Wesley's STCCG card of the day #65

Hi, folks,

another mission awaits us, so let's plunge right in:

STUDY STELLAR COLLISION

Mission, Fed/Kli/Rom, Space, 25 points, Span 3
Stellar Cartography
"Detrian System: Study rare collision between two gas giants."

Do they come any worse? This card is one of the examples how a mission should not be done. Granted, it's a common, so we can't expect too much, but it is even feeble for a common. This mission is only good for the player who plays against it. Either he places lots of hard dilemmas underneath (and thus makes it worthless for his opponent, as a crew large enough to solve the dilemmas can do about any mission) or he plays little dilemmas and places his outpost there for 25 easy points (This thingy is triple- affiliation :-( )

The only way to play this is if you place some dilemmas there yourself. But I think there are better uses for dilemmas.

Now everybody says :"wait a sec, that's almost the same thing as Relief Mission" and you're ALMOST right. But relief mission has two features: It is a planet mission and it cannot be done by Feds. This makes the latter an acceptable card, but the former isn't. Nah. Out of my Eyes!!!

Favorite combo(s):

(We're waiting for a crucial part, so it's still not fixed)
