Awesome video. I've been watching a lot of your more recent videos and really getting hyped about jumping back into SE. I love that the server has NPCs you can hunt for tech, it makes material gathering meaningful. Had a couple of questions. How active is the server on a regular basis, is it mostly nights and weekends? Are you able to build your own ships in creative and project them on the server? One of my favorite things is ship/base design on this game.

Server had anywhere from 30-70 players on depending on time of day and events and such. Most people design in creative and then print the ship on server.

People don’t usually multi crew but there are large factions that recruit players. For example when scrapping enemy ships I’ve seen 4-5 players all buzzing around with grinders stripping everything valuable while one person flys a grinding skiff for the big stuff.

Minor issue; the PDCs in the book are nothing like the ones in the show. Rather than being rotary canons they are single barreled tubes that fire Teflon coated slugs incredibly fast; they're only rotary canons in the show because that looks cooler.
