ah okay i think i understand
so basically you play the cards to increase your battleship's stats?

what we could do is have specific card types

like attack cards, which includes upgrades like weapons
then defense cards, which includes shields
stuff like that.

also, how many cards do you think the player should be able to place at once.

and one last thing; are the cards you place able to be destroyed by the opponent, or do you only attack the actual battleship?

If you have ever played Magic think of that.

The 20 HP you get in Magic just has more representation as the battle ship. You add things to attack to it (the creatures in Magic, which can be targted even though your goal is the battleship, things with immediate effect (an instant), and things that have lots of health to block with (I think they're Defenders in magic, they have 0 attack and several Health)

But since you're building this onto your ship it will all be visual instead of seeing the cards (you'll only see card representations in your hand). And some cards will add directly to the ships power instead of being a target.

This is all rather complicated and there will need to be a purchasing system but does it make sense so far?

yeah i think i get it, atleast most of it
i'll probably understand it more once we start work on it

also, how is the game going to be layed out? like would there just be randomly generated battles against CPUs, or a tournament kind of thing?
