Jon002 and Jonny/SelfStyledMythran are working on NPC’s and a whole load of background systems, so you are correct in a very broad sense. We’re just at a point were we need to introduce data into the server that is not loaded or sent by the client, but must be queried from different files. This requires us to do a lot of groundwork and design decisions, before we can fully move on to NPC’s and then missions I guess. We would also like to have a roadmap, but at the moment nobody can really tell what to write in it. That’s why its a kind of unspoken consensus because it’s the base for most things down the line.

Thanks for including a statement that you acknoledge what has been done. As weird as it seems with the statement included, without it I might have removed the topic. And you only ask for the next/current thing which is completely fine as it just shows interest in development. If you would like to look at the code yourself, head over to UniverseServer on Github.
