Speaking of rule enforcement, helping sysops better identify duping would help. While I was sysop'ing one of the last big tourneys, we had questions of duping, and so I wrote an app that parsed the twgs log for player IP addresses, and mapped those to LAT and LONG. If something like this were integrated, or offered as an add-on, it could alert sysops to a significant change in Lat/Long. It isn't an exact science, but usually pretty accurate.

I've been thinking about the old BBS style of play, and preventing PvP attacks... what would it take to make online players invisible to one another, emulating the "one player online at a time" style of play? Online players might have a 1hr time limit, and they are invisible to anyone else playing while online, but as soon as they log off, their ship becomes visible in the normal way. Even if they were visible in the Who's Playing list, and via comms, make them invulnerable to another player while online.

I digress a bit, but...
