Gaaaaaah. Personal mission to steal something valuable, entire enemy crew with perma-shields and teleporters. It was also one of those hyper-annoying arrowhead Offworld ships where the airlock was on one side, the objective clear around to the other side, with literally the entire ship and absolutely no other docking areas or breach zones in between. I was so very close to the final keycard, but the guards were on alert and the ship was on its way to port.

I had had piss-poor luck with subverters, crashbeams, or key cloners with this character. I did have a self-charging high-capacity sidewinder and a silenced armor-piercing rifle, but those didn't do anything directly against the guards. Using the sidewinder and a cloaking device, I made it all the way to the Level 8 doors by teleporting behind the key-holding guards and stealing their stuff. And that's when I screwed up one final time and took a concussion round to the face. The guards picked me up and

This game cheats a lot. Whether it's a puppet using a powerful move several levels before it learns it naturally or a different puppet using a move that, according to the wiki, it can't learn at all, I'm constantly getting smacked down by moves that are completely impossible to predict and seem tailor-made to counter my team. The odd type system that's just different enough from vanilla to screw me over constantly doesn't help.

Yo dudes.

It's out.

Wyverns can spawn surprisingly low, especially on small worlds. One big reason I usually put at least two or three NPCs on each level when I go the tower route and put bulky projects like statue farms just underground.
