After watching 10FTC, The chair-mans comment, regarding player to NPC populations. If players are only 10% and NPC 90% of the population of the Verse.
This got me thinking, Now SC players are 600,000 strong does this mean potentially there could be 6 Million NPC in the Verse?
Even if only 50% of the player base is online at once, Potentially that could add up to 3 Million NPC required online ;
Seems like a massive undertaking to track all those individual AI interactions when the figures get that high.
I was wondering what technical limitations the engine and SC code and DB's have that would inhibit the population of that many individual AI at one time?
Does instancing somehow come into effect and spread the load of this via replication?
Any CIG informed citizens have an opinion on this to discuss?
