yv0751, some observations and suggestions after playing 0.9v:
1. a) Really enjoyed the changes to the Bot interface and the overall experience. My only major suggestion would be to either make Gen 3 unique shell drops more common, let Nimhe craft new ones in addition to type-J as they are found, or make them purely cosmetic with their own slot. My reasoning is that Gen 3 are the bots most players probably transfer, and Gen 1 and 2 shells considerably reduce the value of Gen 3 bots. They are also, at least for me, the bots I would want to differentiate and make special.
b) More unique shell types would be nice, if not taxing on time and effort. Although, I would rather have more features or content if conflicts with this.
2. Imbalance with crew duties: I found Nimhe and Khelara's abilities quite useful vs. T'Ris and Vee's; as I don't know what use refilling pods has with the new changes; diagnostics is only useful when manually doing repairs; and I found surveying not particularly lucrative or interesting, especially towards the end of my run. Minor note, but I should mention that I found Khelara's torpedo loading not that useful, as I load manually, but this might not be the case with players who enjoy automation, as I do with repair.
3. Loved the addition of cloaking to combat. Also, I thought the character design for Verity was great; really hope to see more of her.
Anyways, I just wanted to say I really enjoy playing your game and that perhaps you might consider some of the things I mentioned as development progresses.
