    I can’t wait for my entire GPU to be used so I can’t steal money in a single player game.

      It shouldn’t have anything to do with client-side code.

      The universe infrastructure has a database now, that database now needs to track where money comes from and where it goes, so instead of saying you have a dollar and somebody else loses a dollar it says Bob sent you a dollar.

      Or for the ships, instead of duplicating a ship, you update the title record of the ship to say who the current owner is, with a history of all the previous owners.

        Thanks for the explanation. Your idea seems well thought out, my comment is out of place since I read Starfield as the name of the game.

        I actually only have a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of the game, since I read Starfield.

        It was originally meant as a joke.
