with poweful caps and super-caps.
More special cards will surely come in the expansion along with the Shivans.

I have a couple of boys who love to play Magblast and this seems in the same vein.  Now if I can figure out the best way to print and mount these.  Very nicely done game
btw.

Holy sh!t, this is AWESOME!

As a former player of "Magic: the Gathering" I can see many interesting points in your game and I will definetly try it out, once I print out the cards :)

As for the grammatical errors, where can I post them? If you wish, I can post some here...

Anyway - great work, big thumbs up! :yes:

Thanks for your efforts :)

Welcome to the HLPBB!!! :D

Yeah, you can try posting checked texts here. They'd be easy to find. :)

Also, do you need to print the cards? As far as I know someone has discussed the possibility of using the internet to play the card game... ;)

I don't know if anyone's already working on a way to play it online, but it shouldn't be too hard to set up a Lackey CCG (www.lackeyccg.com) plugin.

I could have a go at making it if anyone's interested?

I still think my cards were prettier.

And funnier.

And more subtly racist.

A card game for a series I dearly love, and it's FREE? You mean, I don't have to spend a crapton of money on packs to add to my deck, like all the CCGs I've played?

...I love you. Will you have my babies?

Great job on the cards now I just need to find some that laminate paper and the cards would be protected great.
Title: Re: RELEASED – Freespace Card Game first pack
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 09, 2009, 04:54:40 pm
Any reputable print shop would be able to both print, laminate and cut the cards for you. They may even have a box or case too. Try yell.com and look for reprographics :)
