Well, I will clarify with what I have problems. At the very beginning of the game, I can not kill most ships "forehead", so I have to dodge tactics. But it is not always possible to destroy all the ships purely physically at the first level of difficulty in the beginning, because they regenerate the shield more quickly than you do damage. Because of this, you have to leave with not completely cleaned sectors. So far, everything rests on money. Further, when you learned to destroy all ships on the first level and the periodically appearing ships of the second, you go to the second level because of a lack of fuel. The only way out is to leave the ship the same, and again farm the small levels so that when you move to the second level, you are immediately "strong." And so every time, you sooner or later face the problem of fuel, and your exits - to ease the ship a little, and go to clear light levels, farm money, or go on to kill every second ship, but you got enough fuel. If you increase fuel from each enemy at least 15-20 percent, then when you move to the next levels, you will be more prepared, and it will be easier for you to kill ships. It practically does not affect the level of skill, as the reward and repair will not change, but will reduce the need for a special grind at low levels, which gets very boring, and because of this the game becomes boring. Therefore, I believe that you need to increase the amount of fuel at maximum complexity.
I would also like to say about the "Skat", I do not know how to reduce the number of reactors near the shields, since I already think 6 reactors for 14 shields with a small number. As for the reactors in the beginning, I can drop you the original version of the ship, worth exactly 1,000,000, but with weakened engines. And besides I would like to ask what you did not like these ships, what is wrong with them?
