easter came and went, and work caught up with me so abscense from the forums was needed 
captain obvious! THANKS! between work and other irl stuff it’s hard to gather even WHERE to find the information one needs. i thank you so much. i was planning to wait until UE 4.8 was released (since the kit maybe gets updated then)
but it i’m getting the itch… going to get cracking on getting the server up tomorrow
