Distant Empires
Distant Empires is basically an online version of Star Control 2. This will not include hyperspace, but wormholes on the edges of the system to allow ships to transfer from one solar system to another. This will allow people to build barricades and defend at key points. Each Solar System is hosted on different computers, so the size of the galaxy is dependant on the amount of computers hosting this program. I am planning on people chosing a race when they login, and if all players are chosen, then they are just not the main race (causes war for leadership) Since people can login later, this game should not end.

So far, I got the hard parts in already. Internet Communication is next, and wont need to be quick. I have not designed the client program yet, but it will be designed soon. I am going to make my Melee Online program work with this program, when I can figure out how to get an accurate melee without a server (Could use Help Here)
