[Upgrades shouldn't be swappable in-combat]

The Roadmap here says they're going to address this issue.

"Installing/removing upgrades at an equipment dock for improved stats (but can only be installed/removed there)"

 

Sounds like a fair move to me. Thoughts?

[A quick question about how wages are run]

Thanks for a quick answer!

[A quick question about how wages are run]

If an alliance (or an independent player) has AI captained ships or other crew on a dedicated server, how are the wages run in the cases of:

 

There being no alliance members on the server

AND

There being no players at all on the server

 

Wages still running all the time?

 

We're thinking of running a dedicated co-op server for a few friends, and are playing only a couple times a week. If the wages are running all the time, that would be difficult.
