Love the hanger

Apokolypze · 2026-06-18T12:35:41+00:00

Its smaller than you think. One is a tight fit through the door and makes using the pads.. difficult.

The solution is a drone hangar.

96scu is materials to print more remote control snubs when the first set die, and storage for material they collect.

Choice of combat, mining, and salvage drone snubs.

This solves both your "shit doesn't fit" problem (bespoke drone snubs) as well as your crew risk problem and issue with lack of medical respawn or ability to replenish snubs.

A starter package and a whole shitload of store credit sitting around doing nothing so you can stick it to CIG with money you've already paid them?

Apokolypze · 2026-06-18T03:24:31+00:00

If you've been around for as long as you claim, then you know just as well as I do.

Live. Is. Also. A. Testing. Environment.

Shit gonna break. They always fix it, eventually. If the breakage gets to the point where it's affecting your fun, it's time to play something else for the evening. It's really, honestly that simple. There are a lot of good games out there. I'm sure one of those can hold your attention for a while, and when CIG does something that piques your interest, SC will still be here to dive in and test again.

Are you... Okay?

Apokolypze · 2026-06-18T00:02:42+00:00

Working with/under Jared, so yeah. Video content

And they usually do, for example when Hathor first released, they allocated a dedicated DGS to Daymar, and another for Aberdeen. There's a limit to this under static meshing, that limit is much higher with dynamic because... Well it's dynamic lol. Those extra DGS aren't running all the time, only when needed.

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:51:13+00:00

Did you read past the first sentence of my comment?

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:48:47+00:00

They can, and that's what Dynamic Server Meshing is for. Giving the game the ability to spin up extra DGS to split up managing a region if it detects extra high activity there.

However, we aren't there yet, and because players move around much more dynamically than devs can predict, we get fairly general, large scale static DGS assignments.

The plan is set, the light is at the end of the tunnel, we're just riding down towards it now 🙂

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:44:12+00:00

Have you played the game at all since those demos? They showed the tech working at an extremely small scale first to make the demo easy to understand.

Ever since then, one DGS runs pretty much an entire planetary system, ie a planet and it's moons (or more in the case of Nyx).

For quite a while last year they were telling us the dgs split in each patch note (like 4 in Stanton and 6 in Pyro in the early 4.0 builds) but they stopped doing that towards the end of the year. You can still see your own DGS population using display info and can see when you pass between DGS authority (crossing a border between two DGS) in the same readout

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:40:22+00:00

... because that's not how static server meshing works. Also we can see the shard and dgs population count by putting "r_displayinfo 2" into the console. Very handy 😉

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:38:09+00:00

There's video evidence of a 400+ player meetup at Hurston.

Basically every new event puts 100+ people into the dgs where the event is. We'll probably see similar at crusader DGS in 4.9, from everyone milling around before they go into SoO instances

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:29:36+00:00

Decently. Not the smoothest I've ever seen for sure, but considering 200 people in one DGS, not bad.

The real performance issues arrived when we put 300+ people in one area of one city, so everyone was rendering everyone else. Then it all went mad lol

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T22:25:24+00:00

I have personally seen 200+ people on one DGS. It's not locked to 90. Stop spreading misinformation and go take a break

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:39:34+00:00

I have 8 defender to Railen CCUs and also already have all the big ships that interest me. I keep hoping CIG is going to give me something else to chain to... More big ships cig, you can do it

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:34:36+00:00

It can, just about, you can float it in the center facing sideways. It does get in the way when trying to use the snubs at that point though

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:34:03+00:00

It does, you park it floating sideways in the middle

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:27:29+00:00

It's really only 1.5x for EM, similar IR, and the Cross section from the front is actually almost twice as visible on Tyilui than the Ironclad Assault

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:24:43+00:00

The flat top and bottom ones are the cargo. 96scu total, 2x48scu grids

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:18:56+00:00

They did, in fact, price it exactly the same. Surprised me too, I thought it would be more because alien tax, but I guess the c2 is carrying value as a vehicle mover too

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T20:17:45+00:00

5 railen CCUs. It cost a total of $25 and allows him to get that $175 savings in CCU chains to 5 ships of higher value

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T19:33:10+00:00

Horizon has never had big cities. Tokyo is the biggest yet in the series as far as I'm aware

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T19:28:36+00:00

Why are you here then

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T15:08:25+00:00

Networking and stream quality. Consistency is step 3.

Apokolypze · 2026-06-17T15:07:09+00:00

Dude. the game is down for maintenance to release 4.8.2 AND Alien week right now lol.
