Just dropping a note to everyone, letting them know whats going on with the code currently...
I just finished up a major overhaul of the Verb class code and how they are handled. Originally, verbs were stored in a queue and executed one by one, they contain all the events that can occur in game. Each verb had a target object (i.e. VerbControl was for controlling your ship), however one problem in a distributed system was that when I transfered a object from one server to another, I had to worry about getting the verbs over to the other server as well intact... same story applied to clients. What I did, was make verbs a child object of their targets... in other words, I attach the verbs to the object they are going to affect. Now if a object gets moved from a server to another, it's verbs get moved automatically now.
This was a pretty major change, and very tedious, as I had to fix all the verb classes to work in the new system. We have something like 50+ verb classes 
Additionally, I've moved all AI to the server side. When you command your ship to orbit a planet, that AI is now running server side and you should no longer run into planets because of lag or other issues.
I've now moved onto addressing the sync issues, which is one of the last major task to finish up on this version. I'm running into problems keeping a ship position
I will keep everyone posted...
