Any updates on the enhanced ship modularity that was mentioned? It's one of our original stretch goals. Several ships, like the Retaliator, have modules that were made available for pledge.

TL;DRSwappable modules need items like the Retaliator's missile racks to become part of the vehicle's interior containers, and that work is scheduled for the upcoming quarter, but release timing is not confirmed.

One of the big pieces that is missing for that is the ability to have items, such as the missile racks of the Retaliator, inside the object containers of the vehicle, which are essentially the rooms inside the vehicle, attached to a vehicle and all communicating together. The inside of the vehicle currently doesn't talk to the outside. I think we're going to talk about this more in a future episode of Calling All Devs. At the moment, the missile racks on the Retaliator are attached to the outside of the ship. So if you took away that interior room and put the dropship module in, you'd just have these two torpedo racks still stuck on there. So we need to make those items be part of the object containers and swap in and out. And the work for that is actually scheduled in the upcoming quarter. Whether it's going to release in that quarter is not for me to say now.
