I would like to know, how does the entire "here, you fly my ship" work? Is there a contract signing of some sort? If they crash it, does the owner get it back with or without insurance? Is the person you're lending the ship to allowed to fly back to the coordinates of your hangar and land it in place? I would just like to know how all this is supposed to work.asked by Crimson Hawk Moth

Yes, good question. I'd like to know how it's going to work too!But no, all seriousness, we do plan for you to be able to loan your ships. We haven't worked out the specific details of the edge cases. What happens when he doesn't want to give it back to you? What happens if he's flown your ship to the other side of the galaxy, and you're on this side and you want your ship back? ... And he's not gonna bring it back for you, or he's just left the game. Do you have to go over there to get it? How do you get it back? Does he bring it back to you? Does it automatically just come back to your hangar, after a period of time? So, we haven't fleshed out that part of the design yet, and that is definitely something that we will need to do for the Persistent Universe. It's just not... there's some other more important things to get out of the way before we get into the loaning-of-ship stuff.We'll definitely have that figured out - how you can loan ships for other people - and we've just got to figure out the issues of the edge cases I brought up. Which is I'm sure why you're writing this question, so "hold on" is the answer on that one.
