  1. The Core Pulse ability serves as a defensive "get-off-me" tool. By applying immediate Freeze Stacks and a brief blindness effect, the Stalker forces teams to scatter, playing directly into its preference for isolated targets.

    Do you prefer enemies that force repositioning, or enemies that tank through the line?

    "And he felt the Earth to his spine and he asked.
    And he saw the tree above him
    And the stars
    And the veins in the leaf
    And the light
    And the balance
    And he saw magnificent perfection.
    Whereon he thought of himself in balance
    And he knew he was."

    - The Moody Blues, A Question of Balance (part of their seminal discourse on tactical simulation and proto-roleplaying games in the early 1970s)

  3. We've been working on a Notion based ship designer, and it is shaping up nicely. Previously we were using a spreadsheet, but with equipment slots, that would not work.

    The designer can calculate a lot of data including deltaVs, and will be a useful tool for balance. It even includes a price calculator!
