also shouldn't the stats for armor and shield be switched around name wise? i mean on all sci-fi content the shields drop before the armor gets pierced... and logically it makes sense that way too unless the ships are not material based but non-caporial energy based... but that would still leave the question how does one tether armor on an energy based ship?
@Tenshi_Samshel
I assume that is the case with deflectors getting bypassed by thorn. imo i think it makes sense that way too, however it should not bypass armor, and i think it currently is.
i kinda wish that all ships got some small armor stat growth but that fighters just get that much more per upgrade. i also miss base capacitor stat. i definitely think interceptors need capacitor growth per upgrade. heck point defense should probably be a ship mod exclusive thing.
@thelowerlight
i agree pre 1/20/20 update, deflectors were op back then. (pretty sure they blocked 80% of damage when triggered back then without formation bonus)
but now it's definitely that +75 thorn with 1 or 2 shield mods that're broken.
hmm, with the 1/20/20 update I'm under the impression that thorns are over powered now... i think defensive stats need to counteract thorns a bit and some of the ship mods need tweaking.
geez this game is buggy, it's 2019 and this game has been out since 2012 why the hell is this game still this bugged?!? are you even trying to fix the bugs?
to be specific about the bug I will now list the ones I've encountered.
game crashing mid mission or before selecting a new mission. I'm under the impression this is likely caused by the transition from base to map view having bad code. occasionally it will give a flash player out of date warning, but that only happens 1/10 game crashes so that's not the source of the issue.
during the tutorial if you have item management open while waiting for your first constructions to finish and the construction finishes while your in the menu the tutorial tab blocks the close button and makes it impossible to pass unless page is refreshed.
these are two GAME BREAKING BUGS that have not been dealt with for years. the heck is wrong with you game dev?
I'm just going to assume this game like many others is not IE compatible. loading screen bar doesn't move even 3-ish page refreshes after waiting 2-5 mins.
I HIGHLY suggest making it internet explorer compatible as it is still a widely used browser by literally millions of people.
that being said I could be wrong and it could just be bugged. >_> who knows. *shrugs*
i like how in this chapter (as long as you've carried over your flawless saves from chapter 1 & 2 ) the human enemies become less and less of a threat to you. damn good change of pace form the previous chapters.
I wonder how ungodly the enemies in chapter 4 will be...
i think there's still one big bug to fix....

game won't let me select anything from the main menu at all...
not sure if relevant but it might be worth it to check if your game is IE compatible along with other commonly used browsers.
I checked on IE 11 and it works but it is very slow. I would like to fix it but the first step would be to reproduce it. Could you please check the console log when this happens? (F12 on Chrome)
gotta say if a game has a bug that forces you to use chrome and the developer endorses this work around instad of fixing it it's probably a bad game. (or at least lazy dev)
fix the game dev... just get it over with.
damn good game once more man! keep up the awesome work~
one minor bug like thing though,
when the engineer uses his self destruct ability the enemy he uses it on temporary becomes invincible and continues walking forward until it finally explodes.
now I personally think the invincibility would be fine if it couldn't be targeted manually or automatically.
OR
if say it wasn't invincible and took damage normally but if killed before they self destruct they don't cause explosions.
regardless bug only has a minor impact on the game and isn't game breaking as long as you don't go 3+ engineers.
game unfortunately won't fully load.

I'm running internet explorer as web browser and windows 7 for reference in case it's relevant info.
