| Topic | will we be able to have internet in space? |
| wolfy42 07/04/18 3:18:33 PM #9: | It does get a bit complicated though since the distance between the planets and location of the planets varies greatly. You can calculate it, and they already do that to control space rovers etc on mars....but for online games etc, this could cause a drastic difference in lag. Probably average something between 5 and 15 minutes delay. You could actually still play online games like that though, by using instances mainly. Instead of sending small amounts of data back and forth constantly, you send large amounts (which we can now handle) every 15 minutes. This would restrict you to partying only with people who are on your planet at the time, but you could still play on the same server as people on earth, and interact/trade with them in town etc. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly ...
