That is probably because the cards are from a set I haven't done (Universe/Time Gates, etc.)
Or the cards used are part of a theme.
Or the cards used are to support other cards (in the theme, etc)
Mostly I posted this list as a "if you don't know about these cards, you might want to check them out."

OK so everything always has a use.. BUt some I would never use and don't see why you would. Piracy T2 planet of Ill repute...2 points blown up, the planet doesn't affect half of my decks since they never had Crew cards. PIracy T4 Nrutas . sure the terrain stack is returned to hand...except base and ship stacks, most o fmy stacks are bases stacks,. Others of course are the same. Purposes are limited. Most of the terrain mentioned are rarely used and are superceded by promo terrain with shields. The Persona C3 negotiator, never seen it in any deck and never put it in one.

Just pointing out additional options. In case you are tired of playing the same cards over and over again. To tell you the truth, I would never use those terrain myself.
Maybe someday I will post my deck, so you can see what I played with at the time.

There are a lot of cards on the list, so I'm going to try doing 5 a day in order from top to bottom.
A5 Aurora Borealis
1) Played on a terrain
2) Each turn during the allocation phase one card is drawn from the deck and exposed
3) If it is a ship, base, dragon, crew, psy or equipment card it is immediately placed anywhere one the terrain stack as long as that card would be a legal play.
4) All other cards are placed back on the deck.
5) Discard when the terrain card is.
This card is a great way to get pretty much any card that isn't a luck, occurence, terrain, monster, or hazard into play without using a card play. As long as you have a way to move crew/psy/equipment to other locations, you'll be in pretty good shape. This card also helps dig into your deck during your turn, and is reusable every turn. I'd say it's one of the more solid A5's printed in regular sets.
C1-6 Suark Breed (side note: Suark is Kraus backward, the artist for the card)
[Text from C6]
1) This card loses one strength point for every other Suark Breed card in play in any fleet
2) When any crew card in any fleet is discarded, discard the lowest strength Suark Breed instead
3) The one player with the strongest Suark Breed card in play (no ties) may play a card on every opponent Card Play Phase A. This card takes no action until the owner's next turn.
This card would be really good. It nets you extra card plays up to the number of opponents in the game. However, if any of those opponents play crew, this card will never stay in play.
"2) When any crew card in any fleet is discarded, discard the lowest strength Suark Breed instead" means during the next player's discard phase they can announce they are going to discard any of their crew, and your Suark Breed will be gone with no loss to them. I can't think of a way around this, other than errating the card to say "when a crew is discarded from a crew action or destruction of location," but even that gets fishy.
So, this is a card with potential, but I'm not sure how you'd keep it around. (Geko's Note: R/H5 Time Trap works well)
C4 Temporal Mechanic
1) Allows 1 extra card to be drawn during each Draw Card Phase
2) 1 card (from those drawn) is placed on the bottom of the deck.
Great way to get extra draws. Slap an A6 Promotion on him (or anything else that duplicates functions) and you can duplicate the card draw function extra times each turn, because it's a separate blurb from the part where you have to put a card back. At the very least, it lets you dig one deeper during the draw phase and cycle out cards you don't really need at the moment.
R/C4 Trophy Hunter
1) Requires a shuttle or transporter to perform a there and back mission against one monster each turn.
2) A monster of lesser or equal strength is discarded each turn
3) If the monster card is stronger than the trophy hunter, the trophy hunter is also discarded.
This guy is nice because he has the option to get rid of M4 or smaller's every turn, or, say, that M7 Astromorph who's been munching on your ships or that R/M9 Luck Demon who's been stealing all your cards. He's a fairly well-rounded crew, slap on cards that up his strength to keep him around for extra turns. He's not a "must-include" for every deck, but if you find monsters are your bane and occurences/luck cards aren't cutting it to get rid of them for you, check this card out.
C5 Time Merchant
1) Each turn that less than the maximum number of card plays are used, the time merchant allows one unused card play to be used on the following turn in addition to the card plays for that turn
2) May sell this one card play to another player (highest bid in economy points paid on the next allocation phase)
This card is interesting because it serves two purposes. It can net you an extra card play, if he lives another turn, or give you a fair amount of economy at the cost of a card play. If you find your deck often leaves you with unused card plays you'd rather save for later, or if extra economy would give you a boost, try this guy out. I think he would really shine in 4+ player games.

