* EVENT: 'Developer Chat' event is starting now...
* [-GTN-]SkyLander has entered the room...
19:03:46 [Admin]Dr Evil: "thanks for coming everyone, we'll get the meeting started here as soon as faustus arrives"
19:04:01 [Admin]Faustus: "I'm here.."
* [Admin]Faustus broadcasts "DEVELOPER CHAT is now starting... just join the Developer Chat room in the main lobby"
19:05:56 [Admin]Faustus: "welp... FYI... I'm finally back to work on 1.481, after many days tweaking/watching the new billing system..."
* [Admin]TheEvilGriffin begins applauding [Admin]Faustus...
* Coleen begins applauding [Admin]Faustus...
19:06:47 Gideon: "And the peasents rejoice!"
* [-GTN-]SkyLander turns off the applaud sign
19:06:53 [Admin]Faustus: "anyway, to everyone... once I get done with my ranting about what I'm working on... whisper your questions to one of the admins or moderators, please don't whisper directly to me... "
19:06:55 Gideon: "...huzzah..."
19:07:00 [Admin]Faustus: ";)"
* [Admin]Samweis thinks he will better hide then 
19:07:35 [Admin]Samweis: "j/k"
19:07:40 Gideon: "Don't whisper to me, as I may not be in the room at the time."
19:08:07 [Admin]Faustus: "anyway.... as you may know from the last dev meeting, the big coding project is the UniverseServer... basically, a central server to link all the game servers into a single universe ... "
* [MODTALK] [Admin]Dr Evil @38885 Sent "afk for a few, something burning downstairs...."
19:09:19 [Admin]Faustus: "I'm still working entirely on the UniverseServer at the moment, as you might guess it's a big change in the code... and I want to be very careful and get it right the first time, because basically I'm trying to keep support for Scenerio servers... while adding the new functionality needed to make DS truely scalable.. "
19:10:17 [Admin]Faustus: "by scalable... I mean, no limits to players in a certain star system for example... a truely distributed system, whereas the load can be distributed accross multiple processes/machines... "
19:11:19 [Admin]Faustus: "the most important feature the universe server will provide... is allow you in-game to view ALL of your fleet's planets, manage them, even watch a battle occuring around one of your planets accross the universe.."
19:11:37 [MUTED] Naufragus: "hoooray"
19:12:04 [Admin]Faustus: "anyway... I'm done with my rant... let the asking of questions begin "
19:12:17 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Quick ques"
19:12:35 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "with the scalability can the amount of ships be pumped up on the screen?"
19:12:55 [VA]Wicked Ice ={NuKe Squad}=: "so basically it asks the concerning servers about the data and redirects it to the player? looks like alot of bandwith "
19:13:07 [Admin]Faustus: "@sky... well, hopefully in the end, the real limit will be your hardware... and the number of polygons you can render per frame.. "
19:13:24 [Admin]Faustus: "@sky.. not a network/server limitation.."
19:13:39 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Oh"
19:13:50 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "ALso have a question sagitter wanted me to ask"
19:13:57 [Admin]Faustus: "@wicked... this shouldn't be much more bandwidth than now.. "
19:14:07 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Is coming out of a jumpgate do you still ho out randomly?"
19:14:07 [~L~]Armand: "9749"
19:14:18 [~L~]Armand: "lol sorry guys"
19:14:30 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "come out randomly*"
19:14:47 [Admin]Faustus: "@wicked... out of system updates will be on-demand only, meaning only if you look at a star system, will you get information on it.. otherwise you will get updates about planets in other star systems once every 30 min or so, atleast thats my currently line of thinking.."
19:15:06 [Admin]Faustus: "@wicked.. however, captured planets will be sent instantly... "
19:15:26 [VA]Wicked Ice ={NuKe Squad}=: "nice... ok understood, thx"
19:15:29 [Admin]Faustus: "@sky... you always come out of a JG in a random direction.."
19:15:41 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Thats what i thought"
19:15:55 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "but that was sagitters question anyways thanks "
19:15:55 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "why is that?"
19:16:09 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "* [{BSS}]-=Gogeta=- *R* whispered "Will you have to reset the MV for the new patch?""
19:16:13 [Admin]Faustus: "[MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "why is that?""

