Can you go into more detail on the respawn mechanic for the Medical Bay? Can you deny enemies from spawning in your bay? How fast will replacement ships normally be delivered? How fast do you estimate expedited delivery to take?

The pilot of a Hope-class Endeavor - as with any other ship - has complete control over who can see their broadcast beacon. They can specify that only certain individuals can see such signals, only certain organizations, anyone, or anyone with a particular reputational rating beyond a certain value. Individual players and organizations can also be blacklisted. Thus, you'll have total control over who is allowed to spawn in your Medical Bay. Expedited ships will arrive very quickly, as sitting on another player's ship for an extended period of time wouldn't be particularly fun, and the longer that you remain the more likely that the pilot might decide to leave the area, which would defeat the entire purpose of selecting them as a spawn point in the first place.
