Was there really criticism of Harimau or is that just in-game story? I really liked the ship.
Edit: On the disruption bolt, I think the reverse controls would have been fine if that was always the effect and you had a clear countdown as to when it would end - that way you could counter it and, yes, it would be fun. As it was, there were several random effects to the bolt and the only way you could know if it was the reverse controls one was when your ship ploughed into a wall. And the only way you could know it had worn off was when your ship ploughed into another wall. It was the unknown that was the problem there.