Here's the next 5, but I wanted to fit all of the Time Knights into the same group, so it's a bit more than 5.
R/C5 Veterinarian
1) When in play, heals 3 points of damage to any monster or dragon in play in the fleet each turn.
Healing monsters is typically difficult, repair points need to specifically mention they can be allocated to monsters for it to work. This card can repair 3 points of damage per turn to a monster, and when played in reaction could save one from being discarded.
When used for a dragon, this card can repair one to prevent it from being discarded in a weapons fire phase, which is useful since you can only fire at each target once per weapons fire phase and the dragon will continue to protect your Sector HQ/Psy Network/etc. This card is by no means an auto-include in any deck, but it can help fill a difficult niche as a crew instead of a luck or occurrence.
R/C6 Time Assualt Team
1) When played in reaction mode, causes damage equal to its strength to any ship or base just played returning to a location in the active fleet (no transportation needed)
2)May cause 1 damage point each turn via there-and-back missions.
This card is great because it gets 6 points of damage onto any ship or base, and will survive to do another point of damage to (any?) target each turn with a transport. It's one of the better crews for reaction-speed direct damage.
However, this card is a time card, which makes it susceptible to all sorts of hate. I would say this card isn't an include in every deck, but if direct crew-damage is important to you, and you have a way to pull this card back into your hand each turn to replay it (tactical officer, maybe?), it's a good choice.
R/C9 Temporal Engineer
1) Played on ships or bases
2)Immediately draws 2 cards when this card is played
3) As a card play may be placed at the bottom of the discard pile moving the card there to the hand.
4) As a reaction, the ship or base may ignore 1 opponent volley. Temporal engineer is discarded to do this.
This card should be a staple in every deck that runs ships or bases. If you don't run crew, this card should be in your exception slots.
First of all, he draws two cards just for getting into play. Secondly, he can get back cards like Discard Equivalency or Reserve Fleet Call-up on your turn which would usually be lost forever. Thirdly, he can negate an entire volley to his location. This crew card combines several functions usually found only in luck/occurence cards. Basically, he cheats real good.
[Note: all Time Knights have the ability to do damage in the weapons fire phase, I believe they are the only crew that can do that. It can be very handy when taking out ships so your fleet can fire at the Sector HQ.]
C5/5 Time Knight
1) When destroyed in the fleet is moved to the time origin. When destroyed in the time origin is discarded.
2) Is only destroyed by time damage when in the time origin.
3) Each turn, any two stacks of cards in play may be reorganized into two new stacks of cards.
I think this is one of the most overpowered cards in the game. The ability is worded fairly, so it slides under the radar. When it hits play, all hell breaks loose. Your patrol ship suddenly has all your crew that were safely tucked away on your B9 Custom Base. All your ability cards found their way onto a low-strength crew an enemy marine was eyeing. This card basically makes the game a lot of fun for whoever plays it, and a lot less fun for anyone on the other end. The only time cards are safe from it is when they are on a location immune to time cards (such as Chronos or the Reactionary World).
This card is an auto-include if your opponents play things like crew, ability cards, psy, equipment, other time knights, or bases. My playgroup has errata'd this card to read "may reorganize any two stacks in your own fleet each turn" because it was no longer fun to play the game if someone kept one of these around.
C7/3 Time Knight
1) When destroyed in the fleet is moved to the time origin. When destroyed in the time origin is discarded.
2) Is only destroyed by time damage when in the time origin.
3) Each complete turn, as a reaction, negates (discarding) any one occurence card just played.
This card is great because it takes out occurences, which include cards like Time skip, Crinkle, Flood, Tech Breakthrough, and Alliance Treaty. This card, in conjunction with other cards to let you use this ability more than once per turn, can be a real powerhouse. If your opponents tend to run a lot of occurences, or you mostly play in 4+ player games, this card can be really useful because at some time or another you will need to negate an occurence, and you won't always have a card in hand to do it.
C9/1 Time Knight
1) When destroyed in the fleet is moved to the time origin. When destroyed in the time origin is discarded.
2) Is only destroyed by time damage when in the time origin.
3) Each complete turn, as a reaction, negates (discarding) any one reaction card just played.
This card is amazing because it helps protect your game position on your turn without expending a card play to deal with opponents reacting to things you do. This card can help you get through to an opponent Sector HQ by preventing them for using that Lucky Maneuver or Partial Regeneration to keep a ship around, and it may very well save your life if used during an opponent turn.
I would say this card is great if you're going up to strength 10 in the crew slot, and the C9/1 and the Temporal Engineer are all you really need in most cases as your C9's.
C10 Time Knight
1) When destroyed in the fleet is moved to the time origin. When destroyed in the time origin is discarded.
2) Is only destroyed by time damage when in the time origin.
3) Each complete turn, negates (discarding) any one card just played.
This card is an amazing entity. He negates -any- card, reaction or otherwise, regardless of what type of card it is. I won my very first game, before I had more than a handful of promos, with this card. I played him onto a T8 Council of Six homeworld (which I'd gotten from my playgroup), I cloned him with a C6 Clone, and then I played a C10 Spiritual Leader there for good measure. Everybody else conceded as I could negate four card plays each complete turn.
This card is an excellent reason to work up to the entity slot for crew, and along with the C9/1 can be used to pretty much shut down any chance of your opponents saving their ships during their weapon-fire phase.

I am trying to compile a list of all of what you guys are createing here and print out what everyones comments are. Unfortunatly my computer skills are lacking and I can not isolate one section from what is printed on the first page and just print that. I have to print the whole page. In an effort to save ink and stay with you as you continue to add to this topic it would be helpful if you created a new topic including a continued (Cont. usefull cards broken down per expansion) so I could copy your latest up dates with out copying everything printed before. Maybe it would be helpful to include the types of cards you are going to list in a sub title. I would appreciate this very much as I am following this topic with great interest. This is very helpfull in gaining insite in to the game and how it is meant to be played. Long needed here Four Stars****

If you think I've left anything out, or disagree with what I've put, let me know and I'll edit my posts. Right off the bat, I can see I forgot to mention the Time Damage for the Time Knights.

about Suark Breed, I looked again and only C6 loses strength. 2-5 gain 1 for each other Suark, and C1 gains 2.
