There are no plans to make multiplayer or online versions of any of the 
Escape Velocity games. The question has been discussed to death, and the 
results include the view that the game produced would lose most of what makes 
the series unique, and be an incredible amount of work to develop. The 
developers of Escape Velocity are also not at all confident that a 
multiplayer version would in fact be fun.
