Technology
DarkSpace uses a back-end called GameCQ. GameCQ is similar to Blue Byte's portal software, the Blue Byte Game Channel, due to Richard Lyle having written much of the latter.
According to Lyle "a process/server handles one star system, then those star systems are linked by jumpgates to form the metaverse. The metaverse can be grown as our player base expands simply by adding additional hardware and servers. However, everyone is connected to our central server, which is used for player to player communications and other functions".

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
