Few weeks back I've mused possibility of gathering complex data (player, position, ship, items, timestamp) from server for analytics, with goal of measuring how playerbase reacts to changes in mod or rules thus enabling community to cut "my opinion vs your opinion" for sake of real data, like how we do with people using our webapps at work.
Do you think your API could eventually be used for that?
...alternativelly just feeding it to graphana for some fancy vanity dashboard.
