Guys, this thing would be better discussed in SMM's thread. Thanks.

Re: FTL Captain's Edition 1.23/Inf 1.23/EL 1.23
Hey all,
Don't know if this is a bug or not but seems to be one.
And I'd rather not tell you about it cause it ended up being a small positive on my end
But seriously though.
Used the Ion field combat augment on the flagship and it didn't take away the 3 power it usually does whilst still taking away a layer of shields. In case you were wondering, yes it happened on all 3 stages with the same result. I can provide pics if needed but I think it's pretty obvious what I mean.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Will be fixed in the next update.
R&D news
Auto sector is done but still needs some testing. Time to work in all these bug reports I guess...

I really like the auto construction stuff. I feel like it helps explain how the rebellion managed to be so successful. I personally hold to the the whole "military coup" theory: after a war with aliens, likely with the mantis, a ton of the military elite refused to accept the cease fire on grounds of wanting to kill aliens. The construction drones explain where all their infrastructure comes from: allies in the construction companies used their resources and re-purposed building droned into killing drones.

then I'll hurry up with small report supplement, I guess

Bugs
1. There is event in the last stand, where we're able to help Fed settlement, that gets bombarded by rebel cruiser. After smashing the latter, settlement tell us about newly build repair station, that can help us with repairs and resources. Hoever, no such additional repair station appears on map. I guess the same event can be experienced in Fed sector, and probably, it works OK there? (Severity: Minor)
2. This outcome of talking with Engi is obsolete (especially, that other outcome says about the same system being widely available around galactic):
http://s14.postimg.org/yrsxfbey9/depreciated.jpg
(Severity: Cosmetic)
BTW, in this one instance, the event *made* sense - this engi was an "ancient" one, recovered from a crash site on the four-legged horse's planet. It was OK, that he had a "little" outdated informations

Suggestions:
1. In the event with science station that caught lab fire, we're able to send various things - drones, Rockman, etc. AI think that Lanius should give blue option too, because they're extremely good at putting down big fires (by just draining oxygen from said room). In most cases, they put down fires much faster than rocks.
2. There is this event with Fed station that is seemingly empty of lifeforms - if we board it, we find corpses of Fed personnel. One of the presumably dead staff moves a little, and it's found that he is, miraculously, still alive. We can perform first aid to no avail, or, presumably, use advanced medbay. Hoever, cloning doesn't offer anything here.
It think it is just an overlook, especially, that in seemingly identical situation (recent battlefield in nebula, the one that can give ABADOTH quest), we can use clone bay to recover mortally wounded person (after collecting samples and letting previous "host" die - creepy stuff).
3. I'm not entirely sure if this weapon/drones mix is OK for sector one:
http://s14.postimg.org/7703o1xf5/def2.jpg
Note the super-advanced defense drone, that shots down everything, and charges in just 3 seconds, or so... OK, bombs could try to screw him (albeit with rather low chance of success, with 2 engis repairing drone control), for ships that starts with one... But still, the pernach and laser combo still takes you out, while you desperately fight to keep drone disabled, no matter what you're flying. Even the boarding ships would have biig trouble here (remember, sector one).
OTOH, I wouldn't have anything against him in sector 2, as since then, you should be able to at least run from him. Which isn't bad, from time to time

---
Had another success on CE Hard:
http://s14.postimg.org/thnyo0upd/lanius.jpg
This run was quite special, as I've, also, managed to get the "scrap hoarder" achievement - which is no small deal on CE Hard, as keeping 600 scrap in holds (collecting from late sector 6, through sector 7) makes your ship being really behind schedule with upgrades. I wasn't even sure if this achiev is possible in CE hard outside of IF, but teleport + laniuses + hacking medbay proved that it wasn't even such a big deal to get through, and even win at the same run.
BTW, again I've bought backup DNA bank (considering heavy reliance on boarding Laniuses), and again, it was never used in practice. Well, I guess, that I was more relaxed having it, at least

End result - 3th place on my highest scores, but really great sense of achievement, not to mention that it unclocked me a Lanius B, finally (no loss of cabin pressure achiev., as I've forget to vent air out on beacon one - so, scrap hoarder was my only chance this run. Had "Advanced Mastery" earlier.)
Cheers,

Can you include an updated version of Detailed Crew Portrait Graphics?

Sounds like a feature to me
