Annotations
- ↑ Currently, the Idris seems to only dock at Baijini Point above ArcCorp, it is unclear whether this was intended, or if it is a bug. Also, the ship seems inaccessible because the hangar elevators don't show the docking port destination to the Idris. Some players make it inside through the Argo bay on the bottom.
- ↑ Players were only rarely sighting the Polaris fleet, apart from during the PTU phase. This could be intended, but it could also be a bug.
