yeah, it would kill the servers to have a (300ly?) flash of light and maybe EMPing every player ship in that reach. it will definitely happen during update 13, and we'll log in to see the mess left behind
So after the update, we all log in and find every ship has zero power, all modules shut down, all fire groups zeroed out, and every commander's backpack has a crank added to it.
In case anyone was curious, the crank is going to be used to restart your reactor. So I guess EVA's confirmed for those commanders that were still out in space not landed on a planet. You got to restart the engine somehow. Enjoy cranking. You got to get it up to 100,000° in order to get this thing rolling again. Crank as if your life depends on it because it does.
