My friend and I just got hit by a malfunction that spawned 4 bosses and drove us into hiding by sending us to "a previous planet". Pretty standard. After a couple jumps we got out, cleared the horde, lured the bosses away and started rebuilding. Instantly we got another malfunction. And another.
Then we got a normal planet. Phew, finally. With nothing in terms of defenses, we jumped out pretty soon.
Then we got send to that planet again. We barely survived. Then stuck in space. Stuck in space again.
And finally back to a lvl13 planet to die.
Is this somehow scripted to be chained together? I like the malfunctions in general to spice things up, even surviving one that totally wrecks the upper platform can be cool, but having to play 1.5hrs of malfunctions only to die to yet another one seems pretty lame.
