Yesterday, I added code so that when a client connected to a server and picked a faction, they would automatically be redirected to the server with the homeworld for that faction. If a player belongs to a clan, then their faction is selected for them automatically, and the same result occurs.
I just fixed a bug in which the client would try to go through the jumpgate, then be redirected back to the home system for their faction.
I've just added code to support a persistant server, every 30 seconds the state of the game is save to disk in the local directory of the server. If the server crashes or restarts because of an update, it will reload this save file and continue where it last left off.
