Heh, thanks for this. I got 2 questions though:
1. When the ships are like that, are they just moving between planets? Im confused, don't you have to phase jump to get between planets?
2. So you modded it to get this many ships, this is exactly what I was talking about in the other thread regarding the cap. This has just allayed all my worries, as you just prooved its possible
3. (ok so I lied, 3 questions not 2 ). What does disabling the UI do? What do you actually see if you do that?

hehe your welcome

1. phase jump happens automatically when you exit a gravity well to go to another planet, asteroid/belt, the sun ect.

2. Blair even said it would be possible for 100.000 ships, just 10.000 at each planet ill try it soon

3. Disabling the UI means that we are just removing the control panel so to say, its good for screenshot

why is there a huge wrinkle in your formation?
COMMAS MULTI, COMMAS!!!

Europeans are wierd, they switch the use of period vs. commas in their number descriptions

the European way
100.000.000,00

the RIGHT way
100,000,000.00

you know, I bet you could use a derivative of this engine to simulate atomized fluids... like a cascade of tennis balls, or something.

cept it would take half an hour for a tennis ball to find its way around another one -.-

(i know that didnt really make all that much sense, was mostly just to complain to the devs about capships getting stuck when they try to go around things, specially roids

The European and thus the right way:

100'000'000.00



Just as a reminder that The Europe doesn't exist.

Ive add 10.000 more ships to the system so the number is now 20.368 ships

also i think im reaching somekind of limit for a system, as the game starts to flicker and at times i get a c++ error.

Anyways im impressed

Is betting everyone at ICO not good enough for ya Multi?

You have to have the biggest fleet too?

And I thought I had a big ego...



Just kidding.

I can't be bothered to think why...

Spread it over a system, lets see if the devs 100,000 estimate is plausable.

Oh, and it seems no one can beat my old record of 25k, come people, I only had 1 million worlds to work with!!

I know you can do the same with a dozen!!!

ah, the few things that Emp thinks, and he comes up with you?

I doubt it, at that point the sheer number of calculations done simply to recognize the existance of a ship... I think that at this point data simply would be too big not to degrade to the point where, well, C++ errors occur.

this was just a test to see how far the engine would go.

nd can you have them in a battle/......lol....plz......differen angle screenshots too if u can manage it

sorry no can do, it already takes several hours just to move them, so getting them into enemy territory would take days if not longer. But i agree it would be cool to watch

Ill try later on and do a 1000 vs 1000 ships instead

edit:

just added the 20.368 savegame for those who wanna test it
