I am pleased to announce the art for the new Mind Control Helmet Card.  Artist: Mark Maxwell
Due to my own negligence in adequately reviewing the pre-press proofs, all of the Mind Control Helmet cards have a purple-tinted back instead of the blue back on the original Alien Tech deck. Refunds are available if you find this unacceptable.
This arrived today, oh man I can't wait until I have the game to play. March 31st can't come soon enough!

Overview

MIND CONTROL HELMET Pay 3 Fuel to move an opponent's ship to a different Orbital Facility and use it as if it were your own ship.

The ship may not change value during the move and may not be moved onto or off the Terraforming Station.

The Mind Control Helmet costs more to use than the Orbital Teleporter because you're using a larger pool of other players' ships, almost guaranteeing you can find the right number to accomplish your goal.

It has all of the same restrictions as the Orbital Teleporter... Cannot remove a ship from the Terraforming Station Cannot change the ship's value in transit Cannot use it at the same facility it came from

...plus one extra restriction... Cannot move a ship onto the Terraforming Station

Two MCH cards were included free if you pre-ordered the base game from the second print run.

A limited quantity of MCH cards are available for separate purchase.

The MCH is included with all copies of the game as of the 3rd edition.
