Been sort of tossing this idea around in my head for a while, but is it even technically possible
to have a MMO esque or similar style "hub lobby" for players to connect in - as a part of FSO?
Don't mis-understand, I'm not nearly nuts enough to be making that a request, I'm just interested
in the potential of it. If something like one is even possible within the constraints of scripting and what
else we have here. Opening discussion on the idea.
I suppose my main inspiration besides old clan starbases and fiction, was how Trenched did their hub-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8DSyDKbQPc&feature=player_detailpage#t=536sI was interested in the ability to have your friends and their mechs show up as they joined you. There's quite a bit
of other features hidden there, but essentially it's a stand in for what we'd use as the mutliplayer lobby.
What I was thinking of, is more along the lines of a hanger/control room, similar to the FS2 menu environment, where your ship
and a basic character would arrive. then you could launch to a mission, etc...
So before the torches and pitchforks are brought out, thoughts?
