So this is one I can talk a bit more about. This is on the feature team schedule to be delivered in the near future. I'm not going to give a date, and it's required as part of some other planned content where we're going to allow ships to land inside select other ships and then be able to refuel, rearm, repair on board those ships, using the parent ship's resources inside their cargo grids. So if you've stocked up your ship with RMC and hydrogen fuel, the ship that's landed in will, at this moment in time, it may change when it releases, use the existing mobiGlas repair/rearm screen and go, I want to repair, rearm, and it will take it from the resources.

And I think it's not technically blocking us from releasing any ships apart from, I think, the Crucible. If there's others, I can't remember them right now. But I do think it will add a lot to the Vulcan experience. I guess it is still sort of related to combat anyway, but I think it will still add a lot of gameplay to some of our larger multi-crew ships.

Now, I do want to clear up, for Kami, and folks who are saying Ironclad and Crucible: no. This is what John said, and I want to reiterate this here: select hangars of existing ships. This isn't something for new ships, although it is something that will apply and make things like the Crucible and the Vulcan possible down the line. Let's just take a ship with a big hangar as an example, like an Idris. You have extra munitions, you have extra fuel, you have extra repair goods or whatever sitting on your cargo grid, and somebody lands a ship on the same cargo grid, you can reload, rearm, refuel from that stock. It's not going to be every ship, it's not going to be every hangar, but like I said, it's on the feature schedule right now, and it's necessary for some of the interesting content that we have scheduled for the next year. So no when, but it's on the schedule and being actively worked on. And it's needed for some of the goals that the gameplay teams have. So it'll be a really cool thing for ships when it comes.
