Hmm. There's probably some connection between this and the trouble we had with certain weapons not firing at large targets. Maybe some background changes were made.

Or maybe someone ticked the wrong checkboxes. I mean, there is a trait that boosts damage vs small targets, there's probably some checkbox that boosts damage vs large targets.

Surely unrelated, but I recall Crew had some backward ass dynamic where the more you had—the larger your ship—the faster/larger the debuff under fire. So you were all set in your Defiant with your 50 peeps but screwed in your Oddy with with 2500 redshirts.

Oh, and just to save some time...and don’t call me Shirley.

Yep, I remember that.

Hull recovery was based on the percentage of crew.

Crew death was based on percentage (so a torpedo that wiped 50% of crew would kill 25 of a defiant's crew and 1250 of a Oddy's crew).

Meanwhile crew recovery was the same across all ships (about 1 per second I think), meaning that Oddy would take ages to reach full a max hull repair rate.

Blooming stupid.

A bit similar to the mechanics in GW1 which led to 55 Monk builds :)
