Both. As already mentioned, it has some caveats that need work because the state of the art has improved a bit. That doesn't mean that they screwed up when they wrote it.



Well, client/server netcode isn't exactly a breakthrough in technology. You have to ask the question why on Earth ED uses a mechanism whereby missile flight is calculated on every single client.......it can only ever mean that due to every client having different network overheads and performance then there are different missile flight coordinates being reported to the server. A 2 year old could see that is ridiculous and the more clients there are, the bigger the problem.
