It would be a great thing, if this project would be become a 100% finished old source code.... i mean there are things what is missing, chat, fleet, random explorations, buggy quests(Ton of them but can be finished thro console) ect... but it is around 80% it is almost playable well and flawless... if i should guess, but i have to mention that are some parts are missing(not even coded) so it could be hard to make it, not to mention the hard part of compiling... I am totally supporting the thing but i have to mention that i can only program in Delphi, and HTML/PHP, so, if i can i will help...
And yes, we need more space game like this, my old, big dream most likely wont ever be complete, a cryptic/nexon(dunno wich one) game too the City of heroes/villains, always demons, orcs, gandalfm samurais and others XD i had enough of them... but this STO is a bit relife for it...
If i can help in something just yell..
The source itself would need a better DNS retargeting system(other than adding lines for lmhosts/hosts file...)
I belive the main goal is that the people would be able to make own server/customize code add objects custom things(like forge in STO but that part is missing too) that they can host, OBVIOUSLY not for money making purposes, just for fun and entertaining(if someone makes money out of it its his responsibility, since he was warned not to do it... they can be sued for it... and hey! its just an old code, if u try the latest STO you will realise that is changed sooo much that this is almost not even the same game XD) This is soo strict becouse since for example the WOW servers are emulated sources, this is not, it is the REAL code. So if you use it publicly, you can hit your ankle...
