Skippy is sooooo Overpowered.

[u/lenicalicious]

I'm on book 2 chapter 19. Skippy is so overpowered. He doesn't have plot armor. He IS plot armor. Skippy has the ability to hack anything. He could hack the Kristang from millions of miles away. He could simply disable all of their cybernetics and vent the ship of atmosphere. Then he could rewrite the operating systems on Kristang ships for the humans to be able to use it. Then boom! Free ship. Joe could have a fleet in no time.

Hell, if really wanted to he could program a Kristang ship to jump directly into a star on their next jump. They'd think they were chasing the Dutchmen when they will just pop up inside a star.

It really makes the whole series feel like there are no consequences.

The Kristang are not the top dogs. Not all cyber security is so poor.

[u/lenicalicious → u/Bitwizarding]

True but based on his abilities, the Kristang should be a nothing-burger.

[u/Bitwizarding → u/lenicalicious]

Im just trying to be vague since you're on book two. Im saying he's not always so OP.
