I would love to see a blog post describing (at a high level) the network and server infrastruture that goes into running STO.
I don't expect a call-by-call account of the start-up, authentication and authorization processes that take place. But and idea of what is required to host an MMO and taking place behind the scenes.
Yes, this is in part due to the problems that have been occuring and the frustration that people have been feeling with the downtime. But I also think there are a lot of tech-savy people who play STO and would be interested.
I doubt it will happen. There is a belief in "security through obscurity". Or "proprietary secrets" getting out. But with the movement of Devs and TechPro from company to company, I'm sure the different game companies know quite a lot about each other.
Here's hoping.
