Yomin Carr (A)

Stealth for Yomin was a representation that he was undercover. Since he was undercover, he had an advantage of knowing things the others did not. The way I translated that into the game was by getting an extra draw of cards.

Danni Quee (B)

Like I said, when I can quickly find a graphic for a card, I'll do that.  For those cards, I'll post the actual card here as opposed to just hanging it in the cloud (link above).

This is is second of the two Danni card for this set translating her actions in Vector Prime to game mechanics.

4 New Cards Made

These cards don't have graphics yet, so I didn't post them here (just their explanations).  They are in the cloud (link below or above).

Leia Organa Solo (B): This was inspired by Leia sitting as Han's co-pilot in the battle of Helska 4 taking Chewie's place on the Millennium Falcon.

Red Knights of Life Squad:  The Red Knights were the technology hating followers of Nom Anor on Rhommamool. Given their first appearance in Vector Prime was chasing after a droid, I gave them an ability that let them damage a droid. Since they hate all things technological, I placed the restriction on them that they must attack a machine-based unit first. I felt the bounty made this card more interesting.

Square of Hopeful Redemption:  I wanted to represent the Square where the Red Knights took droids to “die,” but giving it an ability that caused a player to simply discard a droid unit is a more accurate translation of what that location represented, but I thought it was a bit too much. So, I tamed it down a bit.

Red Knights of Life Leaflet:  I wanted to translate the Red Knights recruiting efforts into a card. With this car, they gain a new “recruit.”

Where you can get the cards

Also like I said in a prior post, I was going to park the cards out there on the "cloud."  I put a generic Star Wars logo for the cards I haven't gotten graphics for yet.  Those will change eventually.  Here's the link: Vector Prime.  I'll put the link up above as well.

New Way of Doing Business

Ok, like I said in a prior post, I am going to put all the card shells together then go back and put the graphics in.  Trying to complete a card with the graphic was slowing me down.  This way you can get a look at the cards at a faster rate than I was posting them.  The exception to this rule is if I happen to have or can quickly find a useable graphic for the card.

Different Approach

I've been on a bit of a vacation.  So, I haven't posted any new cards in a while.  I've also been thinking on ways to speed up making of cards.  What I think I'm going to do is make all the cards without graphics.  Create a file sharing site, like Microsoft or Google has, so people can see the card if not use them.  Then I'll go back and put graphics in them.  Finding a graphic is the longest part of the process.  And sometimes I find graphics to use, but need to touch them up a bit...for example, if I need a squadron of Headhunters, then I find one Headhunter, find a space background, times the Headhunter by four or so, and there's a graphic for a card.  That takes a good amount of time.  I think it will go faster if I simply make card "shells" without graphics, then go back and find/add the graphic.  We'll see how it goes.
