Few notes not worth separate topics:
* Derelict Drones
Completed a contact bounty against Derelicts and recovered every last ship to try some of them out. Out of all of them, only the Rampart was fairly good. The rest seemed sub-par at best or awful at worst, even with their cheap DP costs. The frigates seemed really weak, although Warden looks like it could be worth its DP (of 3) if massed. Berserker feels like a worse Vanguard, much like Shrike vs. Tempest. As for Rampart, it feels like a budget Dominator. Two Mark IXs and Cyclone Reaper, plus several elite skills, this thing can do a lot of damage before dying, if it dies, all for the cost of 15 DP. Even if it dies, it is a zombie ship like Vanguard. It can focus on armor and be a real brick, or it can take Makeshift/Hardened/Stabilized Shields and play more conventionally.
I consider Rampart useful enough to use in my fleet. The rest seem good only as scrap or trophies.
* Princess of Persea
Finally tried out the duel. It is no typical fighting game made since Street Fighter 2, that is for sure. Instead, it plays like something from the '80s, like Capcom's Trojan, without the crouching or jumping. Control input (at least attacking) tend to get buffered too easily for too long, and my guy swings twice after I press buttons to swing. Took some tries to kind of get the hang of the controls.
