How did their station get discovered in the first place? It looks like another fleet simply stumbled across it while prospecting. If the Vekimen already had subspace comms, it seems strange that they never used them until well after they were discovered... Were they trying to hide? Were they trying to spy on others' transmissions all along? It doesn't seem like they'd need them for what few missions their ships went on.
It seems to swing back the other way, then... if they don't have FTL-capable ships, they don't need FTL comms, because they'll be either be confined to a single star system or they'll be dependent on technology from other factions. If they're using technology from other factions, they can get access to standard tech, just like everyone else, and you'd only need to incorporate it into their designs.
I would assume that the Vekimen used to have better communications technology that they lost over time while isolated on the Station. They might have even had some of the tech remaining and just had no idea how to use it anymore, since they had no need to talk to anyone outside their Station until the emergency situation and their recent reentry into galactic society. During the RP I mentioned that our Engineer was able to modify equipment in the control area of the Vekimen Station to talk to the Heartbreaker and other SA ships, which goes along with that idea.
Herein lies the danger of RP that occurs without the faction, tech and other setting submissions getting approval first. Rejecting this submission now means I go against the grain of established RP β not a rock against which I'd prefer to have my back.I can answer one or two questions there. The Vekimen were putting out distress signals for weeks, that the Heartbreaker managed to pick up and home in on with Edtoto's help with Vekimen communications technology, her knowledge of the Station's immediate surroundings and the Heartbreaker's information about the Uesu UX systems.
