Planetary grid misuse/inconsistencies
On Ayayeh and on “the world” in The Faith of Beast the planetary grid seems misused or inconsistent in power scaling. On Ayayeh, many carryx are lost, however, with the planetary grid why not simply dry lightning every creature that gets within 100 meters of a Carryx. Why risk a single Carryx with an all seeing all knowing super weapon near orbit.
Also, humans are hiding out on the world and make contact with Jessyn. How were they able to hide at all? On Anjiin every single human was identified and known and killable even ones deep inside bunkers due to the grid half mind combo. Yet, a ragtag group of humans was able to evade detection in caves on “the world”?
I don’t really like the planetary grid/half mind combo as a story telling mechanism. It’s a cool concept but being able to instantly wipe out even the deathless enemy and have all seeing surveillance as well means many of the plot points shouldn’t be possible.
