Here is an example encounter:

Ambush in the canyons:
Fight your way out (gunner difficulty 7)
1-3 loose a ship upgrade and all your cargo Full Stop
4-6 Full Stop
7+ Salvage Op gain 2 parts Full Stop

Loose him in the rocks (pilot difficulty 5)
1-4 loose all your cargo Full Stop
5+ keep flying

Wild Card: Tar Barrel Keep Flying

This card means that the player can choose to fight or run. If he has a tar barrel he can escape without rolling.

If the player chooses the fight option he will loose the ability to fly any further this round. He rolls a d6 and add his crew's gunner skill. If he rolls 7 or higher he destroys the enemy ship and can salvage it's remains. If he rolls 4-6 he fights the enemy ship off and is none the worse for wear. If he rolls 1-3 the bandits destroy one of his ship upgrades and take all his cargo.

If he chooses to run he rolls a d6 and adds his crew's piloting ability. If the roll comes up 5 or more he can keep moving this turn. If the roll is 1-4 the bandits catch him and take all his cargo, but his ship and crew are not harmed.

I was just going to use simple text for the first few iterations until play testing can reveal major faults in the game design. No point in wasting printer ink on beta versions.

One thing I should bring up if people want to make their own cards is home city. Part of the strategy of the Fire fly game is where to go shopping. Each market planet has a different specialty. Pilots can be found in Space Bazar while engineers tend to hang out in Persephone. Legal ship upgrades can be found in Osirus and smugeling oriented upgrades can be found in Regina. Silverhold is the best place to go for weapons and crew that are good at using them.

We should expand this out to the GOI factions with a city for a faction's market and a city for the a faction's mission giving contact. Name a faction where your card can be found.

Also in Firefly successfully completing a mission for a contact earns you a "solid" rating with that contact meaning you get certain special abilities when dealing with that contact in the future. A solid rating can be lost if you fail a job for that contact badly enough to receive a warrant. In our game becoming solid with a faction could mean you can ignore custom inspections inside that faction space, and some crew members would be willing to work for less if you are solid with the faction they belong to.

A fail state for some encounter cards could "incite war" where you actions cause two factions to go to war and you must discard the solid ranking from one or both those factions.
