This definitely sounds like something CCP could take advantage of. More throughput and data bandwidth to the servers could never hurt. While it's not the ultimate solution to the single threaded backend of EVE, it could probably help out the hamsters quite a bit and possibly spare a couple of them from dying of exhaustion.

Just a thought, but think of the hamsters CCP, think of the hamsters.


Erh no?

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

CCP can save their server hamsters very easily,

1: buy a human sized wheel,
2: connect it to the server as a powersource
3: put CCP Dolan in the wheel
4: shoot him with a paintball gun when he slows down

No it won't.

Such an elaborate reply.
Do tell, why no?


In regular Universe, a solar system is hosted on a Node that runs a number of other solar systems.
In special cases (Jita and on-request reinforced nodes), a system is placed on a dedicated node.
Node = single machine (hardware).
Fiber connector you linked is for transferring data between machines/servers (i.e. between nodes)
When CCP's hamsters are struggling and dying, that happens on a single node, cause the the node cannot handle the processing power required.
There is no bottleneck in transfer of information between nodes.
