Look at his Terra. Paint it all black turn it on its nose and bingo

If you're gonna use ships, surely it'd be better to stick to the core set - and I'd suggest the Boa.

They're bloody furious whenever I've met 'em!

That could work ... all the ships in plan view, from above, solid colour with thin white lines for the edges: a black Cobra III pointing up, for Spades; a red Moray Starboat, pointing up, for Hearts; a red Python, pointing up, for Diamonds; and a black Boa, pointing down, for Clubs.

Just had a better idea for Clubs: an Anaconda with two Sidewinder escorts (one off each bow), all black, flying down.

Love love love the idea.

A lot of ideas for card / ship design. Meanwhile, I have been in GIMP workshop.
Gecko = Clubs, Viper Interceptor = Hearts, Cobra 3 = Spades, and Python = Diamonds.

Nice!

looking good. Maybe flip the anaconda horizontally, otherwise a Pilot who had too much of Megaweed mistakes it for the viper

Other submissions are more than welcome. Then perhaps we can come to a consensus.

The dice game is now working. I'm not much of an artist or wordsmith, so if someone is willing to theme the dice game to fit the Ooniverse and write a few lines of hoopysque text, I'll be happy to send the test version in pm.

I would swap the cobra and the viper; viper pointing upward, cobra pointing downward. And not think too much about how they equate to spades, hearts, clubs & diamonds, remembering they are an English speaking convention only and others here would know different card suits.

My couple of cents would be to point the Python up and the Gecko down. Or change the Gecko to a Moray boat pointing up. But if shapes need to be very different because traditional suit shapes need not be followed, then use a worm or transporter as the 'clubs'.

If the suits do not equate then perhaps all the ships should point up, becoming their own Oolitey suits and just retain the colors to differentiate.
