    I am thinking since Starbound devs are never going to do it, that one could use a SQL data base kinda like arma 2 does to save character data. You can direct a game to a different location already for character data, so it seems to me if we could figure out how to tell it to grab it from a sql, and how to get Starbound character files into SQL form it would work? Any one with actual program writing have any useful tips? Or reasons why this wouldn't work?

    Arma 2 had no character saving at all, or world saving, which starbound already does, seems to me that should make it easier.

    Or the next question is how come the server can have server side worlds, in the universe file but not server side characters?

    There's gotta be a way

    Sorry pal, to my knowledge this is impossible, it would require chucklefish to drastically alter the game engine and to add tonnes of server space for hosting which will cost money. Both things are highly unlikely alone, together impossible I'd say.
