Oh! Well, in that case, I think something should be added to prevent multiclienting because I think it's just annoying.
/threadMmmkay, so the legitimate reason this needs to be removed. Audio is a huge drag on computer performance, and this lags the fuck out of Sol for less able computers if the user has the sound turned on in the game. Before I got my computer back I was playing on a less powerful system and the game trying to process all the audio files for the slaves warping in & out many times per second was enough to lock up the computer and usually crash it within seconds of entering Sol.
The argument that "no one plays with the sound turned on" is dumb, because I, as well as many others, do actually play with sounds on. In addition to this, all new players default to sound on. So when they make it to Sol a good number of them are going to have an unusable client because people like to be asinine and drop 30 slaves in Sol that aren't doing anything except warping.
This is a problem that will also continue to grow as the player base does. With more players, you are going to get more of the ones that spam the slaves for no reason, as well as people legitimately causing audio that will further augment the problem.
