Environment cards

By Grand Admiral Buford, in Star Wars: Armada

X-wing just got new environment cards that actually look like a very nice addition to that game. Armada already has those in the form of our objectives and some of the new obstacles in the campaigns but... could there be some additional card/cardboard packs that could provide some additional stuff to change up games without adding new ship title, crew or ship upgrades? I have no idea what it might be. Maybe random x-ray star bursts, drunken death star gunners firing super lasers at everyone (sorry, needed something fun), hostile 3rd parth intervention/interference. I am not really thinking about changing actual ship operations, just something... environmental. New types of gas clouds like x-wing got sound good too.

Meteor shower sounds fun/dangerous. Or a solar flare

Objectives fill this niche neatly. Exogorths, purrgil, gravity rifts, and dust fields are all environmental hazards. Often the objective itself dictates the environment, Solar Corona, Dangerous Territory, Navigational Hazards, Minefields, Asteroids, Nebula Outskirts, Ion Storm, Infested Fields, Volatile Deposits and Hyperspace Migration being the notable examples.

Because we have a standardized set of obstacles deployed in a “normal” game, a new pack for terrain would mean new objectives. Which is always fun.
