I wasn't at all ready for this!
Really though, that's crazy localization there, and pretty insulting. That really does give a weird flavor to that game, which I gotta give credit to, uses enemy attacks OTHER than the standard "bullets everywhere" every now and then.
I always found it funny that those types of games always cram in a glass canon. It is odd how you've got this state of the art super-ship, except in reality it's just a fly that can be swatted out of the air in one hit that has to collect other weapons just to get powerful enough to kill things decently.
It's kinda like how the manuals and story of Starcraft go into detail on how amazingly advanced your marines are, except they are really just pathetic cannon fodder you'll never really care about.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
