Did I just hear you say that there's auto takeoff?

TL;DRAuto takeoff technology exists for AI ships but is not currently planned for players, who the developers want to fly the ship themselves, though it might be something they want to do for Squadron.

Auto landing.

I don't think there is for players. We do have a takeoff system, but I think the AI ships are using it. Theoretically, we could do it.

John CreweVehicle Pipeline Director

Yeah, I mean, it might be something that we want to do for Squadron. We had a very rough version of it for the Squadron livestream, just because it makes it nicer to show off than letting players in the Idris hangar with the Gladius. That's obviously a very confined space to hover up and then go out the front. So that bit was automated during that livestream, but that can be done manually at the moment. It's just for the purposes of showing it off, it's much nicer to automate it.

I'm thinking about Lorville, getting into and out of Lorville as more people go there. We're saying that the tech exists, but there's no currently planned implementation for an auto-takeoff for players.

David ColsonGameplay Programmer

Nope. Tech exists for AI, but not players. We would like you to fly the ship yourself.
