😆 Fair. In this case, it was more just meant to as an in-universe way of describing it getting free upgrade points.

You are not the only one. @marcodejough.bsky.social said, "It looks almost like a creepy idol you’d find in an Indiana Jones movie "

You're fine, like I said I like some good techno-babble. Doubly so if it is at least vaguely grounded (derived perhaps?) in some actual science.

I do like some good techno-babble. Gravitational Wave Turbines (although they are not very turbine like)! Maybe Cosmic String Spoolers? Hmm. Wasn't there a paper on Glueballs recently? I could be cutting edge and call them Gluon Absorption Panels 😁.

Yeeeeaaaah 😳 . It might even be worse than that. At the time I think the thought process might have been, "well we are never making any more arks so what does it matter."

I am not sure what you mean by double layered shield, so my guess would be no they are not intended 😅.

The shield on the boss only really works on said bosses, I suppose I could probably adapt it to other enemies, but it would not be a drop in and it works kind of implementation.
