My thoughts exactly

[Dr Vegapunk]

Too much offensive cards,should've add more defensive one to counter one or two of those

[Captain dungeness]

I think that Generosity should allow you to choose the amount you lose, also being the amount sent to the other person.

I agree! It would be easy to use turns to choose the gold amount. I propose transferring: 75,000g*X -- where X is the number of turns used. (8 turns = 600k gold, 200 turns = 15M). Generosity should be an Uncommon card because it's the only legal way to give gold without a commandeer card (a rare card).

Let me break it down to pieces as I understand 29 new cards can be hard to chew right away. Please read my break down and then tell me if you still remain on this statement.

There are 9 offensive cards (3 uncommon, 6 rare) out of 29 proposed cards.
3 of these offensive cards conduct ship damage and have 2 powerful (common too) counterparts (combo with brigs).

1 of them targets hostility and there is an exact hostility counterpart.

Then there is
-1 card that targets ship attributes (It will act as a Master Craftmanship counterpart - but this card is still weaker or better said half as strong due to same rarity and flip coin ability)
-1 card that targets ships out of fleet (too many ships can be out of fleet and commandeer is not enough any longer. It also stands as the only counterpart to MoW out of fleet tactic)
-The last three offensive cards, target danger but only 1 of them can initiate combat - the other two are counters to an attack that already begun in some other way.

It must be limited to ensure that the card cannot be exploited. This card is meant to facilitate small payments and the ability to help new players. For more options and the ability to roam wealth freely, you will need to wait for the banks.

ok but i would just get new players to booty master me. This card should at least be uncommon.

hmm, that's a valid argument. We are open to redesign suggestions then in order to keep it as rare.

New players to booty master you?
You would require on your person, 7.1mill to 12.5mill for a booty master to net 500k gold. Also, how many new players have a booty master in their first few days? i think this is good for replacing buried treasure in regards to helping new players.

Although i kinda agree on the rarity spastic, if it is designed to help new players and pay small debts, who's gona cast a rare voodoo on a new player that might quit after a week? If they do it's a waste of a card that you'll get rarely, least throwing 10 buried treasure at someone that might stop playing isn't really a waste.
Would it be plausible to add a second variant of it, thats common/uncommon and maybe has special requirements, such as, players must have Maximum of X fame(although glitchable), or character account can only be X days old(prob best option), or have max X ships(again glitchable) to receive the money? That way their is a card that vets can use to help new players, that isn't rare, wouldn't have 'better' purposes and wouldn't be such a waste if the new player quit after a week or 2...

[Spastic]

i used to have 20-30 mill on me at any one point in time. So players would get a fair bit of money. Ask any of the players that have used a booty master on me.

i suggest that it can only be used on players that are less than 3 weeks old.
