Is vehicle-in-ship spawning in active development?

TL;DRVehicle-in-ship spawning is only semi-active and not in active development, since it is waiting on other dependencies (iCache) to be more complete before it is picked up.

It's sort of semi-active. We did some internal tests. We got it working. It's important to differentiate some of those things from Connie and Merlin docking. That's almost like an entirely different thing. Anything that is always going to be in a repeatable position every time you spawn the ship or customize the ship, like the Merlin and the Connie, will work. Things where you can change it out between multiple ships, we're looking at this. Ultimately, it still creates item ports that ships are attached to, but it does them dynamically. And for various technical reasons, we're waiting for iCache to be more complete on certain other areas, and then we'll pick that up. Because if we try and shoehorn it in now, it'll just be throwaway code that iCache does out of the box for it.

So that one's not in active development like the other things, just waiting on other dependencies.

Yes.
