Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Centurion Resistant Combat Cards — Drawn when facing a Centurion ship. The player controlling the Centurion draws two, chooses one, and places it face down. Players in combat can also play a card face down.
- combat cards — Can be played face down during combat, some specifying when they can be played. Only one card per player may be played every round. Hand limit is six.
- Drive Power Movement — A movement option where players move ships adjacent hexes, with Fusion Drive repeating the process, then again for ships with Anti-gravity and Hyperspace Drive. This removes anticipation but adds importance to drive upgrades and player order.
- Faction Action Cards — These are unique to each faction, with some having certain strengths, bonuses, penalties, or abilities that are so strong they won't allow a reaction or are removed after one use.
- Ship Blocking — An optional rule where if a ship is in a hex and an opponent's ship with lower speed or drive enters, the player can choose to block its next movement.
