Are these going to be just another copy-paste like we have seen with bunkers, or can we expect to see actual variety in the building designs?

TL;DRThe main structure of each distribution center looks the same, but surrounding assets, faction branding, lobby design and nearby terrain features make each one look and feel different rather than a copy-paste.

So yes and no. So the main form, the main structure, that is going to look the same, but there are feathering assets around each DC to make them all unique, I suppose. Some are going to have quite a large footprint. I mean, it's a big thing on the ground anyway, but there's going to be a bit more of a spread on some of them, and some of them are going to be smaller. But yes, visually they will be different from the exterior so that you do feel like you're going to a different place each time. Also we have factions that own each one, and their branding will be on the building, the name of the place will be different. You'll go into the lobby and that corporate-facing area is going to be branded to that faction. So that'll be quite novel, which would be nice. But they are not just a copy and paste of the same, even though I just said that. They do feel different, I would say, when you're flying to them. And also some of them are, where they are on planets, next to interesting features. So hopefully you'll get a recognition of, 'Oh, this is the place on Stanton 1 because it's next to this lovely sea and the sun never goes down.' 'Oh, I know the one you're talking about. I'll meet you there' type of thing, which will be something that we actually thought about rather than just going one here, one here, one here.

You say Stanton when you mean Hurston.

Yes. Sorry.
