- 15 minutes is probably too early.
- Unlike the Y drone this thing will do a whole bunch of station damage and require crew attention on top of any other antagonists. This is unique for something that isn't a conventional event. Maybe it could be changed into arriving during a major event slot after the signaller is used instead? I know that raises a bunch of questions about when it would actually turn up and shuttle calls but this seems like a big deal to turn up during regular play.
- The crafting requirements seem too easy compared to something like the Y Drone. I think these will need to be a lot harder.
- The loot is going to give the crew a bit of a headache over who gets to keep it.
1) Perhaps. I can bump it up to, say, 20? 30 even? Dunno.
2) I'd rather not use up event slots. If something else happens during the fight, well, what can I say except "I call this a difficulty tweak!"
3) Yeah, I know. Other people have been saying this as well. For one, I'm replacing the Metal Sheet part of the recipe with a Circuit Board. That would make more sense imo. If I bump the timegate up to 20 or 30 minutes, should I even bother making the recipe harder?
4) Kinda true, but the reward of not dying is pretty lucrative in such a murder-prone environment, so I'm sure most would get by with just surviving. And if the rewards won't cut it, maybe someone'll code something else in as a bonus, who knows?
EDIT: I have bumped the timegate to 30 minutes, and added a crafting step requiring a Secure Data Circuit Board. The latter should make the remote harder to craft, theoretically.
