The Benevolent Protector - nice one. More like Lord Overlord the Lord, Salvage Dave had better behave himself!

Wait, I thought the CR decay from storms was removed? But by the (b)log here, it says that they did lose CR?

[Tycow]

Seriously, great read David. Good work.

Really looking forward to the next release!

This was wonderful. And I will be taking a combat ship exploring, profit margins be damned...

Definitely hasn't been removed.

Cant wait to get my hands on an apogee again!

Ouch... Has the slowly at least been removed? Those two, combined with fast ship recoveries and how "fuzzy" the hyperstorm's edges are, really hurts...
Also, does sustained burn start out at +10 or +5? (IE does that skill make it +10 or +15)?
Edit: Is there a max burn speed of 20?

Wow, I'm assuming Zeta Tar is a procedurally generated system?  It's a surprisingly large, populated, and just overall dense system.  Too bad it's completely barren, as will be the fate of a lot of interesting systems, I think.

Also; the DDS Delta Max Defender-class, PD variant ship eh?  Sounds like a sentry or vedette drone, considering the entire rest of the system is completely uninhabited.

EXCITEMENT INTENSIFIES  

(*Ahem* Love it!!! Can't wait to be able to do things like this myself... Exploring systems, finding derelicts, salvaging wreckage...!)

I was actually a bit shocked at how barren it was (and worried "oh god this is going to be the most boring blog post ever"). My experience in testing to this point has yielded a lot more junk floating around, on the whole. I did of course eventually stumble into some very nice and valuable stuff, just ... you know. REDACTED.

It's +10/+15, limit 20.

So we've seen a "Defender-Class PD Variant" that looks to be the size of a fighter, and a "Picket-Class Assault Variant" that looks to be the size of a frigate. Interesting. Looks like you want at least one dedicated combat vessel before you start doing deep black salvage.

There's been a lot of this "REDACTED" recently, hasn't there?   Damn those Hegemony representatives and their tight lips...
