Transfer from single player to multi-player

I have been playing the single player of this game and I love it, I have built a couple of stations, done as many upgrades as possible to my ship and I am really enjoying the game.

I want to create my own dedicated server for my friends and I have a few questions.

1. If I make a dedicated server will all the single player stations I have made disappear in this new "universe"? If so is there a way to transfer the custom stations to the dedicated server (ie a file I can transfer to the server directory)?

2. I played on a "on the fly setup" server my friend made and when I connected it said he had a 256k connection (which he doesn't he has a fiber connection) and only recommended that 4 players connect, is that a suggestion or a hard limit? Where would you change the connection type if it is wrong? What is the maximum number of players that could be connected?

The stations that you built in solo-play do not, to my knowledge/experience, transfer over to MP-space. Just your pilot profile(s) transfer between.

1. Not sure if this one can be done at all, even with "hacker mojo".

2. If your "on-the-fly setup" was within the standard game software MP set-up, you can toggle from a DSL/256K-4 players; to a T-1/LAN-36 players, from the MP set-up menu. Other considerations, I believe require the installation/launching of the actual game server software. Same selection offerings, or so I'm reliably informed. Your friend may have just had the 256k-4 player suite toggled on, and hadn't as yet toggled thru the other available hook-ups to "match" his hardware/i-net connxn.
