'Big Wing' experiment

from Stardock Forums

I always wondered what it would be like to have a single massive fleet, so, I just hit the enemy with 1048 cobalts...

It's the first time my i7 920, 2x4890, 6Gb, SSD etc has stuttered.

The fleet itself was partially successful - it could only bring so many guns to bear at once so a lot of the fleet was doing nothing. Maybe LRFs would have been better.

 

Interesting, but I won't be doing it again ;)

you managed to break the ships?  wow...

they should all be able to attack, no matter how many targets there are (assuming there are targets)

but a late game spam fleet doesn't really see like a good idea.  esp with light frigs.  wonder how HCs would do...

That's amazing even such a system would be crippled under that load. I've done some massive fleet experiments in the past, but nowhere near 1048 :P

I said stuttered, not crippled. There was a delay when I clicked on stuff.

This was a 100+ planet map and I already had 3 huge fleets wandering round.

I have the game file modded to quadruple fleet supply and that was nearly maxed out...

I wonder how many total scouts you could make if you put out a pure scout fleet.

Reply #5 from Sins Forums Top

absolute tons.  think half the total fleet supply

Meh, I tried it with 30k fleet total for 10 players on 8x game speed, the lag was hell

i saw once a video on youtube of a 1000 scouts fleet :D : i am quite sure whatever ia ennemy fleet you encounter will retreat the moment you jump in !

What's the clock on the i7 and the ram and what are your fps during these?
