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:
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“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)
