I just thought of a problem

Building off into non-planetary systems (star only solar system) would be a great place for secret projects, like building a new ship or a base.

These non-build areas... You can fly ships into them, yes? And ships are worlds, yes? Like everything else? So construction projects in deep space could be handled exactly the same way ships are, without screwing with the in-between data.

Even out in the deep space boonies, it's going to have to be on someone's server. We've discussed having a cloud solution at one point, but really that is way beyond the scope of this project.

So unless we win the 70 million dollar lottery and I can pay you (and others) to work full time, it's not going to happen.

Well, NECRO to you too. BACK ON TOPIC... Look at my diagram down below. The empty space can be hosted by a server run by a 3rd party system. If and when this mod comes out there will be a lot of donations. (Possibly a 5$ payment to play[If you are not registered on this forum]) And then use that money to have a server hosted. Any comments?

@ Legion

A week is not necroposting, and the reason necroposting is annoying in the first place is from people pointing it out and derailing the entire topic with people talking about necroposting. Good on Khmac for taking the bait.

@Khmac
If there's money involved in this mod, it will definitely not be an entry-barring arrangement, if we have any ability to avoid it. And members of the forum won't get any special treatment. It might have made sense for Notch who was trying to start a business. I don't want to have to treat Futurecraft like a business.

As far as servers themselves go, I can look into making it easy to mount and unmount regions, so the load can be balanced easier. Probably better than a cloud setup anyway since the servers are going to be connected by the internet.

Well, that would require too much data.

For example, to get and build at point O...

You would have to fill in data for the -- area too. And we are data-tight.

What he said.

No you don't, if you use memory addresses, you could have:
X(71)O
and if someone builds between them it rewrites itself as the following:
X(34)Y(37)O

try not to necropost it makes people angry. (Don't post on a topic which hasn't been posted on in the last week or so) this is on the line but probably still not a good idea.

No, this is OK. It's only been a week, and it's on-topic.

Just kidding don't listen to me I'm terribad at that my bad (not just bad, not just terrible, I'm terribad)

Back on topic.

So, no FC cloud system?.......


Actually, you could make servers that want to use a cloud service pay for it....

I don't think cloud works, but we should look at the possibility of a network with no master server, or one only involved in stuff like adding new people and servers.
