About the plans for 2 servers connected to each other...

[Boss]

I prefer it full, more to do.
And instead of having another, 'parallel universe' type, server, why not just try to find ways to boost this one over 200 limit?

It has been stated a thousand and one times: Impossible. Playing would be no fun at all, because the server stability will drop to somewhat nearly zero.

Pushing the limit above 200 would require the FLserver to be re-written in order to adjust it to run with more than one core.

Allow me to butt in here.

The current server is incapable of going past this limit of 200 without severe instability. Cannon had said it might be possible, using FLHook, to assign multiple physical servers to the virtual Freelancer server that the world sees.

i.e.

World
|
Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7
| |
server1 server2

If this can be determined feasible, then we've got a good shot at a higher limit. Fingers crossed. For now though, everything works okay.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
