I'm guessing no coffee out the nose? (come on red rocket!) Maybe like the R-4 and targeting? Target opponent is disrupted until the end of the round.

I'm almost on board with anything that hurts non uniques

Not sure about Lou, but I know why I hate those abilities. It just adds way more luck to the game. Same with save 16 or 15 or whatever.

It is very much easier (and much more standard) to figure out the probabilities to shoot through evade for instance if it is save 11. Much, much more varied with the save 7.

For instance if I shoot at you with Twin (30 damage shooter), on a save 11, you should take 1 hit (assuming I hit both attacks), so I can predict that you will take 30 damage (sometimes none, sometimes 60) but mathematically an average of 30 damage (again taking out attack rolls). More importantly, the expected value is actually 45 damage taken

Now if it is save 7 instead, the math changes a ton. 49% of the time, you are going to avoid both shots, 9% you are going to take both shots, leaving 42% of the time that one hits and one is evaded, but the expected damage is way different. Now half the time you don't take any damage, and you almost never take full damage. This takes the expected damage you take down to 30.6 damage. But more importantly, the variance is drastically different, so it introduces a lot more luck in the game.

A little to many now on some factions. This applies though to many different abilities, too many auto damage to many re-spawns, to many etc. etc.

However a game that's had as many expansions as this game be it official or vsets this was always going to be the case. Is it a case of just to much? Well I would still say no because I still enjoy the game and to much would impact on my enjoyment to such a degree that I would just finish playing. Still it should be something that future vsets should bare in mind as they go forward.
