Okay so here goes: what if when you level up you get to pick some traits? It's can be gotten other ways but idea is that it would be non-destroyable part of your run. Currently there is only part-counts. This makes a very strange balancing (imho): all those that are quick are easier to win - you get shot less, you loose less parts that make up your "build" or strategy. If you had some way to influence that in more permanent way, maybe it would allow more gameplay choices?
Example traits:
- More integrity for X, where X is Utility/Propulsion/Weapons/Engine
- Heal some corruption
- Faster attacks (by some low %)
- Better targeting (by some low %)
So what do you all think?
