With the announcement of the star conflict shutdown, there is limited time to prepare the groundwork for a future private server for star conflict. currently, there are little to few people with technical knowledge interested in preserving the game. however, there is a ton of grunt work to be done.

The creation of a private server consists of 3 main stages:

1. Packet capture
   during this stage, people install internet packet capturing software to intercept incoming game packets and record them. the idea here is to do literally every possible activity in the game, so that all possible internet packets are captured. you can use a packet sniffer program like Wireshark to accomplish this.
2. reverse engineering
   this is the stage that requires knowledge and coding. essentially the skeleton of the server code must be understood and worked out using the captured packets from step one
3. rewriting a custom server
   once all packets are properly understood and reverse engineered, a custom server to run the game can be made. 
   If you know anyone with knowledge on this subject and a potential interest to preserve star conflict, please direct them here with this link:
