Haven’t seen any dev events in a while, do they still happen?
The problem I see there is: It’s ok as long as the dev flies tech that is available to players as well, but what happens if said dev were to shoot someone with an overpowered devship? Wouldn’t that just cause a lot of unnecessary drama?
In any case, the cockroach is a bughunting ship, and that’s likely where the name comes from as well. I think there was a way to get one on Singularity, which made sense, considering it’s the test server. But I don’t know if that’s still a thing.
