700+ hours in this game. I play Endless difficulty with hardest pirates. Still loving it after all this time. But, hands down, my number 1 save scumming goes to crap lanes (that affect weapon firing arcs) in space battles. You can't do anything about what you are about to get. In theory, each lane (left, center, right) can fire into its own lane and the one adjacent, but that rarely happens because of the curves of the lanes and how these three lanes get placed. If there is some kind of intentional manipulation of these lanes to know how to get favorable ones for yourself and prevent them from your opponent, it is unknown to me. It appears to be random within a list of some possibilities - and besides, who out there has actually studied all the possible lane match ups and how to create them?
