Farce Majeure

@danderson does sound (from your description) that it relies on faster-than-light out-of-band communications.

Farce Majeure

@danderson (and in fact it sounds like it's faster-than-warp as well)

@vathpela Elite isn't really a hard sci-fi world (e.g. ships have "arcade" flight mechanics not true orbital mechanics), so I don't know that it comes up much. But yes, the world of Elite features FTL travel, and I think canonically also FTL communication. I mean empirically obviously since there's the fuel rats IRC and discord channel, but I think in-game there's also some amount of canon FTL comms.

@vathpela@better.boston @danderson@hachyderm.io which is canonically a thing! "multiplayer" involves you projecting yourself into the seat of somebody else's ship to control it.
