I would also add a clause allowing parties to leave the contract if not currently engaging in a Space Battle, but in principle I think it works too, although I don't entirely see the point - an Energy value higher than the Spaceship's Energy balance is explicitly reduced to the Spaceship's Energy balance, and a negative Energy value should have the same effect as zero Energy (because you can't "revoke" a negative number of assets).
(And effects on Armour are based on the amount of Energy actually revoked, not the amount stated.) -twg ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Tuesday, January 29, 2019 6:18 PM, D.
