There shall be DARKNESS!! 41,000+ ships (lots of images) + savegames (v1.04 testing)

This is a testing, im trying to beat my previous record. check out 20.368 ships test from beta 3.

+ means there are more, but the number you see is whats at the current system when the screen is taken.


10,543+



16,883+






27,388













32,029+










41,000+
no images

Here the savegames i promished, more to come as i get the auto saves renamed.

Savegames with:
32,000+ ships
31,000+ ships
29,000+ ships
28,000+ ships

NOTE:
- No need to mod any files.
- with the 10k+ its recommended that you set your graphics really low and work your way up from there.
- It can also be a good idea to pause the games ASAP and press ctrl+shift+z to gain better FPS.
- expect long load times of 5-10min
- not recommended for 133mhz PCs

Forecasters in your area are complaining because the heat from your computer is screwing up the local weather.

All I can say is.. wow...

The possibilities of this game engine, well... I'm guessing they're waiting for the general gaming populace to catch up hardware wise so they can go crazy with it :)

Heh. Can just see a conversation by the pirates.

"Yo ho, yo ho! A navigator. Fresh fer the takin, boys!"

"Ah, beggin' yer partner cap'n, but thar's ten more of em."

"More booty! It's like takin' candy from a baby, yarrr..."

"Cap'n, another two score just jumped in."

"Yarr, I knew we should have bought that black market inhibitor. For'ard, boys! Save one or two to walk the airlock plank!"

"Cap'n, uh, thar's this here big red blob on the radar.."

"Bosun, clap this idiot in irons! I TOLD him not to eat hardtack with ketchup at the controls."

"Bosun 'ere, sarr!! Alright, off with ye, ye scallywag... Uh, sarrr?"

"Yus, bosun?"

"Sarrr... that red blob? It's moving, sarr. Toward us, sarr."

"Well, grab a paper towel and wipe it up before it... er, did you say toward us."

"Yes, sarr. The ketchup appears to be crawlin' *up* the screen."

"Sarr, pilot here, sarr. The stars near the base's phase lane exit? Well, uh, they appear to be... er... goin' out."

"er... boys?"

"Yus, cap'n?"

"If anyone needs me, I'll be... uh... checkin' the lifeboat."

ps: if you make an ability with the aiusetime all, autocast, and make it spawn a frigate, this is a lot faster

it'll crank one out every second automatically

It's amazing to see that the game engine is capable of handling so many passive units. I'd hate to see what happens if a shooting war breaks out, though!

Ah, it's scenes like this that make one wish for multicore support.

How slow does your machine get at the various levels?

Is it playable with 10k ships on a good system? I have a beast that I would love to play with it's higher levels of to see what it would take. Do you think you could make a download for people that want to experiment with your modified files setting you up for 5-10-15k ship limits?

Great work, looks awesome.

I actualy hoped that they would shorten the limit just a little. Now that would be realy epical.

That doesn't mean I don't think it's epical now.
