README must be present for build, but isn't used

Ideas here

• Faction leaders drop bunkers instead of players creating cities.
• Constantly overt
• Battle for planetary control

Things to investigate:

• Can they be instanced?
• Can they be tiered?

Dropping buildings with requirements at the door that can be used as hunting areas.

We could either modify exp to a higher ratio or we could start with one master class. The idea being that you want to be able to start a game where the bulk of it is played. It's also worth noting that new players do not want to come to a server where they just have to grind the same old builds out again.

Does Lok and Dantooine really need houses on them? Could these planets have cooler ideas attached to them?

idlc path is hardcoded to /usr/local/bin, it's not enough for it to be present in $PATH

It's currently not possible to make the server a daemon using tools like sysvinit or the newer systemd. Initial experiments to force the current codebase to do so resulted in failure due to the system's reliance on input from stdin to do things like proper shutdown.

I think the proper solution to this is to change https://github.com/subtle-supernova/Core3/blob/unstable/MMOCoreORB/src/server/ServerCore.cpp from a loop that listens to stdin to a loop that listens on a socket. This not only allows us to use a proper init script but will allow us to create more diversified tools for communicating with the server.

Super classes would be classes that are along the same power level structure as Jedi but for different play styles. There are many epic ideas in the star wars universe and they could be used to our advantage.

This would be to create a new build toolchain for our barebones server that does not require Vagrant and Virtualbox to setup a VM for the server. This will also include easily deploying new code and rebuilding the server.

Ideally we would want to implement an abstraction that allowed easy switching of databases. This doesn't seem terribly possible in C++ so just having Postgres instead of MySQL is a start.

Giving a more level specific feel to planets. You can explore at any time, but you may die if you are not supposed to be there.

Things that are needed by SWGEmu devs/Bas devs but are not needed by us. This is important for freeing up space on our limited server to keep server costs cheap during development/testing.
