As far as I can see, any change that will make it harder to kite and kill the Sentinels, will inevitably affect the difficulty of protecting the stations from them. To stop the player from kiting them, you must either increase their mobility, or decrease the player's freedom of movement while fighti...

By dead end I meant more of the quarantine than the ICS. Had the Sentinels been much harder to kill, or faster than they are, it could become impossible to save enough stations and do enough missions, or hunt enough sentinels for the ROMs required to break the quarantine.

As I see it, the Iocrym Sentinels were made more as a bridge for the player than an obstacle. In-game lore aside (I think we aren't even sure yet what role the Iocrym actually serve in the big picture), without the Iocrym Sentinels as they are, Heretic can become practically a dead-end, especially f...

If you're flying a small ship like the Sapphire, it may be unlikely that you'll take a full hit now. That's my problem: It becomes that small ships are unable to take full hits anymore, and the damage possible to these small ships becomes much less than what would have been possible before. In my o...

Perhaps it was a combination of accidentally shifting focus from the game window, and a minor lag. Old computers can face a short delay in receiving inputs right after switching focus from one program to another. Mine usually does, so that when I switch from a game to the browser I need to wait a se...

Actually I think it could now use a little damage buff, or maybe add some light shield/armor buster. I farmed a lot of Phobii in my last permadeath game, and it wouldn't have been permadeath had the APA been as devastating as before. I'm pretty sure I survived a direct hit with a level 8 armor. It w...

I believe a weapon's onDamage triggers when it damages another thing, but an armor's or a shield's onDamage triggers when it is damaged.

It's possible to have the last qualifying friendly station destroyed, and then I think it's reasonable to let the Kolorov missions become unavailable from that station. I like the way the missions aren't 'guaranteed', but rather having there availability rely somewhat on luck.

I believe the Kolorov situation is intended and has always been the case, no? I almost always need to skip a Kolorov or two in a game.

That would be useful. Probably good to add to the wiki too, if there isn't a page like that already.

I believe that a 50% chance for each item don't add up into a hundred percent of one or the other showing up. It seems to be simply that each of them has a 50/50 chance of showing up or not, so in effect there would be equal chances of : -an Arm showing up, -an Array showing up, -both showing up, -n...

The Fabricator can transform a level ten weapon into another level ten. I've been transforming a Kytryn launcher into a Kytryn launcher for some time now (which is NOT my intention at all.)

Sorry for necro (though I think this post is arguably timeless, at least until the fabricator is changed) but is there any restriction to what the fabricator can create, beyond level and available resources? Can it fabricate weapons with notrandom, for example? Is it possible to get a Lamplighter, o...

Right, this is 1.7a1a. And right, it seems to have no docking ports at all.
