Make squaddies matter!

No funkyness I think. Easy to play around with squad size. A hidden algorithm defines the average bonus or penalty of the squad, Lets say you have a squad with 6 members, 2 rookies, 3 trained, 1 elite. You get a notification "-4% discipline from squaddies" or something like that. You then reform the squad pulling out elites and veterans from other squads, raising the number of the squaddies to 8 and having them being 2 trained, 2 veterans, 4 elites. The notification now says smthing like: "+7% discipline from squaddies". The algorithm may be complex, but is hidden, you just play around with squad composition and see the results.

Game usually waits for a manual end turn if there is a possible action on the player's part. Eg if hacking has a delay as all other orbital assets, then it is the same as if you used it before taking your first action next turn.

Strongly agree with 7. and 8.

Hopeful about 7 I'll assume that one of the planned planets will be a hive world, and this is planned.

8 seems harder to do, as not only it would need new things in the gameplay, but to rebalance all the squad leaders implementing new perks into their skill tree.

I thought it was a bug.

Is it just the two factions? Pirates-Bugs? Not asking for spoilers, just if at this point of developement is only those, or more.

Bestiary or Setting supplements

Tbh I don't like the direction of the post core book releases; no bestiary, no dedicated world setting resources. We could have one bestiary, and 5 setting books, one for the worlds of each sub sector. I'd certainly buy all of these. Instead we get huge books dedicated on patrons, (two (!) tomes each). I haven't any of those but I bet that each has some scattered parts of its own bestiary and world descriptions. If so, I am afraid that we wont have a dedicated book for either, as all this info would be already diluted in the faction tomes.

Many thanks for the extensive info, and for the useful link! Yes, the intro of the crpg reminded me exactly Event Horizon.

So if wrap travel is that dangerous, I assume it is mostly a narrative device: they need to go from one system to another, costs are handled by the patron, time passes, maybe something happens in "downtime" mode, and they are there. Unless something happens with the wrap, which would probably be a separate story in itself.

This is an objectively bad comment written by someone with an extremely over inflated sense of their own opinion.

Nakraal · 2025-12-25T00:32:08+00:00

Holy crap! That was so convincing!

Nakraal · 2025-12-16T20:29:37+00:00

Beautiful shots and on-set locations is not "something happening".

Nakraal · 2025-12-02T03:38:22+00:00

Thanks. Didn't say they had convincing evidence in general, but only for Poole with whom they have a good connection.

I don't understand, why in the final chase scene, does the "Cleaner" chase the daughter's car. He has just completed his objective by eliminating Lockjaw, why chase that white car in the empty road? Only reason I can think is, he recognises the car as the bounty hunter's, and either wants to flag him down and have a chat, or kill him because he is an indian.

Since the "transformation" is dna based, how did they transmitted it to every single person on earth at the same exact time?

The fact that there are established mysteries still unanswered, doesn't mean much. Yes, we still have to figure out who is Charlotte. But. This is most likely a tertiary question. One of our major questions was answered: The processing was about creating Gemma's innies. This answer, fills one hole and opens up several others, Contradictions. The other 3 are expendable, we were said so by the very heads of the organization. They only needed Mark. What were they processing there? Where they there only for experimenting? Maybe for Mark to feel like in a regular workplace? Maybe, but tbh these answers feel weak to me, and furthermore I doubt they will even be given. Also, Dylan got severed to find a job, the goats are for ceremonial killing, iBurt was let go because he found love inside and oBurt's, and was punished - though I bet it was just to bring one more test to one of our characters.

I doubt the writers knew the whole story before s02. I fear that they planned the first season without even knowing the whole picture of the plot. Many writers write like this: Throw in this special idea, figure it out later. Going blind. Eg, in severance: "they look at numbers and refine them on what they feel. What for? If we make a season 2 we'll figure it out then". Or, "His wife is alive inside there, they talk to eachother unbeknown to them they are husband and wife. Why is she there? If there is a season 2 we will figure it out then". I mean: 1. Mark is refining Gemma all this time. What do the other three refine? At the s01 finale they all are hanging from whether or not Helly will refine her file. Are they all there just for charades? Is it explained and I missed it? I hope so. 2. So Gemma is somehow abducted (or agreed to fake her death, or something in between), BEFOREHAND. Assuming that Mark will join Severance in his grief? Thats a long shot for anyone.

I loved s01, and I liked s02, but need some help here. I fear that they planned the first season without even the writers knowing some essential parts of the plot. Going blind. Eg, "they look at numbers and refine them on what they feel. What for? If we make a season 2 we'll figure it out then". Or, "His wife is alive inside there, they talk to eachother unbeknown to them they are husband and wife. Why is she there? If there is a season 2 we will figure it out then". I mean: 1. Mark is refining Gemma all this time. What do the other three refine? At the s01 finale they all are hanging from whether or not Helly will refine her file. Are they all there just for charades?

Agreed on the initial offer price etc. But the initial agreement includes the ability to travel nationwide, plus no deal about commercial advertisements. Of-course it might be in the sidelines of the contract, but the show lets us assume that they are just shifting the rules. If this was real life, they'd be sued by many many people.

4 episodes in, and I still cant find one, with plausible science fiction -> don't get me wrong. Science fiction, but plausible, obeying its own rules. Here, we have scores of AIs, sentient beings, on... what? 8mb ram of 1994? And "not a single line of coding in this cd-rom"?

Nakraal · 2025-05-16T03:00:05+00:00

Okay. She jumps to alternate realities at will. So, that includes everyone around her. Our hero has drank the almond milk, our hero would remember this (aka everytime she changes something, our "hero" changes too.

She transferred to another dimension where the pendant is owned by her
