We see an option for ship rentals on the 3.6 roadmap. What's the scope of this in 3.6?

TL;DRShip rentals let players try ships without buying them with UEC, but rental length and edge cases such as real versus game days and cargo when time expires are undecided.

This is to allow players to go try out new ships without going and purchasing them with UEC. We haven't decided on how many days, meaning if it's a one-day, three-day, seven-day rental. I mean, we want to be able to give those different options. But then there's also figuring out the edge cases, meaning let's say you do a seven-day rental. Okay, is it seven days in the real world or is it seven days in the game world? And then also what happens if you have cargo on that and then it runs out? All these kind of edge cases that we're working through. But it really is just to allow players to try different things. Maybe somebody wants to try out a Reclaimer before they actually save up to purchase one with UEC.

I've seen some folks wonder if that means renting their ships out to other players and stuff like that. It's about taking them from the kiosk.

Yeah, exactly.
