Go to Baal and dock at the CG station. You'll see it.
That being said, other than a little longer load time on dropping into the instance, the game doesn't stutter or suffer for me.
@FDev - Please, never again add 30+ npc ships in front of a CG station for ?? flavour ??

Yes, long lasting instances build up "stuck" npcs, that should disappear but don't. It got a bit better over the years, at least I haven't experienced any "ghost" containers lately, that exist for some CMDRs and not for others.
Still, when teabagging for a long time we reset the instance after a while to clear it (of course only possible if it is just us in the instance at that time - ideally that never happens)
In Solo the ships were gone, I had them only in Open. Rejoice in choice.
In the last Community Goal before the break (Golkonda ?) I experienced much worse runbberbanding and lag.
Edit: I am currently there to collect my reward. If I wasn't allied wit the Empire It'd be great to gather scan data. They should wake more.

You're wrong in this regard. I play on PS4 and trust me when I tell you this, I have screenshots of a radar stacked with even more activity than seen in the screenshot here. There is definitely not a restriction on the ship count on PS4 outside of these stations and there is evident frame drop, sometimes quite severe, where commands to raise landing gear or switch to external camera view etc are ignored. I do however imagine you're right about general Supercruise. As for Asteroids, I've been in some very very dense fields that match everything I saw on my PC game. Some scarce, other locations very dense depending on ring drop location aswell.
It's a old known issue (since release), if it's the same one I'm having in mind.
Having another player lingering at a station (for hours), someone you may not see (due to other bugs). They are keeping the session alive, causing the NPC to slowly lose direction and their sanity, causing them to start accumulating outside and inside the station over time.
If that player hangs about, then when you arrive at the station you enter that session where the all have crapped up:
You may be able to reproduce the issues yourselves, in high traffic systems having a friend sitting at a station for a while. Then you can go there and see it for yourselves.
We had fun with this back in the old days with all the gold & slave rush. Some folks fell asleep at the helm while others returned to overcrowded stations. Good stuff.

- The issue should not happen in Solo.
- The issue can be produced both in PG and Open.

I saw that, I thought it was pretty cool seeing all those ships. I did notice that my FPS did drop from the usual 120's to around the mid 90s though, I wasnt bothered too much by the drop in performance. It was a pretty nice sight to behold.
