Hello. I love what you've done with CE, and I truely appretiate the FAQ and support. I would recommend an entire subthread for these questions (like the Talisman forum). this would make it easier for us to avoid posting duplicate questions, and easier for you not to miss them. But that's your call of course.
Q - Delta Scanner lets you take a card from the discard pile. Does this mean the Cosmic Card discard pile, or any discard pile? Is the card chosen public knowledge?
Q - Are the discard (including the destiny cards) piles public?
Q - The Precursor Seed says "while this tech is in play you may use the extra alien power..." does this mean that if you draw an alien with a mandatory power you can treat that power as optional?
Q - Whewn the defense needs a new hand during planning, may they wait for thr offense to chose a card before discarding and drwaing, or are the cards selected simultaneously?
