There are different shields though, the item data lists a basic and advanced shield, which have different sprites.

I find getting past 2nd tier is kind of silly.

It is essentially like that Spongebob episode where he makes a perfect circle by erasing the details off of a realistic drawing of someone's face he did himself.

Is there a server most of the people play on? Does anyone mind giving the IP?

So I raided my first dungeon. Luckily, it was an Avian tomb, and I was an Avian named Sunfeet. I really liked having the first-hand knowledge of what the masks on the walls meant, and the gongs, etc. It had a pretty cool atmosphere. Granted, the AI is a bit thick right now, so the guards shuffled toward me in single file, saying "You killed [bird name]!" before getting chopped themselves.
For loot I got several stim packs of various colors, some silver bars and gold ore, bones, books, meat (yum), and an absolute buttload of crappy weapons (That is actually what the game classified them as). I'm now planning on taking the bricks and various statues, and converting my house into an Avian temple kinda thing.

Shields have different block values based on the level you find them at. I found one in a USCM base that had better blocking than the one I was using. Old one I still took 5 damage, new one is a complete block.

Really? I've had the same shield for awhile now and the level of the enemy determines how much damage I take. Another AP scaling thing?

I found a piece of USMC lore, too. Can't remember the exact writing, but it was basically a retreat order, ordering all remaining human military bases to be on high alert.

USCM.

Found some Avian lore. "The Kluex Delusion" by Rochard Hawking.

I laughed.

[Kaitol]

I started on a planet with two USCM bases. Found about four lore. One where some guy talked about wanting to go topside and his CO bitching him out for saying he saw a bird person and a plant person talking to each other and telling him to go to the shrink. And another saying they were opening all USCM bases to the local populous' because the aliens kept thinking they were shops. Also pondered the possibility of alien recruits.

Other two were previously stated.

I like that they're fleshing out the races this way, it's neat!

...
Can this analogy actually be explained?

[Girlinhat]

I'll take a swing at "a lot more contrived than it needs to be"

[Max White]

Ah... Yea.
Also Burrhus Skinner would be turning in his grave at the sheer amount of pixels all these things cost! If you can't make combat fun enough that we would opt into it, the solution isn't to force it on us with this grinding...

[Flying Dice]

Wait, are you talking about armor/weapons or printing stuff from the 3D printer? Because in the case of the former I don't think I ever had to grind pixels; one full surface exploration or surface->hell dig usually nets at a bare minimum a few thousand, assuming you don't die repeatedly. By top tier, I easily make 5k pixels just circumnavigating an X-sector world.

[Max White]

The game in general.
A cost to scan is the high of forcing people to part with their money just to make them grind more.
