A DEDICATED, PERMANENT SERVER Is DESPERATLEY NEED. I'm Sure VICE Will Address this Problem Before Long. I and [LL] Clan Can't Continue to Lose Dozens of Systems and HUNDREDS Of Stations, just Like ALL Other Clans. I Know this is just an Inconvienience but an IRRITATING One.
With A Permanent, Large Scale SERVER There would ALWAYS Be a Place for MP. I Thank Those who have Stepped Up and Created Their Own Servers and Had them Listed, but We have Gone from near a Dozen Servers to Four.
I Hope You Can Get a SERVER Up and Running Soon VICE.
Nothing lasts forever, of course, but I am committed to keeping Starport 6 up and running at all costs (short of letting the rent and internet slip, of course, which would effectively shut me down). And they are right. People would build many, many stations. FF has 274 named stations built on SP6. Have no idea how many support and constructors they've built.
starport 6 still gives me the best pings and performance.
just wish more players would check it out more.
and thanx for the great service you provide janis.
JANUS. Your Efforts Are BOTH Appriciated and Admired. You Keep SP6 Maintained and Operating Well. You Have My PERSONAL THANKS As I Consider SP6 as PERMANENT a Server As Can Be Expected.
[LL] Clan has Approx 100 Stations and 2 Systems on SP6, though his May Change in the Near Future.

You realize that this would cut down on the number of star systems any one clan could own ... right?

You mean we may actually have to fight for territory? And that's a bad thing?

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
Thank you all for all the kind words. I'm just glad you guys are enjoying the server. Gives me a real warm glow to see a whole raft of people on at 1 time.:D:D:D
When USS went down the server file was handed over to the just starting Galactica so all the hard work wasn't lost - a good precedent methinks!
