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

COMMAS MULTI, COMMAS!!!

a few more screenshots where the scouts gets in formation to jump, it will take atleast a few more hours until i have images of them jumping

why is there a huge wrinkle in your formation?

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

its because the last few ships are getting into formation.



Aye Aye, and when we rule the world you all shall use periods... PERIOD

phew! I was beginning to worry about those periods, but if you have to invade first... I feel much better now.  

we can always count on the french for a preemptive surrender

and multi, 10k lvl 3 Sovas! GOGOGO!!!

alternatively, set raze planet and planet bombard dmg to 0 and get 10k marzas with raze planet

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

We've improved this a lot. Hopefully some of it will make it's way into beta 4.

LOL some bugs are quite funny

The European and thus the right way:

100'000'000.00



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

ah, but you see The Way of Europe, does.

grammar grammar grammar!

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

LOL
oh, so not funny...


ok, I just request that you try and blanket the center planet in full 360.

how do i do that? tried different movements on/around the planet but i cant seem to get them to cover it

Blanket it with Krosovs, then have them open fire.

  

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 wonder how many ships it will take before the game crashes.

hmmmmmmm interresting...


*kneels down befor the TheGreatEmperor*
You thought me well my master


actually i think about 20k at a sector is more or less the limit as i were getting screen flickers and c++ errors at times.

omggg, thats what i said with marzas and everyone ignored meeee

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!!!

eets you copied me, you loon.

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.

hey....can you make all those ships different kinds....split evenly i mean...and can you have them in a battle/......lol....plz......differen angle screenshots too if u can manage it

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


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
