The Powers of Junk Orbit Ships

Hello there! Have you ever wondered about the amazing abilities of junk orbit ships? Well, I’m here to tell you all about them. Stay tuned!

Now, let’s dive right into it. Junk orbit ships are equipped with a range of incredible powers that make them truly unique. They allow us to journey through space and interact with celestial objects in ways we never thought possible.

Gravity Defiance

One of the most fascinating powers of these ships is their ability to defy gravity. Yes, you heard that right! Junk orbit ships can maneuver effortlessly around different planets, moons, and asteroids by cleverly utilizing gravity to their advantage. It’s like gliding through space with ease!

Imagine floating gently near a massive planet, effortlessly navigating through its gravitational field. The ship’s systems work in harmony to calculate and adjust its trajectory, allowing you to explore new locations and collect valuable space debris along the way.

Junk Magnetism

Another incredible power that junk orbit ships possess is their unique ability to attract space junk. With specially designed magnetic systems, they can attract and capture all sorts of debris floating around in orbit.

It’s like having a cosmic garbage collector! These ships autonomously detect space junk and use their magnetism to draw it in. This debris is then safely stored and processed, ensuring that our space environment remains clean and free from clutter.

Resource Harvesting

The resource harvesting power of junk orbit ships is truly remarkable. They are built with advanced technology that enables them to extract valuable resources from the space debris they collect.

Imagine being able to transform useless debris into useful materials! These ships are equipped with state-of-the-art recycling systems that sift through the collected junk, extracting precious metals, minerals, and even energy sources. It’s a win-win situation for both us and the universe!

Interstellar Communication

Lastly, junk orbit ships possess a unique power that allows them to communicate across vast distances in space. Their advanced communication systems enable us to connect with other explorers, scientists, and civilizations outside our own.

Think about it – exchanging knowledge, sharing discoveries, and expanding our understanding of the universe. It’s a wondrous possibility made real by the incredible capabilities of junk orbit ships.

So, my friend, now you know all about the amazing powers of junk orbit ships. They defy gravity, attract and harvest space debris, and enable interstellar communication. These powers revolutionize space exploration and open doors to new possibilities.

Are you ready to venture into the great unknown? With a junk orbit ship by your side, the universe is yours to explore!

Space Cowboy: I’m a famous ship that’s always welcome at every port. If you have junk that needs to be delivered to a city nearby, you can make a direct delivery. And you know what? You can do this multiple times in a single turn to different cities, if you can handle it. Oh, and here’s a little tip: transfer points are considered adjacent to four cities, so keep that in mind.

Interplanet Express: I’m a speedy rocket ship sponsored by Earth. If you want to launch junk from Earth, you have the power to adjust the distance by either adding one or subtracting one. But here’s the catch: your junk and ship still need to travel the same distance. And hey, if you decide to launch a “1” junk tile, I’ve got a cool trick for you. You can actually reduce the distance to “0” and stay in one place for that turn, while picking up junk from your current city. How cool is that?

Time Booth: Wow! Can you believe it? This ship is actually smaller on the inside. When we switch to a new orbit, the ship can change its direction of travel. It’s like doing a U-turn! So, if we were going clockwise before the switch, we can choose to go counter-clockwise instead, and vice versa.

Century Fly: You know what they say, one person’s garbage is another person’s treasure. In this game, you can pick up junk from a city that is right next to where you are currently located. And guess what? The transfer points count as adjacent to four cities!

Puddle Jumper: Slow and steady wins the race, or so they say. Well, at least the slow part is true for this ship. Here’s how it works: whenever your ship moves, you can only move it a distance of exactly 1, no matter what you launched. But don’t worry, you can still launch junk to move, sending it away its normal distance. And here’s the best part: if you’re using this power, any other distance modifiers won’t affect how far your ship can go.

Advanced Game

Hey there! Want to mix things up and add some extra excitement to your game? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you!

When playing, you have the option to use the Night sides of the location boards and the “B” sides of the ship cards.

