You guys have been working on our new ship component system, which went in with 2.2 last night [— what went in]?

Yep, the first step of it went in. We rolled out the groundwork for updated power plants and coolers. So we're moving away from ships having just one power plant on them to being a series of linked and additive components. So most of the ships now, you'll have two or three power plants installed. Pretty much every ship has a pair of coolers on it. So it's setting the groundwork for the new system, where we can build out a ton of components in the future.

We'll soon start to have that applied to shields. The groundwork is already laid out so that we can have an array of shield generators as well, which is important because otherwise you just get the one shield.
