Once the PU is live, will making modifications & repairs to your ships remain instant, or will there be a wait time imposedFor example, I would imagine that swapping out the power plant or engines on a Constellation would not be a 5 second job, how would it balance immersion and fun?asked by KahnRa

Yes, we've had this debate on the design side, between "make it realistic because things don't change out instantly," to "we don't want to have someone sitting around for 2 days before their power plant's changed." I'm not sure we've made a full decision on it.Right now in the hangar you change out weapons pretty instantly. There may be a case on some bigger, definitely on repairs and modifications there will definitely be some timeline stuff.You'll land in the ship, and your ship's shot up, then you'll go and say "I need it repaired" and they'll say "Ok, it will get repaired, come back in 5 hours," or a day, which, when I say 5 hours or a day, I mean game time, so you can go out and then you can walk around the environments, do some stuff, maybe buy and sell some stuff, talk to people, and then go back to your ship and be ready to fly again.So we'll probably do it on some of the bigger things. Some of the simpler things like weapon loadout changing and stuff like that, maybe that's instant or very short.But we talked about having repairs and modifications. Like you're in the shop, and you can sort of see sparks and stuff happening in the distance while they're working on it, and then when it's finished, you could maybe get a notification on your mobiGlas.That's kind of how we're doing it, but like anything else, we're gonna fall on the side of what we think ultimately makes the game fun, so we definitely wouldn't want to make it too long doing that kind of stuff.
