I thought you miss the economy Part, the Statistik Part, every Player
Trade, every Trade with Stations.

I think the projekt is need one Server which handle every Trade action
between Player/Station and Player/Player.

If you want to make this stuff over the Meta Server you loose much cpu
time for the webserver daemon, the php execution with the php and the
sql query.

Every Item which a Player buy, mine or sell, every money transaction all
the things have to send to an server, do you really want to do this
stuff over http? 

How a Client receive the information about the new Inventar? OK you can
send an Question to the meta server, but this have to execute the script
file again.

Meta Server:

Market Buy:
Client want to buy and catch the market information from the meta
server.

Client buy something and have to send the buy offer to the meta server,
meta server have to check price and amount and the cargo space from the
player and buy for the Client.

Client ask after the Result. Did I buy something? Did I have less money
now?

Player Trade
Client want to trade with another client.
client sends data to the meta server
How did the other client know about the trade? Meta Server didn´t send
anything to client, how the Trade can be complete? With an Timer?
Both Client send the offer to Meta Server but Meta Server can´t send the
trade back to the clients.


A Player killed in space, both Client´s send it to the Meta Server.
The Player who killed send that he have one more Kill or Bounty or
whatever to Metaserver.

The Player who killed send he is death, he loose money, which ship he
have. Where he going to respawn. And all that things. 


Isn´t it much easier to have an self coded Server for all this Network
Stuff?

Sorry but I think that is not the right way for a Projekt like this.

One Server which can send and receive messages have to handle the item
stuff, money stuff and skill stuff from the universe.

You can send stuff from php with the php socket (I code a small
Chatwebserver in PHP and a tcp client for a simple telnet script for a
teamspeak status script) but why anyone could use this when he able to
code an pure c++ server and client for all this things? It need to much
cpu time and memory when you do it over the apache daemon which you don
´t need when you code this stuff in pure c++.

Sorry :-/
