Will PES allow for ship states, MFDs, gimbal modes, scanning angles, all these things to persist within player ships?
TL;DRPersistence of these states is driven by game code, not the persistence team; gimbal modes might persist via a serialized variable, while MFDs and scanning angles are unconfirmed pending the combat team.
So I did actually inquire about this a little bit before we came here because obviously this is game code driven. So it's not something that the PES team actually controls, though we do enable persistence for those things. So I do believe that gimbals modes might persist because they're implemented with a serialized variable. So that means that this would stay. For MFDs and scanning angles, we don't know yet. That needs to be confirmed by the combat team. But if it's implemented with serialized variable, then yes. If it's not and it's a reset, like again, a bit like the spawning location, right? If they every time you sit in the seat, it changes the value, then it doesn't matter if it's persisting. Right. But that's something that all the game teams will be tweaking up until we get there. And if they can benefit from it, I'm sure they will jump on it. Absolutely.
