Dealing with the Iocrym has a lot to do with what version you're using. :) You can prevent device damage by having EMP-immune armor or armor enhancements. Although the Rasiermesser station will repair Rasiermesser equipment, I don't know of any other ways to repair damaged equipment except through u...

I'm inclined to leave most of the changes to the existing game up to george. I'd rather spend my time adding new content to george's game than modifying what there already is.

I'm probably the only experienced player who has never purchased an IM90 in this game.

I agree. I would very much like to see more stations equipped with Meeting Halls where people will tell you about these things. In the second half of the game, none of the stations really tell you anything, they just buy and sell stuff. These stations could be giving you information, like what happe...

Flenser is little different than a laser in performance. It just has a different damage type. That's why I don't consider it when talking about kinetics in general. Also, when I say kinetics, I'm referring to non-energy, projectile based weapons. Recoilless, missiles, thermo cannons, etc... They're ...

Put it away Wolfy. We don't want to see it.

Yeah. I just got blown up in the arena for the third game in a row. Anyone who says MAGs suck hasn't experienced a bunch of them blowing up in their face with lots of fragments. No escape! Fortunately this time I had purchased some insurance. Now I've actually made it to St. Katherine's. Yay! Incide...

Look at the Ferians' XML file. They change sovereign when they get angry at you, and it has some additional arguments in the definitions that most sovereigns don't seem to have.

I do that sometimes when I'm horribly curious to try something that I know will probably kill me but I don't want to ruin my game. So I backup my game and do it anyway.

I've only started with permadeath playthroughs a little while ago, but I do find it to be much more exhilarating when you have near-death experiences. And you do have to take some enemies a little more seriously (especially equipment damaging ones, and barbarries.), as well as living with the conseq...

...Because having custom ships is fun. Can have Hammerheads and Ronins all you want for illegal miners.

A targeting rom would be nice. It would be nice to have a consistent way of getting one, since I think it detracts a lot from the game when you don't have one, because you can't even check out ships to see what they're called, which isn't any fun for new players.

As long as we can blow up his temples I'm okay with that.

Essentially this is a mining station. They will appear in asteroid fields just like regular mining stations and outlaw miners do, and you'll see their ships harvesting ore much like the Ferians. Their stations will be protected by sentry units and orbited by a reasonably large defense ship much like...
