Thanks - both for the welcome and the excellent game you're creating.



After buying in mid-June, I'm at perhaps 30 educational runs (ended higher than -9 ), and still trying to find the 'right' way to upgrade for the first few levels. I've usually favored propulsion, utility/propulsion, and power/utility for the first few levels (trying to fight my way up is clearly a Bad Idea as of right now).



Also still trying to figure out the intel situation. I usually either a) don't find useful scanners or b) don't have enough utility slots when I do - storage, armor and hacking utilities all feel like higher priority to me for those slots, although perhaps my failure to make it higher than -4 should tell me otherwise. This seed actually left me feeling more comfortable with the armor/utility situation than most have, I just wonder if I could've found some way to wear that lrn. sensor if I might not have died.
