Unload a barrage on your enemy!
For every weapon you posses throw 2 dices to damage the opponent.

Passive effect: Next turn your ammo/power will be depleted, and 50% of your weapons will be offline.

Alpha plays 'second shield layer'

second shield layer, cost 4 power this turn and next
Thanks to some skilled construction, your ship activates it's 2nd later of shields hidden away in it's hull

For the next 2 turns every dice used by the opponent for damage rolls has it's rolled value reduced by 2, with the exception of a natural 6. for the next 2 turns you can not activate cards or use ship expansion.

Alpha You just triggered my TRAP CARD!

CrazyBirdie

Sounds fun. I didn't think of having cards and card effects.
I will post updates as it gets developed.

CrazyBirdie Oh heck yeah. It could be like Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon where we could trade cards and whatever those card nerds do (I don’t play card games)

Dumb

bluurgh that sounds somewhat like a D&D style gameplay

CrazyBirdie

I'll have to work on that. Currently, I have ship construction figured out (mostly). Thank you, Walt, for the very nice graphics!
Next step: finish movement and attack mechanisms and create main board.

bluurgh plays 'second shield layer'

You stole my idea!

CrazyBirdie

bluurgh plays 'missile strike'
For every point defense your opponent possesses they throw 1 die.
Subtract the number of 1s and 2s rolled by your opponent from 3 times the number of missile launchers you posses.
The remaining total is the number of missiles that hit your opponent. Roll 2 dice for each to damage the opponent.

Next turn: all your missile launchers will be out of ammo and offline.

Maybe make it add some Monopoly to the mix, by adding special cards and the 200 money pass. Maybe make it where the pieces are beginner ships and each time you land on the only special square on the board, you get Cerberus or Cresent Wraith, and you instantly head back to the beginning and grab some money.

CrazyBirdie i skipped on PD's for cannons 🙁

CrazyBirdie

I hope you have fire extinguishers. 🙂

Terket

I was thinking of a similar idea but wanted to name it Starwright cuz that ain't taken no more.

Still deciding on secret placement or simultaneous placement.

CrazyBirdie

What do you mean by "placement"? If it is building the starships, I was planning on simultaneous, but now that you mention it secret placement might be better.

bluurgh

many use haggard modules instead of single parts to build a ship out of ?

CrazyBirdie

I don't understand.

Catelyn

I think he means engine modules, electro modules, etc.

CrazyBirdie

Specific pieces (such as a huge thruster) or a collection of pieces?

CrazyBirdie

Currently, I only have specific pieces, although collections can be useful in some cases.
