I think this is a real shame, I see hypergrid as an essential function and I think a lot of others involved the OS community feel the same way. I would love to try to start my own Aurora based grid, but without HG its a non-starter. I think until Aurora has HG as a possibility again, it will stay uninteresting to most. I am encouraged to see you think getting OSSL and NPCs implemented is a good idea.
"But like I said, I would like people to sell stuff in open grids and over the hypergrid, i just know it is not going to happen anytime soon."
I guess you mean in regard to Aurorasim? Because Kitely have plans for a HG marketplace and that goes live next month from what I hear.
