Admin Notice: Maximum value of a character - Cannon - 12-21-2009
Exact value = (2 to the power of 31) - 1

So far as I can tell, no character's ship and equipment should be worth more than a billion under any circumstance so another billion in cash is certainly feasible and that would still allow for commodities.
' Wrote:Exact value = (2 to the power of 31) - 1Yep, and that is 7FFFFFFF, thus exceeding it would be a buffer overflow.

And that's 2 147 483 647 - surprisingly.
There is something players can do about this - keep one's character rank at 89 or less.
One of other useful hints: store your cash on fighter characters, not cap 8 battleships.
Also storing multiple cap8 upgrades on one ship can get you to the limit kinda soon, but the resale of equipment is 25% iirc - so no-one will probably get corrupt by cap8s alone, but combined with other things it's pretty easy.
Edit - @Mere_Mortal: Buffer overflow? What buffer are you talking about?

' Wrote:I have 740 mil on a cap 8 juggernaut.If I understand completely, you can figure that out by doing
I didnt corrupt yet.

740 mil + ship/equipment resale value = total char value
next
2.1 billion - total char value = total space left
Can anyone confirm weither this is correct or wrong? thank you :P
I don't need to worry about this since i'm always broke anyway :crazy:

Can we get some math clarification about what, how and when?
Admin Notice: Maximum value of a character - agentmike - 12-22-2009
so the EXACT value at which everything a given character owns must be less than 2,147,283,647 credits?
got it
and thanks cannon.
will this ever be changed?
:D

This will never affect me.. never been over 1bil in credits on one char.

so if i understand, i could have cau8 + bs + 1 bil and everything is alright. I think its not hard to have 5 chars and store cache there. 1 trader, 1 bs, 3 fighters/bombers whatever so you can store about 9 billion cache. Not bad, why the hell i should have so much?:)i would rather give it to poor guys from liberty:D

Couldn't one solve the issue by say, cutting all prices in half or more? It would effectively push the limit from 2 bil to 4. Granted the actual value would stay the same, it would give people a lot of buffer zone so that they wouldn't worry about accidentally reaching the 2.1 limit.
