....And it worked. But damn, what a hassle.

If you escape from a battle, you can't "invincible" through them. It repositions you far away from the ships and gives you no invincibility.

As for killing Kohr-Ah, well, I've gotten rid of ALL my storage bays and I now make all my income from fighting. Only need it for fuel and crew, though, 'cause my ship is perfect I believe.
