Why even broadcast the SSID? Basic mistake there!

My exact thinking, why not just hide the SSID. Maybe they did, but the ones involved talked (like some other crew saw them with internet and asked)?

@return2ozma This ships don’t work and are being decommissioned. Most of the time they are in a port being repaired. You can’t blame them wanting a connection to the world.
