My favorite part of it is that I often have 3 of my weapons in hand, or a piece of junk that I picked up somewhere. Instead of discarding at end of turn and hurting myself, I'll just recharge for someone's check.
More than once I've been down to 1-2 cards on the turn right after my own. My turn goes pretty quickly at that point.
I will be very sad on any scenario that the ship is anchored :( Tessa just becomes another explore.
