Keep movement when cleanly logged off.

[CoyoteNZ]

Currently if we log off, we stop moving in space.

 

if somebody finds us we resume our movement. When we log back in, we resume movement.

 

it doesn’t make sense. I think we should keep our movement as well as our velocity when we are off line.

 

yes since most work is done client side rather than server side, it would be a little more effort for NQ to keep track of where a construct is at any particular time, but it has to be a pretty linear calculation.

 

this means if I am slow boating to Feli, logging off, taking up less of NQ resources wouldn’t effect me. I’d still be moving. I’d still be at risk of being found and killed by pirates.

 

Maybe only do it for clean logouts. Surly the server can tell when somebody has cleanly logged off, rather than crashed or disconnected.

 

just resuming velocity but not having moved in space makes it feel single player game rather than living always there MMO.
