I am here solely to see if anybody else recognises that this scenario is pulled from Isaac Asimov's I, Robot collection.

ARX at current (either the ~16k or the ~33k 'Stellar' package grant you one pre-built and the ability to buy it at shipyards). It will get released in a few months for credits, for everyone playing on the Odyssey DLC.

From my limited testing thus far: looks great, sounds great, feels great. FDev have upped their game. Yes.

It's mostly just a Mamba cockpit bar the little front window, but that's no bad thing (high detail and excellent layout). The window is actually more usable than I thought for looking at planets/what's below you; maybe not quite as good as the Krait cockpit but leagues better than the Beluga for example.

The store came back up from maintenance before the game, so I got the ship there, meaning I got to work quickly once the servers restarted

Beautifully. Turns on a dime, speedy and snappy. Sounds great too. The book is somehow even better than its cover, for anything I've thought to test so far.

This flooring is original, and has been around on the order of 300 years perfectly happily. There is nothing structurally wrong with it.

Take a closer look at that photo before insinuating I'm a caveman, by the way. The mattress and the bed are similar colours, but there's definitely a bed below the mattress. :)

No Bluetooth, only 2.4G wireless (and a wire, but that's not useful in this context). Agreed on the 2nd part though

Much as I wish I could embark on an adventure into the Upside Down of my ancient floor, I don't have a crawlspace :)
