I was thinking more along the lines of Squadron 42: will there be any kind of theater commander situation where you would have target handoff between players, or the equivalent of an AWACS controlling the battlefield, those kinds of things where stealth would come into play?

So less Squadron 42, but that will definitely be stuff that you'll see in the Persistent Universe and you'll see prototypes in Arena Commander. So we already have ships. At a certain level, you've got the Hornet Tracker that kind of does a bit of that. But we have some other ships that are in the pipeline that are bigger versions of that. So that is kind of a gameplay focus that we're thinking will definitely happen in the Persistent Universe. And there is some part of it that happens in Squadron 42, but it's a slightly different context. But generally, when we have the bigger ships, like an Idris corvette or whatever, there's going to be whole roles for people.
