I mean, how the hell do you get proof of hacking if the anti-cheat protection is so shitty that it doesn't even log when someone hacks, or even worse, the hackers can spoof user IDs so it looks like someone else is doing the hacking?
A private hive would allow me to not only make the server a lot more secure, but also run a lot more stable with a lot less desync, due to the fact that the server doesn't have to send any data to a remote Hive. The only problem is, Rocket doesn't condone private hives, and blacklists IPs that run them. If he ever changes his mod code so that it cannot be run in conjunction with a private hive, we'd lost the server entirely.
