Long-term, is the goal for the server to be the authority on combat decisions rather than trusting the client?

Thanks for the answer to the questions. Knowing the direction of the networking architecture would help the community better understand future improvements.

I have a few questions regarding the game's networking, future anti-cheat plans, and hit registration.

First: Is the game fully server authoritative, or are there still areas where the client is trusted for movement or gameplay decisions?

• Does the server perform the hit detection?

• Are there plans for lag compensation/server rewind to improve consistency?

Regarding hit registration:

Are there plans to move toward fully server-authoritative combat, where the server validates shots before applying damage?

Specifically:

• Does the server validate fire rate, ammo, player state, and shot origin?

Has the team considered any form of "affiliation" system for confirmed cheaters?

For example, players who repeatedly group with known cheaters receiving escalating penalties after investigation.

• Movement states (walking, running, jumping, falling, vehicles) so the server knows what actions are valid• Better protection against exploits involving locked areas or unauthorized access

@sandthegame Post 4

Are there plans to improve movement validation around vehicles and player states?

Examples:

• Ships having their own movement system so players inherit ship movement correctly

• Detecting impossible movement (teleports, flying, extreme vertical movement, instant XYZ changes)
• Server-enforced floor/ceiling limits unless a player has a valid reason to exceed them

[PsymoGaming @PsymoGaming]

@sandthegame Post 2

Are there plans to expand server-side movement validation and anti-cheat protections?

For example:
• Server-enforced movement limits (walk/run speed, jump height, jump count, acceleration)

[PsymoGaming @PsymoGaming]

@sandthegame Are you adding any of the following:
Enforcing server-side movement limits (max walk/run speed, jump height/count, acceleration, etc.)

Validating impossible movement (teleports, flying, extreme vertical movement, instant XYZ position changes)

@davetron Local game shops are price gouging spiritforge, I thought you guys were against lgs's scalping your product. MINMAX in Addison IL is advertising selling for $220 because they said they know scalpers who will buy it regardless of price for resale. How is this allowed?
