With procedural planets coming, do you have plans for some sort of firefighting ship?

TL;DRA firefighting ship has been discussed and always comes up in brainstorms, but it isn't scheduled because it needs more elaborate game design and focus is on designs already started.

We've talked about a firefighting ship. You and I did. It's not on the schedule, because you have to have a more elaborate game design to go with it. I think our focus right now is going to be finishing up the designs that we've already kicked off. But firefighting is one of those ships where, whenever we sit down and we're like, okay, let's have a brainstorm session about what cool ships we could expand to in the future, firefighting always comes up. Because firefighting is awesome. In fact, David Hobbins did a cool firefighting robot at one point. I think while he was working here; it was for something else. But if you look up David Hobbins' portfolio, he did a cool firefighting mech thing that inspired us all at one point. And of course, there's Episode 3, where for some reason there are firefighting ships that fly up alongside the ship at Coruscant.
