OK gotcha on the gimmick. I know I can push ideas beyond what is worth doing but I am a dreamer.
Changing my opinion about the walrus at start. Playing a new game without those early upgrades the walrus gives your Heavy Transport (scutum, eagle and veil) is kind of brutal. I forgot about the star rover no shield regeneration "feature" and I am having a real tough time now surviving, more so than is fun.
Angorian Frigate that is buyable at the maintenance station is missing it's template. Scanning process aborted: Unknown source
Also, I know I've reported it in the past but the Hephestus asteroid monitors still drop unknown Major caliber turrets

And speaking of old bugs I cannot find Bryna & Kt at any maintenance station again. When I first started the game and docked at the station in Corino they were there but I did not have the cash to hire them. I have since been to a dozen maintenance stations and they cannot be found anywhere. So I flew back to Corino and they are no longer there. All the stations I visited have the option to teach them new perks, suck a pilot skill etc.
