Well, actually I also had some plans in creating something like different=
 player groups. But what I had=20
in mind where only some differences in opacma. What i was thinking of was=
 something like an other menu=20
(instead of the player menu which you can see if you click on "ACCOUNT") =
which allows you to create=20
transport missions. So we could create a player group which consists of t=
ransport companies who are=20
looking for private space pilots who transport the stuff they need to bri=
ng from A to B in little=20
packages. And I also thought about something like faction leaders. 1 for =
solrain, 1 for octavius and 1=20
for quantar which are responsible for new building operations. Something =
like if we finished developing=20
the first few sectors with the wake station (for example) and the solrain=
 deport the faction leader=20
starts a new building operation and says "we need 10 000 units of metal t=
o build a new stargate in=20
solrain depot sector. so he gives missions to transport companies and tho=
use transport companies give=20
missions to players to transport metal from wake to depot and if thouse 1=
0 000 units are transported we=20
release an update for the game which has this new jumpgate and also the n=
ew sector which the jumpgate=20
links to.

But i must say that every change in the original game jumpgate could make=
 opengate better but it could=20
also make opengate worse. Maybe a plain clone would be the safest.

and also all chat logs and stuff like that. the idea of the meta server i=
s to have something central=20
which provides every required data. This makes it also possible to have f=
ull intergration of the website=20
in the game. You could for example look on the website where the other gu=
ys of your clan are (in which=20
sector, in which ship and so on) or make some searches in some old chat l=
ogs of some channels which you=20
have never been in. Of course private messages (wispering) will only be a=
ccessable to thouse 2 dialog=20
partners if they logged in.
