Let alone I had a major fire on my ship that killed like 4 of my 6 crewmen, and then the last two died because the air scrubbers were burned in the fire.
I'm not going to lie - this makes it sound better to me. Too many games are afraid of making bad things have major consequences to your success. It's usually "I'll hit the repair button and things are back to normal". I liked FTL because small things on your ship could really spiral out of control, and an one enemy that boarded your ship and you couldn't find quickly could really mess up your systems. It felt more "real" to me?

However if they said you could choose one way to play Space Haven and run with it, then your note about needing manufacturing alongside trade kinda sucks.
