just as a general opinion. just a loosening of a mechanic can make it seem much more fun like if halo became suddenly easier there would be a spike of interest. so making Starsector/Starfarer a arcade shoot em up bullet hell is a feast the not to mention inbalance how counter 100 harpoon missles if i dont have flak. also something i just relized no flux and 360 degree shields mean i'm immortal does all shield the same now hound cant even be effective 12 to 1 why not use only the good guns op to damage ratio only measurement now autopulse laser=God every ship Hyperion. really you solved everything.
