Default Re: Damage type question

It is 4 marines per boarding defense point in stock SE4. But, it is a wholey arbitrary number, and IMO it would be better to list various levels of training and/or equipment with similar numbers of marines instead of just more and more of them (mods like P&N and Adamant do this).

The more specific you get, the fewer races it will make sense to work on. Synaptic Scramblers might kill organic lifeforms, but what about robotic ones? or energy ones? They don't really have synapses to scramble.
