So it takes off 6 random attribute points to be re-used? Would s**k if they all came off the stat ye wanted to improve in the first place >.<
I can see the benefits of it though.

And I always think that coming up with a decent name for a card is harder than coming up with the card idea itself >.<

Well then How about just resetting them all and calling it "Change of Tactics"?

For a rare card costing 10 turns, it should offer much flexibility. Oops! different card for self only.
I can't support a card that would undo my decisions if not cast by me.

Resetting all attributes of a ship is what I first thought of.. but in my opinion that would be too strong a card. If used on even a sotl it would basicly guarantee a win. Obviously it would have to be rare but I'm thinking would cost around 15-35 turns. Change of Tactics sounds like a good name and this would be a better way to change around your ship's stats. If this was an artifact then that would make it Uncommon or even Common. Good idea but personally I like how my card can be used offensively

Yes it is alluring but to instantly weaken a ship in a fleet that you are about to plunder could be seen as a act of cowardliness. Certainly you would not want to do this and then face retaliation by that fleet once its attributes are redistributed to counter your fleet's specs from the information in the battle report. So what do you say we chalk this one up to a daydream best woken up from?

Cowardliness.. How about strategy? There are many situations where I would use this card, and the fact that your opponent can simply readd the attribute points means that you should use the card wisely. Regardless, most people would use the effect on their own ships, and a card like that is most definitely needed. Thanks for your input :D

You are undoubtedly right. Let it become a curse card and USER BEWARE!

Agreed!
Type: Artifact (Self Only / Cannot be countered/blocked/confused)
Rarity: Rare
Turns needed: 6
Function: Redistribute all ship stats

The name is not bad but perhaps since it will be an artifact we need something that describes ship alterations, somethin like extreme makeover ? Any ideas based on this ?
