DRONE [O:BGG] Uses Drone Ships Andy Leber (Uses 20 Extra Ships)
Game Setup: Choose one unused player color and take the 20 ships in that color (16 in a 4-planet game), placing them on your alien sheet. Do not use this power unless you have an unused player color.
You have the power of Disposability. As a main player, after cards have been selected, you may use this power to add any number of your disposable Drone ships from your alien sheet to your side of the encounter. If you lose the encounter, instead of being captured or going to the warp, the disposable Drones are removed from the game. You do receive compensation for lost Drones when you would receive it for your normal ships. Drones also collect rewards on your behalf when appropriate. At the end of the encounter, disposable Drones that were not lost return to your alien sheet.
History: Over the eons, many races created automaton servants to do their bidding, and invariably these servants became sentient and rebelled against their masters. The Drones were one such product, and rather then rejecting the methods of their former masters, they saw the practicality of having a subservient class of disposable soldiers to deploy into battles. Once the final conquest has occurred, the Drones are certain they will be able to retire their disposable forces before they become the wiser.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Combat type power.
Wild: You may discard cards from your hand as though they were reinforcements worth +1 each.
Super: During your regroup, instead of retrieving a ship from the warp, you may take a disposable Drone that has been removed from the game and add it to your alien sheet.
