The instability of the site has a lot to do with it, i'm sure.
Beside that, Nobody and i are working on a project that, at least in my case, has left me with insufficient peace of mind to start much else in the way or roleplaying. :/

Good point. There are other security members on the ship who might've taken care of it off-screen, or it might be they haven't gotten there yet to barricade it. The flow of time isn't always linear between posts. I could edit some mention of a third group of intruders into Kwon's post.
I believe there are two, but i may have misread the colour coding on the map.
Gunnos
“Eeek!” Jeenee suddenly screamed, pointing at Shor’Gen as he emerged from a mound of foam, his carapace chipped and covered in gore. It made such a fearsome sight that even Gunnos’ heart skipped a beat when he turned around and saw it. For a brief moment, they all instinctively fumbled for their weapons, until it dawned on them that it was, in fact, their lead physician. “Gods, ye spooked us,” he said while waving at the others to lower their weapons. The foam was thinning a bit now, revealing the two invaders that Shor’gen had ambushed and disembowelled.
“Correction, six hostiles down. No others in sight, but stay on guard,” he spoke into his earpiece, before turning back to Shor’gen. “Good job, bud. The four o’ us are unscathed for now, but I think we gained two valuable pris’ners.” He looked down at the two silverclad that lay knock-out on the ground. They surely had a concussion and perhaps some broken bones, but seemed in no mortal danger at first sight. “Jeenee and Ruddus, go find somethin' to tie em up before they wake, and get em over to the brig if ye can. Greet and I will try te meet up with Daniel, just in case. Doc, once we’re out o’ danger, check the pris'ners for internal injuries. Can’t have em die on us. Oh, and be careful with yeself, ye seem quite wounded. We'd hate te lose someone like ye." With that, Gunnos and Greet set out to join with Daniel, leaving Shor'gen in the care of Jeenee and Ruddus, or more likely the other way around.
Kwon
Kwon had been closely monitoring the events throughout the rest of the ship through his live feed, while hastily getting the ship ready for lift-off. The captain was not on board yet, but help was coming to him, it seemed. Two groups of intruders had been dealt with, but there were others still inside, at least a few. “Attention security,” he spoke into the intercom. “The area around the breach appears secure, but there are intruders left across the second and maybe first floor. They’ve broken some of the cameras, so I can’t track them.”
When a path was finally formed, in a more literal way than expected, and the captain was on his way to the entrance, Kwon wasted no more time. He felt iffy about lifting off with enemies still inside, but they had to get out of here. He activated the Antigrav Generator and the ship slowly rose off the ground, just as the last few made their way through the entrance. “Roger that, captain. The sliding roof of the hangar is jammed with debris, I fear. We’re gonna have to bash through. Prepare for some turbulence!”
With the Exeralune off the ground and the doors finally closed, the invaders broke off their fruitless assault and scurried for cover against the ship's turrets. On the far end of the hangar, a hole had been blown in the crystal wall that sealed the entrance and some of the soldiers were retreating. “Gunners, concentrate firepower on the hangar roof, else we might not get through.” The thrusters were powerful enough to blow them through the roof, surely, but Kwon would rather avoid tilting the entire ship, and the lift of an antigrav generator would only get them so far.
The gunners were quick to start firing at the ceiling, the pherza bullets blowing small smouldering holes in the plasteel rafters. Meanwhile, Kwon slowly spun the ship around its axis, directing the turrets to carve out a circle large enough to surround the Exeralune. When the circle was nearly complete, the roof began moaning loudly like a structure about to collapse, and Kwon knew it was time to move. The ship took off upwards, bashing into the severely damaged ceiling, and suddenly a portion of the roof was torn from the rest of the building and lifted up with the ship. Once up in the air, he activated the thrusters and the ship took off towards the stratosphere, leaving the slab of hangar roof to slide off its back and crash back down to the ground. “Lift-off successful, captain.”

I'm working on a post btw, Damiann. Just letting you know so we don't post simultaneously.
Damiann, it'd be good if you post before me, so i have at least slightly more to respond to. If you read this, lemme know if you have time to post today. Cause if not, i'm just gonna post anyways to finally get this ship off the ground.
Well, i mention it because coldness is literally a lack of energy. The suit would have to expend energy to keep itself and the person inside from freezing, opposite to what it does when protecting from fire. Of course, applying video game physics instead doesn't hurt, as long as it's established up front, which is it now.
As a side note, having him only able to absorb two types of energy at a time is a fairly pointless restriction. Just thermal and electrical energy energy covers 99% of characters. It's not really a problem now that the CS is nerfed, just pointing it out.
I also wonder what happens if he's hit by cold-based attacks. Does it drain his energy?

I wasn't talking about the suit's defensive ability, but the ability to reshape things it touches.
And, well, everything Vordak said. Even if you don't count kinetic energy as energy and thus don't have it absorbed by the suit (which i assume is the case), how many characters are there at that level that use purely physical attacks? Anyone without powerful physical attacks would be fighting a loss-loss situation against him. His physical defence, in turn, may or may not be overpowered, it's hard to tell. You use kevlar and diamond as examples, but even in real life there are substances vastly more capable of stopping such attacks. Let alone in a scifi world, who knows what kind of compounds the suit has already absorbed and can conjure up to block attacks.
Which brings up the problem of absorbing new compounds. If he ever touches Wolverine's claws, will he learn to transform his suit into adamantium, making him nigh invulnerable? Wolverine isn't in this arena, but you get the point. He's probably gonna get exposed to a lot of fantastical substances, so the ability to absorb them is gonna make his power level skyrocket sooner or later.

There is no intermediate tier, you gotta give a number. Or are you just leaving it up to LeeRoy to judge the tier?
Well, my commentary at first glance:
- You gave no actual time estimation on the molecular reconstruction. Give us an x seconds/kg or something.
- You say his pistols shoot lasers. Is that actual lasers or frickin' lasers? Best not call something a laser if it isn't.
- Overall, i feel like this character's power level is way too vaguely defined, and his skillset leaves tremendous room for batmanning. I wouldn't know what tier to name him, nor a convenient way for you to better define him. I just hope LeeRoy or Schradinger have better insight in that.
