If my 165MB saved game contained only one solar system, and a moderate density sector contained 25 solar systems, that sector would only be 4GB in rough numbers.
In fact, that 165MB file contains all the building and ship designs in the solo design exchange (all designs by Haxus). It also contains all of the solar systems in all of the perimeter sectors to the explored sectors, plus the perimeter sectors, and all twenty one galaxies.
The data load is not that heavy.
I do believe a single computer could host a small scale game for a few people. More CPU cores help.
Thank you, that's extremely helpful. So self-hosted is absolutely in the realm of possibility. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Hazeron Starship and the future of the MMO.
