(Sorry if I'm repeating what others have said. I browsed around and didn't see this pointed out anywhere.)
1. When dying in a mission and reloading the game, any enemies that you were facing are still there. From the old game. If you are facing e.g. 10 kilrathi in the current system, die, then try again, you're now faced with 10 + (10-killed before death). The next time you're faced with 10 + (10-killed before death) + (10-killed before death the last life), and so on.
At one point (before completely giving up) I was up against ~30 or so kilrathi. They, needless to say, blew me to smithereens.
2. At one point when I entered the game (after hitting Esc+Q from within space) I was put back IN space. There was no base nearby and I had a good amount of enemies nosing my arse. Dying, I was respawned in space. I literally could not reload a game. Eventually managed to flee like a mouse and reload a better situated game, though.
3. When fighting "the commies", I landed at the ship I am trying to protect to repair and such. When I left, I 1) got the "You don't understand!" speech again, but I also had the ones I left before landing + a whole fleet of new lads to face. Totally impossible to pull off, with my humble skills (and my lack-of-a-joystick).
#1 is by far the most annoying thing, though. If I recall correctly, the old game did something similar, but I'm not sure. I don't remember suddenly being swarmed by the same fleet cloned and recloned as I failed in the missions, though. :|
I am presuming that if I fly a few systems away, the area will be reset? That might help me deal with the currently two areas swarmed.
Great game though. Love it. Thanks.
