Are there technical or gameplay reasons that stabilized cargo pods only stay that way for 100 days? I'd love to put down permanent emergency stashes in far away systems, for when I get in trouble later. Which, inevitably, will happen
Didn't want it to step on potential hypothetical things. I mean, if it's permanent it's basically an outpost.
@Baqar79: when you say heavy damage, is it mostly armor damage with some hull, or is it actually losing the fight because of it? The AI is now much more willing to take some damage on armor (and a bit on hull) to avoid costing itself flux, so unless it's actually losing these fights, this may be normal.
Even if it *could* raise shields and block the damage, that'd still cost it a bunch of dissipation, so it's not a super-obvious decision. It should also get more careful once armor is stripped/hull starts going down.
If this is indeed an issue: seeing your specific loadout would help so I can run it against the 2 sim Sunders and take a look.
@Sy: yep, reported earlier and fixed.
I don't think I saved the Apogee loadout before going to bed unfortunately; so I did my best to recall the setup I used yesterday. I've also included the Aurora loadout as well (even then, I'm not sure if this is the exact layout I used when I noticed it dropping the shields to take hull damage from the Heavy blasters). Sorry about that

Alright, I managed to capture several screenshots showing this behaviour again today, so I have placed them in an album here:
http://imgur.com/a/ljuRJSince someone bought up the flicker (I've noticed this as well, good to see there might be a fix!), I was wondering if there might be a way to launch the game to preserve the system gamma?
I have a Wide colour gamut monitor, and if the gamma curve gets reset it becomes rather warm and overblows the highlights. It's something that frustrates me in all games, but I probably represent a tiny group of people that have colour callibrated their displays. Some games get away with this by offering a fullscreen borderless mode (which usually fixes this), or offering a dedicated mode that preserves the custom gamma curve (The Witcher 3 for example).
Luckily the little utility "color sustainer" seems to reset the curve back with this game once I switch into it; where as many games will not respond once in full screen mode.
