Server comparison

Dedicated Nuclear Option server vs self-hosted and public servers

A dedicated server stays online independently from any player.

💻
PC-hosted
Works for short sessions only
✗Server dies the moment the host quits the mission
✗Host hardware caps unit counts and map size
✗Lag spikes and warping during big combined-arms battles
✗No persistent Conquest campaign between sessions
✗Host has a latency advantage in every dogfight
✗No automated backup of your mission setup
PC hosting works for short sessions, but quickly becomes frustrating for groups.
★ Best choice
🏆
PingPlayers Dedicated
Best for long-term worlds and communities
✓Always online for 24/7 Conquest campaigns
✓Dedicated resources for full 16-player battles
✓Full control over maps, factions, and mission rules
✓No host advantage. Every pilot on equal footing
✓Built for heavy combined-arms fights and naval strikes
✓Automated backups of your server config, one-click restore
🌐
Public servers
Easy to join, hard to keep
✗Map rotation and rules controlled by strangers
✗Random admins can kick you mid-sortie
✗Custom missions you cannot load yourself
✗Player slots and settings locked by the admins
✗No dedicated resources for your squadron
✗Rubberbanding and desync during peak battles
Public servers can be fun to try, but rarely offer long-term stability or freedom.

About Nuclear Option

Nuclear Option is a combined-arms combat flight game developed by Shockfront Studios. Set in a fictional Cold War that never cooled, it puts you in the cockpit of Cold War-inspired jets, attack helicopters, and VTOLs fighting over a contested island world. It launched into Early Access in 2024 and quickly built a following for making serious air combat easy to pick up.

At its core, Nuclear Option is fast, accessible air combat with real combined-arms depth. You fly aircraft like the FS-12 Revoker, T/A-30 Cathlamet, and SAH-46 Chicane, running air-to-air intercepts, close air support, and anti-ship strikes. Ground armor, SAM sites, warships, and AI infantry all share the battlefield, so every sortie feeds a larger war. And when a frontline will not break, the namesake option is always on the table: a tactical nuclear strike.

Nuclear Option shines in multiplayer. Conquest turns a map into a living war where two factions push a dynamic frontline, and a private dedicated server keeps that campaign running whether you are flying or not. A casual co-op night might be a few pilots clearing ground targets together. A full 16-player PvP battle is a chaotic mess of dogfights, strike packages, and SAM traps. Whatever your squadron flies, a private dedicated Nuclear Option server gives you the slots, mission control, and uptime that player-hosted games never will. Your map. Your factions. Your rules.
