Same ICON KEY family on DefensiveShields.pdf (Defensive Shields)
The Defensive Shields sheet (Virtual Set: Defensive Shields, official text as of 4 December 2006) prints the same ICON KEY wording as the Legacy sheet.[2] It covers Alter, Control and Sense immunity, pilot power X, maintenance, grabber and the triangles.
Earlier Premium Edition ICON KEY (VirtualCards1Premium.pdf)
The Premium Edition sheet covers the same twelve VS1 cards as the Legacy sheet, with its own ICON KEY.[3] The early VirtualCards1a slips sheet (March 2002) has no ICON KEY block.[4]
The Premium ICON KEY prints:
- A (Immune to Alter.)
- C (Immune to Control.)
- S (Immune to Sense.)
- P X (Replaced the phrase "Adds X to power of anything he/she pilots" in the game text, unless otherwise specified, and is considered to have a Pilot icon.)
- Upward triangle: Replaced the phrase- "Take into hand from Reserve Deck; reshuffle."
- Downward triangle: Replaced the phrase- "Deploy on table from Reserve Deck; reshuffle."
The Legacy ICON KEY adds lines for the maintenance-cost icon and the grabber icon.[1]
