Regarding hosting my own server, will there be updates available as new systems are discovered and added, as well as ships and items in the game? And if so, would it be a three-month delay or something, or almost right away?asked by Electronic Scavenger
TL;DRPersonal servers won't be allowed to spoil the Persistent Universe's secrets, so discoveries will be found there first, but the final design of the update system isn't settled.
I think what he's really asking is, if he's running his own server and we're updating, are they then going to know where the secret systems are when they're added, or how are we going to handle that?
And that's the important part of it too, is that whatever the secrets are in the game, we are not going to let personal servers mess up our persistent universe. So whatever the system ends up being, that's a discussion we still have to have with Chris, but whatever that system is, we are going to make sure that things get found in the Persistent Universe first.
Right, and Chris is very aware of that. We want to have servers out there that people can use, but we don't want it to screw up for everybody else out there.
There will be some system out there, but it's something I don't think we've gotten to the final design on yet.
