Title: A Question
Post by: blowfish on December 19, 2007, 06:48:24 pm
What is the limit to the number of ships you can currently have in the table (I think it is 130 but I want to make sure)?

and

How many ships are in the retail tables?

also

I believe that this limit will be raised in 3.7.  Is this true?  What will it be raised to?

EDIT: Oh and also:  Is there any limit to the number of weapons that can exist?

Ships limit is indeed 130... unless you use an Inferno build, in which case it is 300.

Retail ships... something like 120 or 125... there's a bit of extra room at any rate.

As for 3.7, I heard that the limit was going to become dynamic, but I guess you'd have to hear from the SCP people for that one.

As for the weapons, I don't know, and the Wiki doesn't say, so I wouldn't know where to look for the answer.

Max weapon types is 200 for regular builds, 300 for inferno.

Well, I just checked, and retail has 113 ships ... so that allows 27 more ships.  That's not much room to grow ... I can't wait for 3.7, but I know that that won't appear anytime soon.

250.

300 is the weapons limit as Turey pointed out.

What is the purpose of the ships limit?

To piss us off.

Cause the game doesn't work without it.

You need a limit in order to set up an array. And changing everything that uses arrays with a limit to using vectors would take a long time.
