Yeah I see it as a "Well you got a bunch of gyros last pit stop. Pity they don't all link up to your guidance stuff" so you write a program to grab data from your gyros and headings from your heading input. You could still fly just fine using the default stuff but if you want say...constant attitude adjustment or the ability to have your ship not pick up unwanted spin you're going to have to deal with that yourself or trade with somebody who has already dealt with it.
Looks fun, I want to make a program that does orbit translations and stuff for you with minimum delta-v.
- coopdog 15y agoWould be fun to have a market for functions (literally programming functions) Let the original author keep the insides secret, maybe the protection decays over time (say a year) Sounds a lot like copyright but sensible and the false constraint is only to make the game fun : P
- mjmahone 15y agoThing is, you don't need to copyright: you could have people actually looking at the code, and those who can program things are still going to be able to profit off it. You don't want to give people a monopoly in an MMO. That being said, perhaps you have to buy physical disks to store the data on, which makes it slightly more difficult to virally spread a program. But like most information, once you have access to it you should be able to share it.
