I'm ok with being a StarEngine fanboy.
Not to derail the thread, but has anybody heard much about 'modding'?
I loved working in the Sandbox. It'd be neat if I could generate some content or something.. make my own Star System for people to visit.
Maybe for private servers, but I don't think modding will be allowed on public servers. The official channel for that (predominantly ships) will be to submit a user created ship to CIG and they will select certain ones that appear plausible to the universe and will fit with balance. So, no M50 size ships with uber power cores and 100 CF-227s.
On the private server side, I wouldn't put it past the community to figure it out, though the signed pak files will probably be a huge barrier. Also, private servers will be pretty dead as far as the universe simulation goes. CR has confirmed they still plan to offer the private server option, but their universe simulation will require a cloud style access to resources. They will have a cluster running the universe simulation of millions of NPCs while the official game servers will be able to correlate with it and access the NPCs in areas they're responsible for.
