Yes, so this is something that I know there's been lots of discussion on recently, some of the changes to the Mercury. This is one of the instigating factors to that. It was so close to fitting one, it seemed wrong not to massage the interior slightly so that it could fit. Obviously the rear entrance was not quite large enough for it, so we increased that, which did have the unfortunate consequence of having to lose that central round middle engine, but the ship itself is not going to be any slower. We've added, I think, two extra smaller ones in the wings to compensate for it, and we readjusted the turret position so that there was length for a rover to go in there. The turrets themselves, they're not going to sit proud of the ship all the time. They're going to compact in like other ships.
