Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Feel free to edit the cards as you please. I'm just the guy making up the ideas. Nice to see that I got Isis Repair right on the nose, though.

Quote
GTA Charybdis - (Unit) AWACS Mode: Spend 2 to allow one of your Capital Ships to target units located in your opponent's Fleet Zone for one turn. Allowing two Capital Ships this ability carries a cost of 5. The Charybdis is treated as a cruiser, but it can only be attacked if the rest of your units acquire targets or become targets themselves.

Sensor Jammer - (Equipment) Attach to a cruiser. The cruiser gains the following ability. Jamming: Pay 3 to prevent your opponent from using any Order cards during a given turn. When this card is attached to a GTA Charybdis, the cost is reduced to 1 per turn.

Galatean Fury - (Order) Play immediately after one of your Capital Ships have been destroyed. All enemy Capital Ships gain -1 AC/-1 AA for the rest of the Battle Phase.

Nebulous Lightning - (Event) Only usable during a Nebula Battle. When played, Nebulous Lightning afflicts a random enemy unit. If a fighter or bomber wing is selected, it receives 1 damage and 0/0 until the end of the turn. If a Capital Ship is selected, it is dealt 1 damage and a random attribute is reduced by 1 until the end of the turn.

47th Red Shirts - (Special) Attach to a fighter or bomber wing. This wing receives n damage immediately, but gains +1 to all stats per 2 damage it receives. The attached wing is automatically destroyed if it attempts to jump out of the Battle Zone.*

* = Only available in the Just Another Deus Ex-Pansion Pack.

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Just a couple of ideas this time, and they're not too original. I'd spend more time working out original concepts, but I've got college classes soon.

Quote
GVA Setekh - (Unit) (The description is the same as the GTA Charybdis, but it has lower AA and AC in return for higher MN and Agility.)

Broad Side to Bear - (Order) Choose a capital ship and add +2 AC/+2 AA. If an order such as Side to Side is used by an enemy, add +3 AC/+3 AA to your capital ship. If the selected ship is a GTD Orion, +4 AC/+4 AA.

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
GVA Setekh - here i would change target for ability not capital ships but fighters and bombers.
Generally Vasudans had lighter than other races fighters and need some support in this matter.

 
Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
If the task isn't already being done, despite being newly-registered, I'd like to offer my grammar-nazi and typo-correction services.  It's a shame to see such beautiful things with grammar errors and typos.  Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes with this request, no offense if I am.

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Go ahead.  I just can't find the time to do it these days.

It's a shame that all copies of the completely grammar-fixed card sets were destroyed.  I just don't have enough time/energy to go through it all again.  If you want to do this, just pm c914.

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Pardon the digging, but I've come up with a few more card ideas.

Quote
Last Strike - (Order) The selected ship gains +5 AC when attacking a capital ship, but loses Agility and MN until the end of the Battle Phase.

Geosynchronous Bombardment - (Event) Chosen enemy cannot use any equipment cards for two full turns.

Weapon Prototype - (Special) Attach to any fighter or bomber wing. When an offensive equipment card is attached to the same wing, double its effects instantaneously. For Single-Use Equipment cards, the effect lasts until the end of the turn. For Multi-Use Equipment cards, the effect lasts for the remainder of the Battle Phase.

Feel free to edit as necessary!

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Hi c914,

I realize I just registered for this forum [after returning to my Freespace 2 addiction], but I was looking at and enjoying your card game. If you still need someone to proofread/check the grammar on the Shivan cards, I'd be happy to help. I'm a native English speaker, and although I'm not a professional editor, as a law student I've done copy editing for legal publications.

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
Okay, this project seems to don't have been active for many time. Anyway, I have the idea to make a small software to play this game, and for it, I have to ask you (the cards maker) for some points :

I'm reading these 2 cards :
SF Astaroth
5/1 1/2 10/2 --> that's the notation I'm using : Command Points Needed / Jump Cost | AC / AA | MN / HP
Swarmer
SF Astaroth gain 0/+1 for each other unit with this ability present in the Battle Zone

SB Nahema
7/1 5/3 8/4
Swarmer
Nahema gets +1/0 for each other unit with this ability present in the battle zone.

These 2 cards are called "swarmer". We could consider that if these 2 cards are swarmer, then if these 2 cards are present in the battle zone, Astaroth should get 0/+1 and Nahema +1/0.
However, it is precised "for each other unit with this ability", and despite these 2 cards are swarmer, they haven't got exactly the same ability.
Logically, they shouldn't get their bonus. But I think it could be better for the game if they could get their bonus anyway, and with any other unit called "Swarmer".

What's your opinion about it ?

------------------------------------------

There is another thing :
VC Aten
5/1 4/10 7/5
When Aten is target of a cruiser or corvette, both ships get -1 MN

The rule book says :
"First, the maneuverability of both units is compared.
The difference between the maneuverability
scores is penalized to the firepower (both AC and
AA) of the unit with the lower maneuverability."

Getting their MN -1 to attacker and attacked is equivalent to do nothing  :blah:
Or maybe it isn't until the end of turn ?

-------------------------------------------------

Oh my god, I think it's an error, but the SCv Moloch is a fighter wing ! Remind me to never fight a wing of these things x) I prefer destroy a Lucifer !

-------------------------------------------------

SCv Moloch
10/1 8/11 4/11
Qoutub missiles :
Pay 2
Moloch can target 2 wings of fighters or bombers, both get maximum damage from moloch's AA Fire power.

Hangar Bay
Moloch can carry 1 wing of fighters and bombers.

The ability Pay 2 of this Moloch is very dangerous : it has got 11 AA firepower, and I don't know any fighter or bomber that have more than 11 HP :(
So you pay 2 and you destroy 2 wings. And you can use this ability every time you want. So, you summon Moloch, and the opponent have no more fighter or bomber wing for some CP. I think I will command Shivans ;)

----------------------------

And with the spacecraft that gets +1 HP until end of turn, there's a real problem. Let's imagine that this effect is activated, and the spacecraft, after being attacked, is only 1 HP. At the end of turn, the +1 HP negates, and the spacecraft is now 0 HP : a real phantom ship.
I think it would be better if the "+1 HP" were "prevent 1 damage". I think I will do modifications to the cards.<

And with the damage marker there is too a big problem : the Orion is 15 Hp. In a battle phase, Orion is very damaged and it is now 2 HP. So, it gains a damage marker. But at the beginning of the next turn, Orion have 7 HP, because it has got a damage marker... Orion just gained 5 HP !

---------------------------

Hangar Bay
TD Orion can carry 3 wings of Fighters and Bombers

Hangar Bay :
Ravana can carry 6 Wings of Fighter and Bombers

There are 300 meters between Orion and Ravana, and these 300 m represents 3 wings.

Hangar Bay :
Colossus can carry 6 wings of fighter and bombers.

The Ravana has a hangar bay as big as the Colossus' hangar bay. I guess the Shivans can compress their fighters to get more space. Did you know Seraphims were inflatable ?

Re: +++ FreeSpace Card Game +++
I say starter decks and booster packs should be released in .rar or .zip files. (To make them packs)

All cards must be printed on cardstock or they are invalid.

When the online game begins, cards must be "bought" with "points." You get these points by making posts and edits on Hard-Light, or by playing the card game online.


Also, I would have made the battlezone a grid so you can move your units around the battlefield. But that would be too much like chess I guess. But they would have ranged attacks.
Wait, that's starting to sound a lot like heroscape.
