Will flying with backpacks still be possible or will we need to stow them?

TL;DRBackpacks will need to be stowed when flying, with dropship seats having their own inventory that automatically stores and restores backpack and weapon; other seats are being looked at, nothing confirmed.

You will need to stow them, yep. It will be a case of, obviously, we have so many different backpacks and we've got more coming down the line. So it might be a case of that we, and I think it depends on the ship as well, we talked about, right? It depends on whether it'd be automatically stored.

There are seats that, you know, the dropship seats that have their own inventory and you'll automatically have that backpack and your weapon, anything else that would clip, taken off and put in that inventory and when you stand up, it will appear back on you because as you said before, Nick, the last thing you wanna do is be strapped into your dropship and then the doors open and then suddenly, oh, backpack gun, you know, taking all that visual.

That's a major piece of information there, Luke. Like, you know, it's in the last couple patches when people have seen, you know, we've seen people sticking chairs, you know, to the cargo grid on the sides of, you know, hull Cs and stuff like this and people have had questions about, well, what does this do for dropships if you can just put seats anywhere and whatnot? Like, where's the value of my dropship? But you just dropped a great little pearl there that, you know, a dropship seat will have its own specific inventory, it will store your backpack, your weapons, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, so you can sit comfortably and when you get out, all there for you, that's huge and I think folks who own a dropship will appreciate that.

We're looking at other places where we can maybe do that as well. Like, you know, maybe single seater ships and things but, you know, nothing confirmed.
