So I can maybe answer the first bit and maybe the second bit. So with the refuel, there's two options. Again, not in 3.23 because we're not using fuel for that. It's worth mentioning that EVA fuel is in lore meant to be compressed nitrogen. So this might make more sense with that in mind. So if you're in atmosphere, you refuel automatically. And the idea behind that is that we want EVA to be accessible and to be able to use it as often as possible. But when you're out in the void, you should be considering how you're using your fuel. So every time you step out that door, we want you to be in a situation where you're ready to go, but you've then got to consider how you use your fuel on the go. And then in terms of refueling while we're out there, we support MedPen injections, or it's not a MedPen, it's a refuel injection, but it's the same thing you're used to with MedPens and symptom masking pens where you just jab yourself with one of those. What's the other aspect of the question? Sorry, my mind's gone blank.

Will the weight of your equipment affect fuel consumption?

Oh, does mass affect it? Sorry, I misunderstood the question. In that case, at the moment, I don't think it's a big factor, but we definitely want to look into that moving forward. I don't know when, but for 3.23, I don't think it is.

So for 3.23 at least, fuel isn't in 3.23. So when the first version of fuel comes online, people aren't going to have to manage the, oh, I don't want to carry this weapon or this railgun with me because it's going to burn up fuel faster.

Correct, yeah. Moving forward, we do want to have different roles for armor. We have that in consideration, so you might want to put on a certain armor type to go out in EVA, and it's better at that, or it's lighter weight, that kind of thing. But that's further down the line.
