if we get server wide factions
that wouldnt be possible
people dont want to add all people of a faction

because ask yourselve this

do you mind giving me your skype
because if you dont give it...

and in the commanding your fleet topic
the point of a faction controlling all their ships from a distance was almost a certainty
but how would a faction send coordinats to other ships

i think thats a mayor part

but i would see that that is for later if we succeed in making a large server network

Normal chat could be planet/ship/station-wide, planet-planet might require a computer or comm device of any sort, server-server could require a hyperspace relay sooper foocher spess machine. Just give those that don't want to chat over skype a way to communicate.

Frost isn't saying server travel is not wanted, he's saying it would be hard. Also, limiting chat to specific places without an item seems dumb, because some people will never use that item and just use skype, giving them an advantage. I say server chat.

I think we should keep normal chat, but perhaps inter server PMs, but most people will just use Skype or something.

And Keon, I can't believe you didn't know KISS was a band.
