3.23 has the addition of the Kopion and the Marok bird. Hypothetically, if I go out to the plains of Lorville or microTech and I coerce a kind and gentle Kopion onto my ship, and I bring that ship back to my personal hangar, and then I coerce the kind and gentle Kopion out of my ship into my personal hangar and then I leave, does that Kopion now persist in my personal hangar for all time?
TL;DRHangar persistence matches ship persistence, so the speaker believes the Kopion would likely persist, but he hasn't tested it, and Jared stresses this is hypothetical and not a guarantee.
Oh, man. So it's going to work... The way to think about what will persist in the hangars is just to think about what will persist in the ships, because it's identical. And I think people have probably seen the video of people spending a month collecting NPCs in the game in their ship. So for now, for sure, if it persists in the vehicle, it's going to persist in the hangar. In this case, yes, I believe that the Kopion would persist. I haven't personally tested that, so... But I'm pretty sure it would persist. In fact, we already have bugs right now about people being attacked in the station by the Kopions and stuff. They're, we'll say, encouraged into the station by some other players. So if you're able to get one all the way into your hangar, then okay, you're going to get rewarded. Maybe that's your own security mechanism. We solved it.
I want to be real clear. I'm joking. I'm having fun. But he did not say that's a definite thing. That is clearly an untested situation that I presented to Chad. He's speaking hypothetically based on his knowledge of how the system works. Right now, this is not a guarantee or an admittal that it does work.
