Hi, since many years it is a dream of mine to see a Multiplayer Version of a Escape Velocity Type game. Its a game where u pilot a space ship, do jobs or kill pirates or trade to get money then u buy a bigger ship and so on.
The game needs several Hundred "Solar-Systems" with 1-5 "Planets" or "Space Stations" in it. And of course a certain number of Ships (players and npc's) A solar system therefore has the approximate size of one big Starcraft 2 Map.
I wonder if the Galaxy editor is capable of the following three things.
1. Making a universe with over 100 "Solar-Systems/Maps" where a player can "warp-jump" in and out (navigation in some kind of universe map). Its like u pick up a mission in one system and then u have to fly/jump a few systems to complete the mission in that system, then go back and get ur reward.
2. Allowing some kind of MMO-Style, which means more than 12 Player playing at the same time. So u can start gather cash buy ship log off, log in the next day and continue.
3. If point 2 doesnt work an alternative could be some kind of save system where a players progress can be saved on his computer in a file and when he joins the game, he already has his earlier aquired ship and stuff. So it would be like in Diablo 2 where u join the world with "only" 12 player but at least u dont lose ur stuff. Just like in a real rpg.
4. Is it possible to implement a macanism that a player can join into an already running game, like one leaves so anotherone can join, like in diablo 2.
Is it theoretically possible to do these things ??
