Years ago I participated in a few Star Trek games where damage cards
were used. For every hit you drew a card. The cards had the ship systems
on it and the hull boxes as well. For every system and hull box there
were two cards in the pack (packs differed for every class) and there
were a few funny cards included (ship's pet killed, captain's bathroom
out,...)
