Particularly as it seems possible that licensing their OWN server tech to other games might be a large part of their business model.

surprisingly true of the game of RealLife too.

we all have our role. /grin

Just FYI: typo. should be "have been too hazardous" feel free to delete this post after fixing...

Hell yes, I remember being thoroughly impressed by your roofs

we are all gathering, like flies on.... Alioth

While I also could speculate about the developers subjective opinions on what is reasonable, i decided instead to focus on practical objective reasons. Both could be true, maybe neither is true and they will come out with an offline ship editor at some point. That is why I used Improbable, rather then speaking in certainties.

This is highly improbable. 1. they will not want to spend resources developing this. 2. as soon as the server is up 24/7 it will be moot.

Tell that to my Tardis

hehe

and here I thought it might die this time.

It has also been intimated ( I don't remember where ) that there might eventually be MORE arks. It might be that a year from release, when Alioth has been terraformed into a giant city, that new players will spawn on a different planet, in a different ark.

I feel pretty, Oh so pretty... Form defines function. Function informs form. Symbiosis. Peace. Tordan.

Nah. Voxelmancers Guide to the Galaxy.

This would indeed be useful.
