About the simulation and multiplayer

[imazined]

After watching the stream with Jamie I remembered all the discussions about problem oft making ONI multiplayer.

One idea that would require a major overhaul for ONI but  that might be feasible for Away Team would be that the multiplayer sim would run only the computer of the host and the guest are basically using remote terminals into the running Away Team instance on the host's computer. So they get either a video stream or an abstracted description of the screen they are supposed to see and send actions like clicks or similar to the other model a more high level command structure.

Advantage of the more abstracted approach is a bit less work for the host and less networkt traffic because the host would only need to transmit changes for what's visible for the guest player.
