There's not much thought put into it or thought required of it. Don't even need to bother upgrading since an Ova'Lek with missile turrets is more than enough to deal with anything currently in the game. Though, honestly, the only turn-based capital ship combat systems that I can remember being memorably solid for games in general were Infinite Space's and Star Trader's.
Reading through some of the characters who've been added since I last played (pre-java conversion), one of the cringiest trends I'm seeing from the more tvtrope-brained writers is trying too hard to ~subvert~ the standard approach scene rather than just...writing something more original.
Worst example I've seen is the albino ovir on Tarkus. That's clearly what the author was going for, but rather than engaging the player in any way they just write Steele like an oblivious sex pest dork and their character as unapproachable. Nothing in the first scene would make you as a player want to engage her again other than sheer stubbornness. The intention was clearly "wow, she's so different!" but what's actually on the page is "wow, no attempt was made to quickly present this character's appeal and talking to her again would make me feel like I'm working on a sexual harassment lawsuit!".
The Tarkus dinosaur guy is a successful execution of a prickly character. Unique intro, slightly grating, but doesn't completely shut down the possibility of future interactions and warming him up slowly avoids the standard 'hi, let's fuck' scenario without obnoxiously calling attention to it. Then once you start to melt him he's p. darn cute.
Praise to the cowgirl scientist, too. Clearly this was a huge effort on the author's part and, along with generally hitting the marks, goes above and beyond most of the writing in the game by endearing her step by step and in a variety of ways. As simple as that sounds it's far less common than you'd think. With most of them the writer only envisions one or -maybe- two ways that the character can be seen and will twist things to make you feel what you're 'supposed' to feel. If you're meant to feel sorry for them then the writing will insist upon it with an overwrought woe-is-me tone and scenario; if they're just fetish gimmick characters they'll smack you in the face with that and you're expected to either love it or walk away. With these talk scenes you get a variety of tones that aren't overly melodramatic or focused on a single issue to coerce you into feeling one particular way about her; they feel like actual organic getting-to-know-you conversations rather than backstory interrogations or hackneyed scenes to tug on your sympathies and/or loins. Being presented as a fairly normal person with good quality writing like this actually makes her stand out among a sea of shallow over-the-top-and-in-your-face gimmicks.
Now I wish she was the scientist crew member rather than the old giant shark lady; never really found her engaging or attractive.

I generally agree with your comment, just few things I would like to add
Tavros isn't one of them because it's more of... don't know how to put this, civilized and chill place? It actually tries looking like a little space station town instead of a fuckfest i guess? Hell, New Texas for being the "fuckfest town" of the game does have some fun ammount of depth to it to a planet of sex addicts.
Gonna play Devil's Advocate and defend that scene, Steele *is* a sex pest let's be honest, a trust fund child who like their father fucks anything with a pulse that can consent, and so Steele does bother before taking the hint when she pulls out a gun, but i agree could had been done better.
Chaurmine, it will never not be funny how no matter how affectionate you are with him, Steele still calls him "that lonely fucker" in their mind, and yeah he is pretty cute, some other instances:

I feel like this is a thing that has slowly being decreased on TITs ngl at least compared with COC2 which I admitedly haven't played much but felt "this is x fetish, fuck it" yeah there are some instances but I'd argue it's not that bad on TITS, of course that also depends on the planet we are talking about. (I think Myrellion can be pretty bad on this regard I suppose)

Is there any need to download the imagepack anymore (aside from higher resolution)? It seems like all the images are built into the engine now.
Steele is as much of a sex pest as you make him... Is what I'd like to say, ideally... Sometimes, I do find I have to reload a save to make sure my Steele doesn't act like a deviant, though... But, I want to say, that it's mostly up to the player... Though, often you'll have to go between the two extremes. You either interact like a deviant with certain characters or refrain from mostly any interaction in order to not act like a deviant... *sigh*

Are sand worms one of those enemies where the strategy is 'be a smuggler; don't not be a smuggler'?
With any other class they stun lock me until I die.

you need to wait until they open up for attack. I'm pretty sure there's highlighted text indicating that
Yup, the text has had that hint since they were launched but most people just click through every fight which, to be fair, is warranted considering how trivial pretty much most encounters are.

Adjatha character that actually looks fuckable?
Outside of balls (granted, it's a Taur and iirc docs did say they were big), looks pretty good! Props to him.

Wow this piece of art looks really nice and reminds me of the artist's older works which I really liked.
upper half actually looks pretty good and seems well-proportioned. hopefully he keeps it up
edit: they don't actually have her bust in the game lmao
