In regards to damage states: when the ships are returned to the hangar damaged, will the damage state carry over?asked by Failscape

That's kind of a two-part question. Because in Dogfighting V1, it's not going to. You're in a simulator. Your ship will be fine. We're not going to damage your ships in the making of this dogfighting. But then in the Persistent Universe, it will eventually. Your damage will stay. And over time, it will get dirtier and more damaged, until you fix it.

Yeah, Forrest showed some of the PBR, how it's going to rust or go through over time. And as you said, it's a simulator. It's a dogfighting module. Don't forget, you guys are helping us test this thing so that we can find out and balance and tune this thing as we go. So it wouldn't do us any good if everybody's ship was blowing up left and right. We weren't able to get any data out of that.
