Hello! Design has done some updates to they would like tested under special circumstances to get specific feedback. Changes include: Instability no longer affects laser power Instability will instead impact transfer rate Instability now scales with rock size Laser power has an impact on instability, with higher laser power causing higher instability. Rock type now correlates to the presence of specific element meaning there are two drivers to looking for specific resource: the location within the galaxy for base resources and the rock type (ex. C-type) for the available common elements To better understand the effects of the stability changes, instability values have been increased by a factor of 100 to really test your ability to cope and counter the mechanic. For stability, we are specifically looking for feedback on: How punishing to do you find the updated mechanic relative to the prior one? How predictable do you find instability? Are you able to counter instability and if so, how? Is stability generally better or worse than before? Give it a try and let us know how it goes. Be sure to comment on the instability topics above if you develop a good feel for the update. As always, thanks for your input! -Baior Player Experience Team
