A star of stars to link the servers (probably a major space station as the central hub), and the connection from server to user is wireless, which means that anything but a star is nonsense unless relays are necessary for extended range. (Why retransmit if the server can receive directly?) Meshes make sense if the individual transmission range is low, which could be a feature rather than a bug if you want to keep the power requirements low or if you want to use the same frequency in many local 'cells', but with mature TL8 and less than a couple thousand wireless users within the area that is no problem. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l Stay connected to the people that matter most with a smarter inbox.
