i don't mind to see some damage in mines and radiation and explosive gas, but just remind that not all ships have big shields, Omega 41 is a good example, big ships no problem small shields not a such "no problem" ride.
that maze stuff remind me of Omicron 74, that we had to follow some a path to reach a certain base, that i don't rememberwhat was ... i don't know if it was Corinth!
