Might want to keep microwave just for the rads reactions

They can research service branch and print microwave.
Or buy refined bananium.

[ErhardSteinhauer]

Or spray it

Rads removed from it upstream and we probably just going to keep that change

Hm, riiiight. Still, research option is there.

I don't like the tabletop computers, i prefer normal ones. Also, there's a shutter over the door in the control room. Other than that, lgtm

Shutter over the door is intentional

I can see the idea you're going for, but generally please just keep the shutters external (so like, between the seating area and the control room, no shutters)

[ErhardSteinhauer]

but generally please just keep the shutters external

I disagree with this.
However, I don't have too strong feelings about it and I have editor opened right now, so I'll remove it.

Hi do you reckon you could semi-revert the artifact chamber from the old version to have a gap between the ship and the chamber?

I recently got told that the firelocks can be a bit of a death trap and I only made that change because the artifact analyse console had a smaller range.

[ErhardSteinhauer]

I love me a good death trap. And I like the firelock setup there. But I'll think about it more.

Changes seem sane, ship looks good. Requested a small guidebook rewrite, otherwise, happy to approve.

No bar = no ATM. ATMs are placed at ships with bar\kitchens, iirc. Or so i heard.

Not necessarily. In any case, the ATM is there to speed up the transactions between scientist and someone buying tech from them. (In rare case a scientist even cares to read the chat and sell something at all).

Yeah, that's exactly why i asked for ATM for all RND ships at some point and was answered that only ships with bars\kitchens had ATMs.

Not sure how long ago that was, but no questions were raised about the Lyrae having an ATM when I PR'ed that. Doubt it's an issue any more, and it makes perfect sense for sci ships to have them.
