As someone who enjoys attempting challenges and getting achievements one of my biggest headaches this season has been the rouge challenge “play a starship with pieces from 6 different classes.” I noticed one of the biggest roadblocks to this challenge is the existence of reno, whilst I understand everyone’s varying stances of play around him, etc. etc., I feel the biggest and “simplest” thing you can do that will aide starship decks as a whole is to not leave the unlaunched starship body on the board, this will make the unlaunched starship invulnerable to a reno wipe and spare any poor souls the heartbreak of watching their hard work be whisked away before they even have the opportunity to see a modicum of their hard work pay off, another benefit is you don’t have a “dead body” on board, I’ve experimented with what many people like to call “Among Us Demon Hunter” and in attempting their challenge of “Play a group of 7 crewmates” saw just how easily the starships can get in the way.
Now understanding the limitations of hearthstone, it might not be reasonable to add a button or something to launch the starship, but I think a good solution to accomplish this task would be to add a revealed card (as to allow your opponent to easily track the progress of your starship) to the player’s hand whenever they begin starship construction that has “this card cannot be copied, discarded, burned, or destroyed while this card is in your hand increase your maximum hand size by 1.” These lines of text make it so that your not down in hand size because you decided to play a new mechanic and prevent any unwanted interaction that may give your opponent a massive advantage for little to no effort, ex. priest copying your hard earned starship before you’ve played it yourself. Attempting to play the card would reasonably still bring up the launch starship menu, because why remove such a neat feature.
