And then how about the other aspects, the resources, whether you're extracting minerals and various, that maybe you could get there that you can't get [elsewhere]?

TL;DRLawless places like Pyro are meant to offer risk-reward through exotic materials and salvage, but Pyro's release isn't promised and is said to come after 3.9, sometime next year.

That's the carrot, which is, so why would you go to this incredibly dangerous, lawless place? Well, there must be something. That's exactly it. It's the risk-reward, which is, that's where you can really make the big bucks. That's where you can make the killer return. There are some exotic materials, and in greater quantity there than in other places, but you're going to have to be willing to get bruised in order to retrieve them.

And I think Pyro, we're not going to promise exactly what the release is, but it's going to be at some point next year. It won't be 3.9, maybe after that, at some point. But it's a bit early to promise because we still have to make sure a few things are going. But, for instance, you're in a system like Pyro where there probably won't be a lot of stations that you can go and get fuel. You may want to be able to collect fuel yourself with your ship, or someone can make a good living by selling it to people in Pyro.

One of the next occupations up will be salvage. And I would expect in any kind of lawless place, a lot of conflict, you'd have a lot of debris, a lot of derelict ships, a lot of stuff to salvage, a lot of value for people that basically want to strip, whether it's the hull of a ship or the internal components and things of that sort.
