When I first time played Nexus i saw no bugs ...
Anyway from what i remember the multiplayer is liek deathmatch indeed but even the official website offer a list of mods both MP and SP. I havent looked at them but maybe their existance says that there is alot that coul be moded. Maybe we can entirely change the MP. I mean most important is to get stations and make tem dockable and respawn option. Yes it dont sounds easy but maybe one of the mods already there might have those things up and running?
Maybe we can try and mod on our own.
