There is not a lot of information about the exact specification of the multiplayer system. But if you type in multiplayer in the search box above you will find it has been talked about a lot.

There are many questions that have been asked, with answers that are a little vague but it might give you an idea.

Also www.mpssclan.co.uk is an online multiplayer site dedicated to shipsim which has been started by a chap here known as DJM.

Any more than that, I can't help you much at the moment.

Yes. There will be a free multiplayer patch for those who have bought the game. Please read the FAQ:

"Multiplayer
Probably in the last months of this year a free patch will be provided to give the player multiplayer functionality."

Yes, but it is possible to copy and distribute ilegal key codes. Which is why Vstep have been very clever with their copy protection. I'm afraid I can't repeat the piracy prevention systems that they have in place, but anyone who tries to use a fake keycode will be 'unable' to do so. Permenantly.

Modern keycodes are a complicated set of algorithms and there are systems in place to automatically catch and prevent ilegal keycode use. Again, I can't repeat what I was told.

Apart from the theft aspect of pirated software, it can b****r your system big style. so PLEASE remember everyone do NOT give your keycode to anyone- even close friends/family... Piracy=lower sales. Lower sales= no addons, development etc.

Post by: Stuart2007 on August 06, 2007, 01:18:46: I can't believe I've acually had PMs asking my to reveal how the anti-piracy system works.

Look, using ANY pirated software is a big risk- do you really TRUST anyone who pirates software? Are they generally trustworthy people. No, of course not. End of.

Please tell me your joking now, mate..... :'(
This can't be happening, right?

On-topic: MultiPlayer sounds very good, it could get very interesting on the servers! Hopefully most people will be serious, and not crash into others all the time...
