Modules are often expensive optional additions. Will modules for ships like the Galaxy be available for in-game currency upon release so players aren't stuck with half-functional ships?
TL;DRModules follow the same rule as any new ship, becoming available in game some time after release because pledged buyers must be served first; the speaker is unsure of the details and will look into the Retaliator's modules.
The modules is an interesting one. Part of it's an economy reason, part of it's a marketing reason, and part of it is pledge law, stuff like this. The Retaliator is really the only one that we've released with modules, and it sort of had an awkward... There were two ways to get the Retaliator over time. There was the original pledge, which was a bomber. It wasn't modular. And then there's the modular version. When that was announced, you couldn't get the bomber one anymore. So people were pledging for the base one with no modules, and then you opted into the modules after that. So when we came to deliver it, we had to deliver both of them. So there were a lot of people that had the bomber one as a loaner ship for their one without it, and were surprised that they didn't have anything. And the current rule set is it's the same as any new ship, that it will be available in game after X amount of time from its actual release. I know the amount of time; I just can't remember it specifically. I don't want to say the wrong thing right now. But it comes down to, again, I'm not going to get into it, but there's general marketing stuff, and then there's actually some laws in crowdfunding and pledges that you have to deliver the thing to those people who paid money before you can give it to others. I don't have to worry about that stuff, which is why I don't have the information. I don't know if it's the case right now, but the Retaliator modules, maybe they're not in the in-game shops. Maybe there might be a technical reason why they're not in there. I genuinely don't know. But we can look into it.
Because some of those have been around for long enough now.
Those should have passed the date requirements.
