There was a quirk in wave 2 of the last round I ran through, and I have a feeling this might be a balance issue. The wave started, and only microseconds later we're immobilized after getting greeted by the bisuness-end of an asteroid. The level started, the red-alert barely had time to react, and the ship crashed. I played quite a few rounds earlier and have had this happen. A few close calls, but I normally have good reaction and can either hyperjump or take care of them right away, whereas this last issue seems like a legitimate imbalance.
Thanks!
