I'm asking Uber a "when" question but...

when huge galactic war between clans and groups

Ya would be a lot of fun to be able to go multiplayer/teams in Galactic War.

Or coop for a start as in always having your buddy as subcommander

Implementation question, how would tech be balanced?

(I like this idea)

Never, because the servers (Sim Speed) will never handle it.

I think he is referring to organizing normal multiplayer games in the style of galactic war (the little known 'campaign' mode that comes with the stock game), not having a huge galactic scale match being played.
But I could be wrong.

@jables is multiplayer GW on Uber's Radar? Would really be cool to have friends as subcommanders like @remy561 mentioned above.. It would create some interesting possibilities with tech sharing.

If this ever were to happen it most likely would not be shared armies,

Which automatically makes a resolution to have individual persons have individual techs therefore not causing a contradiction in what you can/can not build

With the problem that ai would either have to play twice as hard or with twice the number of ai s which lags the server really bad

If your buddies became sub-commanders then they would be a tech so they are a teammate not a sub-commander because people can not just *poof* be a subcommander

(But this is just if it was Co-op against AI...)

If it were multi-player huge galaxy system map (real time) then this would just be too much because Uber only has enough money to make asteroids. (donate to Uber please so the rest of us can enjoy the game and maybe yourself more ) Maybe if someone like @mikeyh is willing to make a mod for this...

Problems:
•People that don't have similar tech and have much more tech will
•Lag
•*waiting for other player from an enemy clan to select the same system as you...* on a galactic map
•People with more skill than you can ruin the entire game for you
•Galactic map has to get bigger every time a new clan is made or a clan has to re-spawn
•Many more maps have to be introduced (I'm more than happy to provide Uber with new maps that don't go too overboard)
•If this is introduced it will be the exact same thing as custom multi-player just with the techs (basically like a mod that allows 1 player to build something (see the Unit Selector mod on PAMM)) and another player can not while one player might have a better economy and another player might not
•Slot upgrades must be removed and there must be a certain amount of slots (more tech slots because new players will not be able to beat older players)

Sorry guys this isn't looking good D:

Maybe an ability draft?

when we get the hardware
