    I am a 107% certain its been asked before but for the next update I would like to see BeamMP integrated into BeamNG, to remove the need for separate launcher and make the experience more "vanilla". As far as I know beamMP team is under BeamNG team so it wouldn't be to hard to do. Maybe we can get this in the next update. Have a great day all!

    This would probably never happen, if BeamNG were to make a multiplayer mode they'd make it themselves.

    BeamMP team has nothing to do with BeamNG team and the mod constantly causes issues with the main game so I imagine the devs don't like this idea at all

    well yes but it might be just me, but multiplayer really does fit into this game and makes for a ton of fun. About beamNG and BeamMP teams being connected... Idk where but I heard it somewhere. I should probablly do my research. Still my idea is cool.

    KISSMP is less invasive and better overall

    I mean, KissMP works for Linux users but it also doesn't fit as well into the game UI.

    The game isn't built for any mod's UI, they're not part of the game. No crap it doesn't fit in lmao

    Integration into the game is more a matter of backend functionality, and BeamMP would be one hell of a spaghetti code to keep functional

    BeamNG would have to juggle even more online moderation and also their own server upkeep. I doubt this will ever happen. I also think it would affect the game's ratings due to online interaction so game review boards would have to re-evaluate the game if multiplayer were to be officially implemented

    I dont think that BeamMP will ever be integrated into the main game. If the devs ever will implement a multiplayer then likely their own. However beammp got over 80k active players and multiple thousands of servers that play and popup over the course of a month. With that comes alot of responsibilities. Security and functionality wise. All of this is kept alive by a team of developers, a mathematician, a security specialist and a sum of Staff members that all spend their free time to make this happen. We even got 70k more dc members then the official beamng dc.

    All this takes a ton of work, a high sum of money, weekly meetings and constant moderation to keep up and working. No one earns money here, its all dedication and love for the game and community. With every mayor update that gets released the dev team works non stop to deliver a new working BeamMP release that has to work for everyone. There are so many different computers and systems that players use and therefore have to be considered when developing any part of the mod, so things will break. The thing that players dont understand when they say that KissMP is better is that the KissMP team doesnt have to deal with such a sum of players because they got about, what i heared and seen, just a hundred active players (someone correct me here if im wrong). If something breaks there it isnt a huge deal, while if that happens over at BeamMP then that affects alot of players.

    If BeamNG does put a multiplayer into the game then it will cost them a lot of workforce, also because official implementations come with higher quality requirements for the community - the community expects a higher quality multiplayer then any mod can provide. Im not sure if they really will, with the multiplayer mods getting better and better.

    Im very happy with what the BeamMP team put together so far. There are lots of communities surrounding the mod that specialise in every aspect of the game. From Racing, Rallying, Cruising, RPing, Offroading and what not. After all, BeamMP's success attracted a ton of players to the game which yielded a crap ton of money to BeamNG - which in return tells BeamNG that a multiplayer is a good thing to have, esspecially because it allows for activities that are in SP not possible.

    After all a Multiplayer is what lots of driving games made so successfull
