Technical Info

The Metaverse, unlike the Scenario game mode, is actually a group of game maps linked together via JumpGate's. These maps are what you see as constellations in the game, and how we divide the server load to ensure the game runs as smooth as possible, as each constellation is actually its own server. Each server is mapped to its own core to ensure a heavily loaded server does not impact the others, allowing for players to spill over into another server should gameplay become affected to the point where we have to disallow further logins to that particular node.

When we create a map, each transfer JumpGate is given a linking name. Upon server bootup, each server will constantly poll the other servers under the same name to see if it contains a map with the destination transfer JumpGate. When this is done, the JumpGate's allow transfers between the servers which allows us to have a much larger map than previously possible. It is worth noting that a transfer JumpGate, although identical to normal JumpGate's, does not function in the same way. A transfer JumpGate that cannot find a destination source will act as a HomeGate and allow players to gate their ships by entering it.
