Is this not similar to the incomprehensible mystery of boars not having spleens or bears not having intestines? Cause I'm blaming aliens for that and ... wait these are aliens. Mystery solved?

The problem is that smaller ships aren't really remotely capable compared to larger ships. Yes, larger ships have the issue of needing more crew, but all the additional slots that they get more than...

Tech, in general, is of marginal use at best anyways. Most races have blown by a good 75% of the tech stuff you pick up so they end up being useless most of the time. More over, the races place next...

I still say the answer is to have energy-regen spill over into shield regen when your energy supply is filled up. It minimizes the combat effects of shield regen because you'd have to stop shooting...

No, what you do is feed excess energy regeneration into shields. It's largely a non-factor in combat because you'll be using that energy to fire weapons and use sub-systems.
I hesitate to give exact...

I'd have to go back and check the different versions of Flak weapons, but your changes to them up till now don't appear to be universal. One or two varieties don't have the sub-text denoting that...

Heavy armor has a scaling problem. The average heavy armor is only 25-30% better than a similar level medium one. They simply don't do enough to justify the more useful component slot. Minimum, a...

You'd trigger them just like a regular weapon, but the direction the arc is fired at is determined by where your mouse is.
You'd "aim" them with the mouse, a fire them just like any other weapon.

Command as a secondary *finite* pool of pseudo-stats?
Let's say your ship has 100 command.
So you've got a laser that takes 8 more tactical points than you'v got points for. It'll draw the excess...
