More suggestions!

I was just thinking about random drops. Like near the end of the game, where everyone has used up their "ace" and then a crate drops down, in the middle of nowhere, containing a random creature or whatever necessary to fight evil.

Use Beacons

Perhaps something like:  When you spend ALL your actions (except holodetect of course), you get additional 2 random actions to your hand  (this could pretty well prevent most 'tie' situations and would not disturb game balance I think)

Only problem with this is that it drags an already long game on even longer.  If its not going to end, why extend it?  Just make the game go into a draw after 50 rounds.

Well, by adding in two extra actions after you've used up everything, it could help turn the game around for the person who is about to lose.

I don't like the idea, it would change the game more than you think. Once you use most of your good things, it's usually a good idea to have holodetect ready, save a few aces up your sleeve, etc. But this would give people a reason to use all their stuff as quickly as possible.

agreed with above poster

just make it draw after 50 turns

Subspace beacons would more or less prevent it anyway. Otherwise it probably should be a draw (likely would be too with fire and alien blob unless a commander gets killed by it from moving into the opponent's fire/blob).
