Hello everyone!

By accident I rediscovered my ancient Space Crusade box over Christmas. Totally unplayable, unfortunately: in a real sorry state with figurines broken and parts missing... Nevertheless I got hooked up again, and it carried me away quite a bit. After a quick ebay search I found the best offer by a guy living two streets away - what a coincidence!

Now I need some help, though.
Back as a kid I never realized how poorly phrased some of the rules, event cards and equipments are.
For instance, how do other players handle the "marks of chaos" ?
They're either hardly useful (you pull an extra Orc), not really applicable (in missions with no reinforcements - where do they come in?), no use at all in missions where you get all reinforcement tokens) or super powerful (in missions where the alien players get all reinforcement tokens except dreadnaught - even one mark of chaos gives you a second dreadnaught).

Or "master controls" event card?
Who gets to control the doors: alien player or space marines? All space marines or one player only?

Many thanks in advance!
