Well the server is up and running, we had some guys in there shooting it up, making their fortunes.
The server appears to be very stable and running smoothly so far.
I played with another freelancer for about a half hour and it seemed to run very smoothly with just 3 of us on.
We'll see what happens as the numbers increase, but sofar with 3 people in there the server load never went up over 3 or 4 msec and is only using up about 33MB of its 512MB of ram so I think it should be good for at least 16-24 people.
Anyways, having fun as always is the main purpose so get in there, make your fortune and blast each other to pieces for loot.
This server encourages players to form groups and fight each other.
Ideally I would like to see at least 1 Escort type group, 1 Space Pirate group and 1 Space Trader type of group.
We are seeking players who want to fulfill those roles and protect their profits while trying to exploit others profits.
Each group needs the other to be successful.
Traders will pay Escorts with the money they make from selling their cargo, taking their own profit into account as well.
Pirates will try to loot the Traders while being fended off by Escorts.
Spying on each other to try to figure out the next likely trade lane to hack and catch them at is encouraged.
Fight on Freelancers!
