Why are there no good games where you can build comfy small ships with detailed interiors you can walk around/sleep/live in and fly them to explore remote planets with interesting biomes and shit?

Because that's a lot of fucking work. I was hoping Elite Dangerous would turn out that way but they seem committed to increasing tedium at any cost, as though they think it's what makes a game good or realistic.

Waiting patiently for Thrawn's Revenge 2.2 release.

Just picked up Strike Suit Zero, got a little pissed off at the third mission since apparently shit just keeps on going while you're locked into cutscenes and it caused me to fail the optional objective to destroy all torpedos since two collided into the carrier while I was locked into watching the cutscene of ships warping in. I also then got hit by a missile immediately when the cutscene ended which one of the frigates randomly shot at me halfway into it.

A couple of the bonus objectives requires you to skip through the cutscenes as much as possible, which is kind of annoying when you want to know whats actually going on.

Because Re-Logic is still not willing to buy the rights to Starbound, instead allowing for it to remain in the hands of incompetent devs.

Tried that the second time, still didn't get it somehow even though I'm pretty certain I shot down every torpedo. I also don't know how I could possibly be doing any better in the fights or killing shit any faster because I'm only getting bronze medals but I'm wiping out every wave of fighters within seconds of them warping in and nuking the corvettes to death even faster.

-Watch out for the corvettes since they launch at least one volley of torps before turning tail.

-I think the frigates spit out torps every 20 ~ 30 seconds…. so once you know how often the torps come out you can devote some time to killing off turrets on the frigates (which are actually worth a fair share of points) in between volleys. I usually park myself ahead of the frigate and kill the torps with strike mode cannon fire as they spawn.

-The frigates will keep firing torps even when the reinforcement shows up, and there's no guarantee friendly AA will handle them.

-Wreckage is worth points (not a whole lot), but you should try to knock some out.

I finally got it on like the third or fourth try by just saving up energy and parking myself in front of the Aurora in robot mode and spamming closest target with targeting set to prioritize torpedos. Lowest score I got in any of the attempts but I finally got that fucking shield upgrade so I can finally move on to mission 4. I really hope the rest of the side objectives will be less of a pain in the ass because that was a huge pain in the ass for the second fucking level to have one and if that level of shit continues I'm more likely to just stop playing entirely rather than continue playing without going for the upgrades.
