Hi folks,
I'm working on a Leopan deck and have a question. The card text on the
T7 Leopan Nebula and the T8 Leopan Operations Planet both say the
repair they produce can be used to repair the armor systems on a Leopan
ship.
Also, the card text on an A7 Urbanization says that the terrain it's played
to may produce an equivalent amount of economy for either the supply or
energy produced by that terrain.
Here's the question: if I play the A7 to either the T7 or the T8, and change
the supply or energy to economy, and then use that economy for repair,
can that repair be also be used to repair armor systems?
I would think that it can, because the specific text for both cards states
"repair produced by this terrain"... even though repair is being
purchased with economy, that repair is still being produced by that
terrain, so it should be able to be used to repair armor systems.
Any comments would be welcome.

Does the Urbanization say it produces the economy, or that the terrain produces the economy?
I see no problems in your logic as long as all the economy is coming from the terrain.

The exact text of the Urbanization is as follows:
-Played to a terrain.
-Each turn, either the supply or energy output of the terrain may be
converted to economy.
Since it says "output of the terrain", I'm assuming that economy could be
used as repair for armor systems. However, I play with a group that can
sometimes try to split hairs in the rules to try and weasel out of something,
so I want to make sure I'm right about this before I try it in a game.

I think you're correct. Compair the wording of the Leopan Terrain to the Tranoan Terrain, which state "...research (not economy)..."
I can think of quite a few other ways to get the Leopan Terrain to produce economy - you can use ships/bases with a Terrain Output Modifier as well as combining the terrain with another which produces economy (Planetary Storm, Twin Moons).

Excellent suggestions Eric, thanks. I was going to try using T4 White Dwarfs
with them as well if I can.

Yes, I would say that Economy used as repair points from this terrain can be used to repair armor.

I agree on this....what about the affects of a tug or a frieghter or a frieghter
station?

All of these modify the terrains output, so, yes.
