Ahhh now I unsterand your Network Plans!

You don´t want that anybody who will host this Game to host it own game,
the target is that anyone who want to host, host a Part of the Game and
do host some old or some new sectors?

One Metaserver many Sector Server?

Then are there more Galaxies? More Server Stations like the sol core or
quant core?

When this are the Plans some Questions:
1. Who control the growing?
2. Are the new sectors only unregulated space?
3. What about economy?
4. Who control the balance? A new Sector with many ai Enemys (something
like  Pulsar) should not be for a hosters door that he can level easy
and fast which another player could not do because the Server Owner rape
anyone who will try to use this Sector with his Squad.

I am right and that are the Plan?

I have an dedicated Server on the net and I am willing to give some cpu
time, bandwith and harddisk space for this projekt.

Whoever are the "Lead programmer" for the net stuff can receive an user
account, i am new here, i don´t know you ppl very much, but later when I
know you ppl better this ppl can receive the root login too if he need.

I will help where I can, but first I have to learn! ;-)

Can anyone type somthing about the Projekt Plans? I can´t find this
anywhere.