19:16:37 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "i see thank you"
19:17:08 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "with this universe server will there be lag between systems? like no responding jumpgate or hole?"
19:17:15 [Admin]Faustus: "@gogeta... most likely, this will require a MV reset... however, I think we may add many more new systems to the MV ... perhaps doubling the number of star systems.. and give some truely back-alley systems to explore and conquere"
19:17:28 [Admin]Faustus: "KIGR]smilingjester: "with this universe server will there be lag between systems? like no responding jumpgate or hole?""
19:17:40 [MUTED] [-GDI-]Evil Barthezzz: "YAY!"
19:18:05 [MUTED] Skully42: "Maybe this is not for here, but with the coming boxed version is it possible to earn prestige on a private server?"
19:18:17 [Admin]Faustus: "@smilinig.. the universeserver will FIX the getting stuck in JG issue... currently when you go from one server to another, the server has to write your ship/stash to the database, the other server tries to load it, any failure will cause you to get stuck... "
19:18:44 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "thank you"
19:19:11 [Admin]Dr Evil: "Skully42: "Maybe this is not for here, but with the coming boxed version is it possible to earn prestige on a private server?""
19:19:33 [Admin]Faustus: "@smiling.. the UniverseServer will not RELY on the database to save/load player data.. it will keep it in memory and write to the database when it can... if the DB goes down, it will try again later... "
21:09:39 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "Again players, PLZ whisper your questions to a Mod or Admin"
19:20:12 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "thank you"
19:20:37 [Admin]Faustus: "@skully... no, our experience with allowing that shows us that players would exploit the system if they could earn on private servers (i.e. setting a 1 player server)"
19:21:17 [Admin]Faustus: "@skully.. not to mention the ability for them to hack their stats.. "
19:21:56 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "couldn't we make it so that there is a minimum instead of a mazimum player setting?"
19:22:35 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "this way it could ensure the kill ratio as well as a defined at least 2 factions for each map"
19:23:03 Chromix: "Please WHISPER your questions to the Admins or Mods, not to Faustus directly, also DO NOT write into the normal chat. Thanks."
19:23:06 Gideon: "19:21:56 [MUTED] [KIGR]smilingjester: "couldn't we make it so that there is a minimum instead of a mazimum player setting?""
19:23:23 Gideon: "That would not prevent the issue of exploiting/hacking."
19:23:30 [Admin]Faustus: "NO... on private server prestige gain."
19:23:35 Gideon: "It would just make it so that more than one person has to do it at a time."
19:24:11 [Admin]Faustus: "I have to pay my bills... we don't get diddly from the retail release... "
19:24:32 [Admin]Faustus: "thats why DS is subscription based, because bandwidth and salaries costs lots of money.. "
21:14:43 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[{BSS}]-=Gogeta=- *R* whispered "Last time you mentioned that some systems would be hidden, how would you find them and could you build a faction exclusive gate to it?""
19:25:46 [Admin]Dr Evil: "shipyards Gogeta, in the next update"
19:25:50 [Admin]Faustus: "@gogeta... sounds like a good ideal... the ideal about players building jumpgates is still up the air however.. but we do plan to make many star systems hidden until the players discover a star system and it's planets "
19:26:31 [Admin]Faustus: "meaning... I like the ideal alot, I'm going to look to implement it into 1.481"
19:27:13 [Admin]Dr Evil: "when you join a game server, you can select the location you want to start at... home JG's or any shipyard your faction currently owns."
19:27:30 [-[A]-]Ramius: "Do platforms actually have to built around planets, like in orbit, or can they be built anywhere, & if they must be built in orbit, how many can be built?"
19:27:52 [Admin]Faustus: "[MODTALK] [VA]Wicked Ice ={NuKe Squad}= @17637 Sent "... well ... id sggest that some gates can be *locked* by a faction... or turned of... would be nice so ppl have to fly through nowhere to get into the system... btw... [Question] how would the Universe server display players, i mean at the moment every *friendly* player is on the radar map within the system... so would there be a *radius* or still as player per system?""
19:28:19 [Admin]Faustus: "@wickered... you should be able to see ALL ships in the entire universe.. meaning you can order some ships in the next star system to go do something.."
19:28:20 [Admin]Dr Evil: "planning on building one around a jump gate Ramius?  "
19:28:34 [-[A]-]Ramius: "no, i swear  "
19:28:36 [Admin]Faustus: "@ramius... no, you'll be able to build platforms ANYWHERE... "
* [-[A]-]Ramius coughs and backs into a corner...
19:28:52 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "With the new fighters coming is the limit on fighters per ship?"
19:28:57 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Or the entire server?"
21:19:23 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[-[A]-]Excaliber whispered "The subject of a scout/recon badge has been raised in the forums recently and with the possibility of haveing to find/scout systems in the MV is there a possibility of getting them ?""
19:29:32 [Admin]Faustus: "@sky... there will have to be a limit... It will prolly be a player based limit, meanign each player can have n fighters... "

19:30:08 [Admin]Faustus: "@excaliber... yes, it's very likely we will award scout points to someone who discovers a new planet.."
19:30:08 [Admin]Dr Evil: "a ship based control limit makes sense"
19:30:14 Gideon: "Sky, as I understand it, it's a server load issue, not a poly issue."
21:20:19 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[{BSS}]-=Gogeta=- *R* whispered "What is the limit of platforms per system?""
19:30:33 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Its a server load issue?"
19:30:36 [Admin]Faustus: "@gogeta... beta testing will determine the limit"
19:30:41 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "hm I thought it was graphics lag"
19:30:45 [Admin]Faustus: "same for fighter limits... "
21:20:52 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: " [VA]Wicked Ice ={NuKe Squad}= whispered "ugh... imaging that there are 60 icc guys online... how would the map look like? maybe implement a *radar range* to set the radius?""

19:31:55 Gideon: "Sky, there is some client side lag that we will hopefully be aleviating, but that is not the whole story."
19:32:12 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Oh ok thanks Gid"
19:32:16 [Admin]Faustus: "@barthezz... once 1.481 is out, I think we will get alot of new weapons/devices into 1.482... light disruptors sound like a solid ideal"
19:32:31 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "What about ship configurations?"
19:32:31 [MUTED] [-GDI-]Evil Barthezzz: "Wickedish"
19:32:35 [*TS*]Midnight: "Ive noticed alot of my lag on this high end machine is caused by the explosions espeicaly the larger ones and near buy.. could you look into the poly counts for those and try to reduce them ?"

19:33:14 [-GTN-]SkyLander: "Ok"

20:09:01 [KIGR]Aubinator: "what about a deathstar type wepon ONLY on a planet or moon that you are able to fire at enemy planets when they get too close.. not DESTROYING THE PLANET but eliminating everything on it, like a thousand Bio Bombs dropped on each square surface (big bandwidth needed I know) A Genesis!""
