The Vidians are off to the races and already some trends are emerging. Below there are some things I am thinking through my powers of psychic prowess; let me know if there is a weather balloon disrupting my thoughts!

Friends for Life: Nimbus III, Staff Backwater Embassy has not infrequent appearances! This is to help fill skill holes along with attributes and complete a cool missions at the same time, or perhaps later, considering the Vidiians get worse as they go. Their ships can handle the extra range

Unique amongst non-uniques: While most of the cards used in the decks are the non-uniques, there are a couple verbs showing up as well. The first is Honatta, giving skills for almost an entire mission attempt. Less popular is the rummaging Downfallen Civilization, It is already more popular than other rummaging cards sued in the past several months.

Sips 4 U: With a fleet of four, they seem to be popping up in decks, though not really the three maximum you are allowed.

That's what I have. let me know your impressions, or adjust my impressions. Just be sure to not spoil the online tournament currently going on.

Out of the three posted decks, one thing that would've surprised me is the amount of usage of missions with bonus points, but, after playing a game (not part of the current tournament) using Grid 216 last night, I can see how being able to use the extra points for one of the point-loss abilities late could swing the game.
