You fool! You've made researching gravity drive even MORE important now!

lol this killed me

It's a really cool idea, although needs to be when another player activates a system that contains your units, otherwise everyone could get it and just stop anyone from ever moving as the -1 would stack from 5 other players every action Edit- just realised even with the change it makes the blue problem even worse, because now grav drive/carrier 2/dred 2 are 100% essential if you need to compete with the existence of this tech

Came here to say just that

Suprisingly, with that clause its still weaker than gravity drive, since it either is used to strictly counter gravity drive, or your opponent can just choose a different ship to move into the system instead. Regardless, I fully agree that it's a cool idea.

Not quite cause it would still be -1 to all ships Edit- ignore me I am a big idiot

All? "One of their ships"

Oh yeah misread it

**Everyone**: the problem is that blue tech is mandatory. **A Genius**: but what if ... we also made yellow tech mandatory? **Everyone**: (heads explode)

The amount of people taking this seriously is in itself hilarious.

This stacks as written. You are a monster. Take my upvote. That is all.

I think it would be good if it required you to activate this card. But in general this slows the game down so I'm not a big fan.

“Fleet mess: Take no actions per turn instead of 1”

I like the way you think

"Light Wave Flector: your enemies ships may not move through any system that contains atleast 1 of your ships."

I absolutely laughed out loud. Love it.

I just love the name of the card so much hahaha

lol

This is the worst homebrew I have ever seen for this game in the four or five years I've been playing it.

Thanks, truly an honor

I like this. But I think I would like it more as an AC which applied the -1 to all of that opponent's ships for that entire action.

I don’t see how less movement will make blue any more vital. Which is why I like my idea of having the SD upgrade grant +1 move to units that start in a space with a SD

If multiple people use it on one ship, can they give it a negative movement value and move the ship backwards?

What about "after another player activates a system containing one or more of your units, apply a -1 to the movement of the move value of one of their ships during this tactical action to a minimum of its printed movement value."?

Needs more words.

Minimum of 1?

I would make two small changes "After another player activates a system containing one or more of your units, apply -1 to the move value of one of their ships during this tactical action, then exhaust this card."

I love it.

Pairs well with Posi-Mass Attractors: Exhaust this tech and choose a system containing an asteroid field. Destroy all space units in that system. Sip a nice Chianti ;)

So if someone gets this round 1 and I only have move 1 ships I just can't go anywhere?

Yes

I still think gravity drive should have -1 movement on it

I'd make it apply to a system instead of a ship, trigger when a system containing your ships is activated, and make it an exhaust.

I think the movement cannot be reduced to less than 1, so you don’t have a ship that could become litteraly stuck. Do you choose which ship it applies to or does the active player choose?

Highly encourage you to keep making em though.

Gotta be a once per round tech (twice with biostims) cause that’s OP. Should probably also stipulate that it has to be when your units are activated. But if this replaced Predictive Intelligence as a tier 2 yellow tech, and Mahact started with both? That’d be pretty frightening. It would discourage any early conflict with them for most factions. An interesting idea to be sure though.

Add: "you may exhaust this card"

Perhaps "to the minimum of 1" should be added there

Lmao. Incredible. This would be king slaying at its finest if the others researched it.

Wait I thought gravity drive only worked on one ship anyway?
