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:
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“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)
