Alternate Rule: Ship Complements

Since Dog Fight: Starship Edition is meant to be a fast-paced game an idea was created to help players get to the action quicker. These are the ship complement rules, which apply during game set up. The complement rules help players build up their ship from the beginning of the game. Each player can choose one of these two optional rules.

Skeleton Complement

You may begin the game with up to 3 EQUIP type (green) cards equipped to your ship. An ENVIRONMENT type card explains this rule and can be used in game. It's available in the Inferno Extension Set.

Good starting point with some essential equipment ready to go from the start of the game, but allows for further enhancements during play.

INFERNO DECK

Full Complement

You may begin the game with up to 6 EQUIP type (green) cards equipped to your ship but your Action Deck may contain no EQUIP type cards. Another ENVIRONMENT type card explains this rule and can be used in game. It's available in the Intrepid Extension Set.

Start the game with all your major equipment, but further enhancements will have to be accomplished by cards that are not EQUIP type (green cards).

INTREPID DECK

Ship complements are optional by default. Both of these rules can be in play and each player can choose which (one only, if any) complement rule to use.
