Changed environmental resistance of VF-series spacecraft: VF-56: Frozen, Massive;
VF-66: Frozen, Massive, Hot, Lightning; VF-76: Frozen, Massive, Hot, Lightning, Darkness (@OneWingLunarian Idea)

Got it. These re-arranged features ensure that the better VF spacecraft gain resistance to more extreme conditions:

• Frozen: Slowdown but prevent overheat
• Massive: Only slowdown
• Hot: Faster overheat
• Lightning: More obstacles to dodge, very annoying
• Darkness: Limited vision, extremely annoying

Let’s consider @Stardrone’s idea also:

But if environmental resistance is going to stay on Space Supremacy can I suggest to buff it into Hazard resistance ?

There are some enemies in-game that can be considered as supports: Toxic, Alchemist, Chiller and the upcoming fire chicken.
What makes these chickens stand out from all the others, is the fact that each of them doesn’t have a proper attack and possesses the ability to summon hazards on the field.

• Toxic chickens leaves a damaging zone if killed.
  A model may have the ability to survive one of them, in a similar fashon to how Raven can survive the hit from a lightning strike.
• Alchemists summons slowdown zones.
  All models could have the slowdown reduced, like how they are currently less affected by massive environments.
• Chillers attack blocks your visibility and cause a screenshake.
  Maybe all models could be immune to the screenshake.
• From what I can see from this image IA posted,

  the upcoming fire enemy’s attack won’t be able to kill the player and will leave flame particles that reduce visibility.
  Due to the not-able-to-kill nature of the attack, I can theoryze that it may also add some heat to the bar.
  Lastly, I expect them to leave an overheat zone when killed, since they are counterpart of chillers.
  I think that there are many hazards that could be resisted, for example by making their fireball attack produce less heat when being hit, or ignoring the very first overheat zone.

Hazard Resistance would greatly improve VF ships survivability, since it will add to the Environmental Resistance all those new resistances.

I suggest the buffs below to make the VF-series more useful:
+) VF-56: Resistant to frozen, massive environment and snowballs, slowdown zones (preserved speed and maneuverability)
+) VF-66: Also resistant to hot environment, fireballs and overheat zones (harden against all external heat)
+) VF-76: Also resistant to dark environment, lightnings and toxic clouds (hazardous environment) (protected from every environmental factors except mechanical attacka (can still be hitted by other projectiles like eggs, guanos, neutrons, lasers, Dr. Beaker’s blue potions…))

These buffs seem extreme, but consider the current weaknesses of the VF-series, I think it’s reasonable to make them more worthy. They’re still not that helpful in competitive missions, but they might balance the powers of each series. What do you think?
