Is 3.6 the patch where server-side Object Container Streaming comes? Is there anything for server-side OCS being done with 3.6?
TL;DRTodd Papy doesn't confirm server-side OCS for 3.6, saying such work happens behind the scenes and feature teams switch systems over as they go, with vehicles needing more than mining.
Well, there's behind-the-scenes work that's always being done, and it's what it is. We have a whole bunch of different feature teams. And so, for example, I'll take what we used to call EU3, which would be mining. Well, the way that mining was developed, I don't think we have much server-side OCS work that needs to be done, versus, let's say, the vehicle feature team. Well, there might be a fair amount of server-side OCS work that needs to be done. So they basically try to go through and switch these systems over as we go. Just because, again, with the vehicles, you're talking about IFCS, you're talking about power, you're talking about heat, you're talking about shields, so on and so forth. All these other items and features are culminations of a lot of little features coming together. And so each one of those has to be working with server-side OCS. That's the pain of it.
