yeah, these are the only things i hate from SE, the bad things that the player can't do anything against, the robots crash randomly and the player can't do nothing to prevent it, you can TRY to destroy the meteors but the weapons used for it don't even have 100% accuracy, you can only increase the chance to destroy all incoming meteors, but never to 100%, i also think the coronal mass is completly unnecesary, it feels like a feature creep or its just bad implemented, yeah you can defend against coronal masses and never worry about it... if you manage to produce 500GW of energy that is
in conclusion: Meteors, coronal mass and robot crashes are crappy features