The Night sides bring in some extra complexity, perfect for those who want a more advanced experience. But be warned, the ship power “B” sides are a lot more interactive and can really shake things up! Approach with caution!

Ship Power B-sides

Necktie Fighter: Don’t get too confident now! When your opponent hits you, their ship gets hit too. And when you hit your opponent’s ship on your turn, they have to get rid of 2 junk tiles instead of just 1.

Planetary Defender: The mighty guardian of our home planet! With this ship power, junk tiles with values of “1” or “2” can’t touch your ship. However, keep in mind that you can still get hit by the Jolly Roger or Necktie Fighter ship powers.

Splendid #2331: Imagine having stars in your pocket! That’s exactly what this ship offers. It has the incredible ability to pick up any junk that comes its way. And here’s the best part: when you hit an opponent’s ship, you get to collect the junk they discard. Talk about an advantage! And if you were wondering what happens when junk hits your ship, well, worry not. Instead of being delivered, that junk goes straight into your cargo. How convenient is that?

Jolly Roger: Ahoy there, matey! Get ready to sail on the most fearsome pirate ship in all the seven seas. The Jolly Roger is a force to be reckoned with. Whenever your ship passes through or stops at a city that has an opponent’s ship, their ship is hit! Who needs cannons when you have this ship on your side?

Stomp Rat: Don’t underestimate the power of the Stomp Rat, despite its small size. Standing at just two meters tall, this ship may seem unassuming, but it packs quite a punch. When you launch junk and it passes through a city occupied by an opponent’s ship, their ship gets hit. And the best part? If there are multiple ships in the way, they all get hit! It’s like a domino effect.

The Secrets of the Night Sides

Earth: Hey there! Ready to leave this place and start a brand new life on the outer colonies? It’s an exciting opportunity! Oh, and by the way, did you know that every junk tile delivered from Earth to the Moon will add +1 to your final score? Pretty cool, right? So, go ahead, make your moves and watch your score soar!

Moon: Listen up, my friend! If you’re interested in becoming filthy rich, the Moon is the place to be! Why? Well, it’s because of the massive helium-3 deposits. Trust me, they’re worth a fortune! And here’s the best part: when you deliver a set of 3 junk tiles from the Moon to anywhere, you’ll add a whopping +3 to your final score. And guess what? You can score multiple sets! The more, the merrier!

Mars: Urgent request from the colonies on Mars! They need relief aid, and they need it now! Anything will do, so it’s your chance to lend a helping hand. And here’s the deal: when you deliver junk to different Mars destinations, you’ll get a bonus added to your final score. The number of destinations matters: 3 destinations add +2, 4 destinations add +4, 5 destinations add +8, and 6 destinations add +9. And that’s not all! Each destination after the sixth will give you an extra +1 to your score. Oh, and don’t forget, cities on Phobos and Deimos are also considered Mars destinations. So, let’s get going and make a difference!

So, there you have it! The scoop on scoring in this game. Remember, it’s not just about the destinations, it’s about the journey too. Have fun exploring, and may your score keep climbing higher and higher!

Phobos: Hey there! Have you ever thought about taking a chance on Martian junk? Trust me, it’s quite the adventure. When you’re out there scavenging on Mars, Phobos, or Deimos, you have the option of picking up a random junk tile from the Martian stack instead. It’s a bit of a risk, but hey, life is all about taking chances, right? Plus, you only get to pick up one random junk tile, no matter how many there are in your city. So, are you ready to roll the dice?

Deimos: Buckle up, space traveler! It’s time to talk about MarsTech warp gates and how they can make your life so much easier. When you’re launching or moving from cities on Mars, Phobos, or Deimos, these incredible warp gates give you the power to adjust distances by +1 or -1. Yep, you heard that right! Your ship and junk can travel a little bit farther or a little bit closer. Just remember, though, that the distance traveled by your ship and your junk must always be the same. So, hop on board and let’s explore the wonders of flexible travel!
