It's been our experience that the Navigator, Engineer, and Lucky Lou
are much more powerful than any of the other four,
(sos agrees)
so we made some
minor changes to try and balance things out:
- Psychic - in addition to lookahead on contracts, may roll
the die before deciding which jump line to take
- Insider - gets an extra +1 on imperial petition rolls
- Negotiator - instead of an extra two stellors for delivering
a cargo, he gets an extra 50% (basically just add the station bonus).
Still gets only one extra when receiving the station bonus for someone
else's delivery.
- Hero - double prestige on all contracts, except #1, for
which he gets a net triple (instead of quadruple).
We have an additional house rule - in the Basic Game, the Superjump
card may not be played by anyone who has their Imperial Contract.
The rules were jointly developed by the Buford Highway Star
Traders:
Mark J. Reed, Keith Graham, Chris Jones, Eddie Maise
