How those Blackstar works:
Every card has 4 attributes:
S - Speed
P - Power
E - Energy
D - Diplomatic
Those 4 attributes are very important to protect your own City as part of your Civilization.
Speed - This is the speed how fast this Hero/spaceship can move. How higher the speed how more he can move in the galaxy.
Power - This is the straight of your character. This is very important to attack. If your Power is low and you are being attached by another Civilization then it is possible that your cargo is being stolen.
Energy - This is infact how much you can earn during the day. How higher the energy how more Blackstar coins you can earn. If you meet another Civilization that is a ally then your number of Blackstar coins earned will increase a lot based on your diplomatic skills.
Diplomatic - This allow you to make trade deals with other Civilizations and planet to optimize your reward.
The price for the cards will be low for the early players but there will be a limit in the amount of certain cards. The leaders of every civilization return a lot more profit, or stronger then items that will be released in a later stage. During the session packs there will be really some unique cards that will give the gamer a lot of advantage against other players.
There is a insurance cost to keep your army fit, this will cost you a specific amount of Blackstar coins. The first cards will all have a life insurance so no extra cost will be involved there.
Watch out, as said before it is possible that other people still your cargo, so basically they will still some blackstar coins from you when you don't protect your goods.
How will we profit out of it:
As we need to pay people with Blackstar coins for rewards when gamers are making deals with other civilization we need to be able to payout those rewards. This will be managed by the insurance cost for the later gamers. This will be managed when players are fighting to each other as heroes can die if the army is big and you are not prepared. To kill a hero it won't be that easy, but it will be possible so basically that is a profit for us as the gamer need to buy a new hero if he want to continue playing.
We will also have a fee on the amount of stolen goods. So if gamer one has 100 Blackstar coins as cargo and gamer two attack player one and was able to steal 10 Blackstar coins then he will receive 9 and 1 will go to our funds to keep paying out the cargo returns.
