No No No, Lol! your mum said!, my pixels are better than your pixels because "my dad said so" and my dad is bigger than your dad so double NER! (and I used CAPS so I am better then you, cos I did it first!
).And my mum said so too (and she earned all of my pixels for me, I just do the fun bits) so triple NER with a cherry on top!
I've seen, in Open and Group, that you get more CMDRs in a station instance. As soon as you get out to supercruise the numbers get more fragmented.

It is possible to take higher resolution images in Solo. Not available in Open or Private Groups as an invulnerability exploit was discovered.
I said much-pixel pictures... Not pictures...
Much-pixel pictures look gooder and r biggur...
F10 for normal current rez screenshots
Alt + F10 for 4K screenshots, but the option is locked out of Open Mode as Robert said due to people cheating with it.
Or of course, there is Steam and F12 which then can be directly uploaded to the Steam Community and saved to your PC
(I use Steam F12 for most of my screenshots)
I have done the Alt+F10 - you get a lot of pixels there when running 1920x1080 trying to view a 4K picture.
Talk about zoomed in, lol.
Weeell they are a bit bigger than standart 4K screenshots... At least mine are 5464x3072..
Also elite on steam is abomination! Purge the heretic!
And if I go a few kylies from the bubble then I'm unlikely to see anyone, even in Open. My point was that [in Open] if you want to find people you can, if you want to avoid people you can. Simple choice once again.
*Renews attack, this time including Mouse*
Never really looked at the actual size - I don't have a 4k monitor, so it was more just a test if it would work or not.
As for Steam, it makes it handy to share information and friends / groups can view your games at any time (no twitch software needed).
Also, my friends on Steam can see what I'm playing without having to ask me (so I always throw games in to Steam).
That being said, I've started messing about with OBS and connected a FB page, YouTube and Twitch

So chances are, I'm going to load through the launcher not Steam in future (don't want tons of streams going out at the same time) so I can stream properly and not just to Steam.

Fair point, I wasn't intending to disagree with you, although I can see it came across like that. The point I think I was trying to make was that even in high traffic areas, the instancing islands seem to be more stable at the station, than out in SC. Almost as if the netcode handles increased numbers of CMDR in a single instance better where it is more of a fixed location? 3 or 4 "Star to Station" instances pipe into one "Station" instance...
This makes sense as the stations are fixed instances, while in SC you are an "island" (or bubble) moving about.
It is only if certain criteria are met will your bubble overlap another person's bubble and you see each other.
(criteria = ping times, distance apart, stability of the connection and match maker settings)
AFAIK, it's not 4K. It's 4x. As in, twice the horizontal and twice the vertical resolution, resulting in 4x more pixels. (And a big file size for an image, which is what was at the heart of the exploit.)
Are you running the game at 2732x1536? That would explain the size of your screenshots.
Here you go, 4K info.

It is supposed to be 4096 x 2160, but just like everything in life - what is advertised and what we get are 2 different things.
As for 5464 - that sounds like multi monitor set up to me.
(I run 2 monitors)
nope its 1366*768 (using lap top at the moment) Screens were taken on here. you were actually right it is 4x but you miscalculated... Come to think of it, the screens i took back on 1080p were 7680 x 4320
