  Hi everyone, I just joined the list because me and a friend are
  begining work on a space MMO. We are both in highschool and i know
  this will be alot of work so any help would be appreciated. It will
  be set in space and have 2d graphics. I'm looking at clans or
  corporations in the game being able to control planets and build
  space stations. Eventually i also want to implement a way that very
  rich people can create their own ships using some form of in-game
  ship editor. Other people will be able to get existing ships and
  modify them with new weapons, engines etc.
  
  I'm also looking at implementing some sort of production or
  manufacturing system but not sure how i will do that because i
  wanted to move away from the ,at least in my view, overused level
  system. The problem i see with this is that the very good players
  will simply buy new players the required equipment to produce stuff
  thus making them almost equal to other much more dedicated players
  who simply are playing on their own. Any solutions to this besides
  the overused ones?
  
  I was also thinking about making it so that your ships "officers" or
  whatever i end up calling them will gain expeciance of some sort
  while still avoiding levels. This would somewhat avoid the earlier
  problem with manufacturing but i wanted to make manufacturing mostly
  dependent on the player rather than his crew.
  
  I will be writing most of the client side in java but may use some
  C++ in there to optimize on the server side. This will allow lots of
  people to have access to the game while still making the server side
  fast. Any info on server side implementation would be useful because
  i know next to nothing about that.
  
  I was wondering if there were any good space MUDs out there that you
  guys might have heard of? So i could see how they work. Also any
  advice on this project or maybe good books, sites etc would be
  greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
