Hi guys,
Love the game so far. (61 hours speaks for itself and I'm not a gamer)
I'm also a dev and know how important bug reports can be, so here is a thing I found right now:
As far as I noticed, If you get an augment that you already have you get scrap instead but I bought a scrap recovery arm and looted one and now I've come to this.
Occured on easy with a Rock B - Sector 3 Pirated Controlled
Cheers

It's a feature, not a bug. Some augments can be stacked. Others cannot.

Now this raises the question if you've got two Reverse Ion Field augmentations, will the third be scrapped automatically if you find it?

Nope. They're stackable. Even if 150% is just as good as 100%

That's inconsistent then, because two Pre-igniters work just as well as one.

But a second Pre-igniter gets scrapped.
It's in the code actually:
It's a simple "true or false" tag. Doesn't matter if it leads up to 100% or not.

Yeah I know how it works, but it's still not consistent.
This must lead to a global recall of the game, and I demand a full refund of my (10 or so) copies!

And a public apology by the developers.

And a stern word to all programmers to add more variables in a true/false flag. I mean we can't stick with just those two traditional true/false roles. What if the fact was mostly true or a falsehood that had elements of truth?

Damn right - a mandatory reading of 50 shades of grey seems appropriate. Maybe some flogging.
