Every item in the game is described the same way, in one line: **size · how it gets activated · what it does when active · cooldown.**

1. **The pack is a grid of squares.** Every carried thing is a shape on it. You place each one by hand and can turn it.

Only the first card is the owner's. The rest are my conversions of the existing parts, to be corrected.

- **Simple FoF detector** *(owner's card)*: 1x1. Self-activates 1 per second. When active: if an enemy unit exists within 500, all adjacent items get activated. Cooldown 1 second.

Four by four, sixteen squares. The starting kit uses eight, so eight are free for what the station holds.

The detector touches only the gun, so the gun shoots by itself. The button touches only the shield, so the shield is yours to time. Slide the detector down one square and it touches the button too, and the shield starts going up by itself every time an enemy comes near. Whether that is clever or wasteful is the player's discovery.

*(Decided: it grows, in many ways. The list is proposed.)* Each gain is a small piece of new bag that the player attaches anywhere along the outline, so every bag ends up a different shape.

- **Ship assemblies** installed aboard each add a strip of squares.

Making it this simple removes these things from the older design. I read the owner's example as asking for that; say so if any should stay.

- Arrows, ports and the journal's list of links. Placement is the only wiring.

- The grid sits left of centre, the floor strip to its right. Each item is drawn as its object, filling its squares.

1. **What is 500 measured in?** The game as built measures in metres; a room is about 14 metres across and the current gun reaches 12. My placeholder for 500 is 12 metres.
