I'd like to have a "random" selection button. Usually instead of paper-rock-scissors, I like to have all random battles. Additionally, I don't think the "arena" surrounded by asteroids works well., Even if the weird edge effects are improved, I'd prefer a torus like the original star control (though sometimes fighting in an asteroid field or other scenario such as nebula would be cool too).
First, to clarify, I don’t want shields to be “rechargeable” in battle or even between battles for the campaign (except at starbases for a high cost in energy). Of course, there could be special exceptions, but in general, the shields would work like a “health bar” that allows some interesting possibilities. Plus, there’s the fact that it’s a little unusual for shields to work like this, so it may be a fun concept. <p class="Mso
Hello, I’d like to propose the use of “shields” as the main damage mechanism in Star Control instead of “crew”.

Firstly, it doesn’t make sense for a ship to remain fully combat effective while direct damage to the hull kills crew in a linear manner. Shields would allow this problem to be r
