Any high-threat saves around?

I love how people plan their in-game strategy based on the patch notes for the next beta 

I so want to add a line to the tutorial saying something like "Now be careful while capturing this ARS, the developer is going to nerf your most effective strategy in the middle."

What's happening to ARSes?

I like your style!

That one slipped right past the profanity committee.

Ominous comments lead to player panic. As a result, 2/3 of the galaxy's ARS units are destroyed by infighting amongst player factions. Film at 11

So hunter killers are being implimented to break up the huge threat ratings? Just wondering as I just finished a game where I had over 20k threat at the end. Might have had something to do with the fallen spire arc, as I was never attacked by a special wave the entire game. The ai ships just roamed on thier planets. Good thing for me I guess.

The ultra-high threat thing was actually a longstanding bug brought into sharper relief recently.  It was the cause of CPA-mishaps back to 3.120 and before, and more recently combined with some newer logic to bring us massive-threat saves.

But, yes, hunter-killers are being implemented to compact that sort of thing a bit more.
