Any news regarding the ability to spawn vehicles and snubs in or together with our larger ships?

TL;DRSpawning vehicles with larger ships is still wanted, but the developers were reprioritized, so for now it's manual loading that hopefully persists better with persistent entity streaming, with a proper interface wanted long term.

It's definitely something we want to do. I've said this before: the people that were working on this unfortunately had to be reprioritized onto other things. It is frustrating. You can do this now, but it involves you manually loading it yourself, and it usually, fingers crossed, stays between sessions. That will get much more reliable with persistent entity streaming. So hopefully you just have to do that once. And then for all your future play sessions, like you've loaded your Carrack up with your Pisces and your Rover, that's it done. You do that pain once and you're good to go. But we definitely want to still have it there in either the ASOP or an equivalent terminal.

Still want an interface for it?

John CreweVehicle Director

Yes. Long term, we don't want people to have to do the manual legwork of putting it all together. You should be able to choose it up front. Like, here's my 15th character I've got in my account for whatever reason, and I want to have this Rover and this snub ship in it. Bam, spawn it, as long as they're all at the same location. Put them all in, put it on the landing pad.
