Trivia

 * The description of the Weaver originally referenced the Wasp Prototype's initial iteration, when it was in development in 2018, where it had access to offensive weaponry—this is no longer true, and the Wasp's only purpose is transport and mining. The description was fixed in the February 9, 2022 Update.
