Will Endless Space always use the Steam Lobby servers for multiplayer, or will support for LAN games be added at some point? I searched the forum but have yet to find anything related to this.

lan support would be awesome, and i can pretty much guarantee sales from it! as a LOT of people would buy games if they can play it with friends at a lan.

I'd sign a petition if there was one. LAN is a nice alternative to overloaded steam servers.

Direct Connection over TCP/IP should also be considered. There are times when the Steam servers are just too slow and every player would benefit from a direct connection to the person who's hosting. Also, back in the day games always had Direct TCP/IP besides their"Lobby"-function because lets face it, It always has been faster.
