Guys, what an amazing job. As a newb, this is incredibly helpful!
Starship Combat
Easy enough to do the next version too, as soon as I find out what's in the latest expansion
Drhoz, how many more versions are you planning on putting out before Friday? I have a game this weekend and want to get these printed out ASAP, but I don't want to miss any additions if possible.

Hostile Acquisitions
, I think you'll be set to go - please, use the latest version and report back on how it went
I'll hold off any more changes until after the weekend, regardless.

You've convinced me - I'll add them and upload them now.
..... Ok, done and up

Are these cards still available, some place else now that Megaupload is shutdown?
Version 2.01 will be shortly, probably on GoogleDocs, although I believe the earlier version is being hosted by one of the other forum members
But first - now that I have Hostile Acquisitions I've been making additions to the cards, and fixing glaring typos, and going back over old stuff.
For example, Hostile Acquistions has a new starship component, Warp Disrupter, which jams psychic communication across the system, by mutilating psykers. But it doesn't say how long for. I have to assume it's for an entire Starship Combat round, or what's the point? So I'm made an extended action card to that effect.
And then there's the optional use of Into The Storm' s vehicle combat rules, when doing Attack Craft Actions from Battlefleet Koronus. So I've made Attack Craft Damage cards so you can keep track of how badly screwed you explorer is, if he was silly enough to lead a fighter wing or whatnot against the enemy. That include its own Critical Hit table, but I've assumed that some of the results won't apply over Starship Combat turns - i.e. who cares if you're stunned for 1d5 rounds, if those rounds are personal combat turns, not Starship Combat turns. Plus, Ballistic Skill isn't used in Battlefleet Koronus' s combat system, so that's out too.
Some of the results still apply tho - immobilised is a bad thing if you're in Low Orbit, or an asteroid belt, and destroyed is even worse if you're in a gravity well. Movement at last Speed in VUs towards the nearest planet, star, black hole or asteroid belts seems reasonable, doesn't it?
Plus I've made cards so your player can moniter how badly shot to pieces their ship is.
Well, uploaded it to Google Docs - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByizdUrjtA3mak9TczlRU1dSeEd0QlJmalVJYUxyZw/edit
New to v.2.01 - Hostile Acquisitions components, Damage cards for the starship, and for an attack craft if, perchance, you attempt to combine the Into the Storm rules with the Battlefleet Koronus rules. To say that it's an awkward fit is an understatement.
Also, firefighting and the "Transmit the Pain" effect of the new component "Warp Disrupter".
as usually, let me know if you spot any typos, or things I should change.

Thanks for taking the time to put these together and sharing, very handy. Excellant work.

No worries. I've been considering putting more colour and border designs into the cards - do people think that's a good idea?
I just wish the Into the Storm/Battlefleet Koronus systems weren't such an awkward match

I think the cards are a bit ink heavy at the moment as is. If you did add a border, make it a simple line.
