We're just getting into the really big ships, so something like the Starfarer, we're still sorting out how that'll work both with the hangar and with Port Olisar. It's just one of the many pieces that we're slowly getting sorted out. We're just trying to get the medium-sized ships in the game now with the Connie and the Freelancer, so it's just iterating and building things out and finding out what actually is going to work long-term.

We've got some time. The Starfarer is going to go into the hangar, then it'll be in the hangar for a while before it becomes flight ready. So we have some time to figure that stuff out. Prioritization is probably one of the most important aspects of game development, and the hardest. We all want the Banu Merchantman to be done, but it just doesn't make sense yet.

Well, and that's also the same, because I see a lot of questions about, will this variant be ready when the ship is hangar ready? And across the board, realistically, no. We're going to get a baseline of the ship set up, hangar ready, flight ready, and then we'll start getting all those variants built out, set up, and get those flyable when it's the appropriate time. We can't do everything all at once now. There's only so many people, so many days.
