1. crew move about ship doing their thing and are killed if room they are in is destroyed. they have a constant effect
1.1. Example: "Engineer" - Each reactor generates one more energy per turn
2. Roaming CCG
2.1. Spaceship idea!
2.1.1. Advantages
2.1.1.1. Dont have to worry about roaming, you could just have a space map with nodes and stuff
2.1.1.2. Graphics would be much simpler to make than ith other games
2.1.2. This idea is basically that the cards you collect and use are rooms of a spaceship
2.1.2.1. You could have different types of cards: crew, rooms, actions
2.1.2.1.1. rooms are static, take damage and can be destroyed. some are activated and some have constant effect
2.1.2.1.2. actions have a one-off effect and then disappear
2.1.2.2. So basically you draw some cards and try to build a better spaceship out of them.
2.1.2.2.1. Why you would be making a spaceship in the middle of the fight I have no idea :P
2.1.2.3. Spaceships fight as you build them, in a turn based manner
2.1.2.4. You could have reactors that give you X energy per turn, and then other cards that if you activate them, use some energy
2.1.2.4.1. 1. sort of similar to magic
2.1.3. Space ship has overall life, rooms add life to it but when destroyed you can take down the final health maybe?
