I will be back at me computer tomorrow, once I added the lazers to the Thargon's I will release another demo. Once that is done I can start adding the multiplayer stuff and player controls to the game engine.
I also want to sort out a sort of NPC ship generator that will allow more variety on the NPC ships. There has been a lot of planning going on trying to get the NPC's to work in multiplayer I think I have good plan about how to go about this. So once I have the basics done I can start running Multiplayer tests to see if I can get more and more players into the game. I will also add GNet support so players if they want can 'advertise' thier servers as well, this is working but as there isnt any multiplayer yet (its a NPC test atm which is going amazingly well).
Its all going well this will be the final source revision, the source will not be released with this version as it will have cheat protection added so the server can check on occasions.
Stevie G: I agree I have been coding it for ages but a game as big as Elite cannot be rushed, everyone has a vision of how a multiplayer version of Elite should look like to me it should be exactly like Elite just with multiplayer.
