In the rule “Navigation”, replace
“An Orbit is a Moon (tracked as the first letter of the Moon’s name) followed by an Orbit Number from 1 to the Moon’s Orbital Size. New Shuttles start in Orbit G20.”
with
“An Orbit is a Moon (tracked as the first letter of the Moon’s name) followed by an Orbit Number from 0 to the Moon’s Orbital Size. New Shuttles start in Orbit G0.”
Add a new rule entitled “Crashing” with the following text:
If 2 or more Shuttles have the same Orbit and that Orbit is not G0, reset all columns of that Shuttle
Bucky:
Mechanically, I think this goes rather poorly with partly random movement. Flavorfully, I would expect Shuttle AIs to be good enough pilots that they can rendezvous with each other in orbit without crashing. If the Derelicts proposal passes, this would make them uncontrollable. And this would interfere with part of the <a >agenda</a> by preventing multiple Shuttles from docking at the same space station.
Also, this doesn’t move the current stack of players at G20, so expect a major crash if “Start Your Engines” fails.
Is there a good reason why we should have collisions?
