Yeah, there were more at other times. You can count 29 in another shot because the ships are flying through the frame. What's one or two more or less in a SC thread?yeah, thats 29.
count 23 ships in the best shot i could find for counting. 24 with camera ship.
That is a i want to see a stream to see there was no shenanigans getting people in instance.
But if you can get that many in easily now, that is great.

Yeah! It's a pathetic number of players. Nowhere near the " hundreds of thousands of people maybe in one instance" hinted at by Erin Roberts in 2017.
We actually got 2 instances of 15+ people each down on the surface. We had a single one with all of us in orbit.
Whatever happened to him?
It’s a mistery.
There won't be a single, global shard. Physics won't allow it. He needs to assume the "I can neither confirm nor deny" stance. If he straight up said what he already knows (that there won't be a single, global shard), the amount of self-gasligthing the community would have to do, would be unhealthy. They still need to push for at least one sales event this year.
I think they have pretty much explicitly said that there won’t be a single shard. But they have also said their goal is to make shards as dense as they can so we won’t be able to tell the difference… rollseyes.gif
). If it is only my shard then won't you get people trying to pile in to take advantage (as they said you can switch shards freely). 
Interesting stuff - maybe I should actually watch that stream ... and the one about sharding, so if it made any more sense than the internet commentary
Believe it or not you have probably already thought about this more than Tony Z has in all his ramblings.Did TonyZ say anything about how the events that citizens will be able to trigger will relate to shards? i.e. in ED if something is triggered via the BGS then everyone can see it at that location, but would the same happen with shards? So if my crew worked to triggered a XenoThreat / Jump Town 2 event would all shards see it, or just mine?
Either seems to have possible issues - if everyone sees it then it just looks spontaneous to every other shard (which I guess is ok - might be confusing if you are trying to trigger Jump Town and you find a Xeno Threat
The most common sense way to do it, if we would like to still preserve this feeling of taking part in a much larger universe, is to have a global, inter-shard simulation dealing with global economic and political factors that do not need to be updated in real time. Exactly like ED is doing it. For example, take all the transactions the players are performing and recalculate equilibrium prices from time to time, or keep some kind of global balance of power between two factions based on what players are doing in all shards combined. Global events in the news, global faction reputation etc.Did TonyZ say anything about how the events that citizens will be able to trigger will relate to shards? i.e. in ED if something is triggered via the BGS then everyone can see it at that location, but would the same happen with shards?

Just the same old water muddying and trying to buy time. They walked back on dreams.txt with this just like we discussed just mere days ago and this wont be zhe last of it, but we'll still see the nollocks being told to keep the dreamers happy.
