well there is a mod in progress (dont know if it will make it out of beta) that is supossed to let you enter hyper quardnetswere just by entering these no matter were you are you can jump to another system

if you are referring to shadows hyperdrive, its a scam, if not it sounds cool

i dont know but maybe it can be done after all in the 70 they said computers would never behome devieces and look at us now.

, yeah maybe but only if you had the ability to insert new code into the exe or dll or where-ever docking routines are stored and that's illegal. You could build a prog using flserver/ifso data to change a plyrs location if he had a certain item that signified where he wanted to go, but you would have to kick him out, change the data and resave it.

it would be great if we could come up with a hyperdrive but its highly unlikely

On this note...

I wonder what it would take to have some game company make a basic space game like Freelancer with a full set of editors to go with it so you could make ships, guns, systems, rumors, missions, and all the rest. To whom do we appeal? Given the life of Freelancer and its continued poplularity world wide, and several precursor games I remember that were mainly text based about trading, it seems the need for such a thing is there, only the will to create an open game and risk selling it remains. Freelancer is popular because it can be modded. Only modable games have "legs"... that is, contiuned support. The fan following garnered by the Doom series by ID since the early days should have been an indicator of the "cash cow" such a game would be. The need is there, the fans are there, now where is the enteprenureal game maker who will fill it.

It should have a basic story that once played could be dispensed with or not. Then it should have the ability to write a new story using new or continued characters. It should have the ability to add new objects and fully integrate them into the game. Finally it should have a game engine large enough to do things not done in the original production. I would buy such a game. Hell, they could even offer upgrades for those who are not into modding, but might want to try new ships, a modified story, etc.

What do you think?
