Proposal: Scanning the Neutral Zone

Quorums 2-9. — Quirck

Adminned at 05 Mar 2013 22:44:56 UTC

Enact a new subrule to 2.2 “The Final Frontier”, entitled “Uncertain Measurements”:

A Captain may spend 3 resources of the type produced by a Sector to change its Spectral colour to White and then Measure its Spectral Type as if jumping into that sector, as by Rule 2.2.1 Spectroscopy.  If the sector produces no resources, a captain may instead spend 4 resources of any type(s).

Allows for some mutability in Spectral Colours.  Note that Earth’s Spectral colour can only be changed by the second sentence.

against The current “white sectors may actually be a different colour; check small print” map is already awkward enough to read.

“If the sector produces no resources, a captain may instead spend 4 resources of any type(s).” could be read as spend and do nothing.

against Per Kevan, and too easy. Perhaps a terraforming mechanic when Spectral Type has meaning beyond Resource generation.
