Minor Captain's space suit now slows you down

[Noah Buttes]

Alright enough of the quote pyramid. There is one thing I have to say here. Just a little bit of game design philosophy from someone who has never developed a game: Any change you make to a game should exist to make the game more fun. That is all.

Course, you also have everyone's personal definitions of fun to work with. One person's grueling slog through getting your butt kicked is another person's fun. Whereas I find restrictions and and hindrances a fun obstacle to work around, others find it an undue obstruction to the flow of the game.

Restrictions and hindrances are all fine and dandy in their proper places.
