Stronger Factions

[Coin]

Aye, each faction roster would be....well 10-20 players on for a single faction is Huge by the games standards i guess.

err... i have 20 active and over 100 inactive members in the WT. Was an error of scale on my part.


But it got me thinking:

Judging by the number of people who are registered on the disco forums, i estimate we have 30,000 players, with approx 8-10 characters per player, equating to 240,000-300,000 possible characters.

Oh how i wish we could turn off the npcs and have 20,000+ players online at once.

When you fly out in space, the game engine spawns random npc contacts. If this was turned off, we could have a fully player-based game, as the server wouldn't lag out so much when we hit the player limit.

gimme source code nao!
