Price > This is how much ISK you need to pay in order to play
this card or upgrade this starbase. If the price of the card is ‘X’,
and the text on the card doesn’t say what number ‘X’ is, you choose the
number. Replace all ‘X’ entries on that card with the appropriate
number.
Income > This is the amount of ISK the card generates for you.
Shield > The shield strength of this ship or starbase. If
your starbase structure has a shield bonus, it is added to the shield
of your starbase. If this ship or starbase is dealt equal or more
damage than its shield’s total strength, or if its shield is reduced to
zero, then it is destroyed. All shields fully recharge at the end of
each phase.

can be placed in this region. In the Core Set, one outer region
(Ginnungagap) and all home regions have an ‘∞’ symbol written here,
which means that there are no limitations to how many locations can be
placed in those regions.
Assembly > The time that it takes to assemble this ship. A ship with no assembly tabs comes into play ready and docked.
Race Icon > You can only play cards that share a race icon
with your starbase. If a card does not have any race icons, it can be
played by any race.
Abilities > This card’s abilities. If the card has a flavor
text, it is written in italics at the bottom, and has no effect on the
game rules.
Command > This is the ship’s command and command power.
Attack > The damage that this ship deals.
Duration > The time that this news card stays in play.
Duration ∞ means that it stays in play for the rest of the game or
until it is destroyed.
Mineral Value > When a ship is mining in this location,
multiply this value by the ship’s mining power and gain that much ISK
during your income step.
Rarity Symbol > This shows the rarity of this card. Cards
with a watermarked EVE: The Second Genesis symbol are common, cards
with a silver symbol are uncommon and cards with a gold symbol are
rare.
