Support Deantwos IRC idea. Global chat and exchange would be nice addition to hazeron starship. This way people would have access to existing blueprints and be able to get support from in game. Exchange should be global only, no need for storing empire only blueprints and sharing with others. Running mail/chat/exchange/account server shouldn't be expensive. I believe simple PC is fully capable of that, given unlimited internet traffic.
LAN game could be done in different ways, where players can connect to each other universes through global chat, steam or game menu:
Through Steam P2P;
By connecting to internal LAN server which runs with client;
By connecting to dedicated LAN server which runs independently;
Last two methods are preferred, second one is more realistic right now, third one would be a nice addition, but it will require some verification, which could be done through steam too.
God-mode features would be nice for testing purposes.
I have some decommissioned PC with broken screen that lays on top of cabinet. With quad-core i5-3470, 8GB DDR3 ram and small SSD it acts as 1U dust collector and can run most game servers for small parties just fine. Hazeron Starship wouldn't be an exception
