That’s really the issue for me. Too many doors is frustrating when you are running and grinding, performing an unnatural sequence of actions over and over and want to do so mindlessly. Doorways are however, defensive positions and necessary in case of depressurization. So one needs to count the cost of realism. People sprint constantly in games, not IRL.
These arguments against the MSR seem to be grind based. I’m more concerned about the range. It ought to have stunning range. Need to see what they did about that.
On the PCs hiding complaint, this is true of any ship this size, so check your comms, and keep an R97 on the bridge. All interior shots are close so that weapon rules in that role. 2 shots max to kill and only 1-2 targets means you never need to reload, and the spread is instantly debilitating and lethal to 15 meters.
