What is the ship in game limit with SCP?

And can it be made bigger?

...lim...it?

...*points to search button*

There are no 'limits' anymore...so...you can have as many in game as you want...atleast I think that's what those coders did...

2700 Subsystems IIRC, more would crash the game... At least that's what is written on FSDoc...

At one point, especially with a lot of asteroids and plenty of fire flying, primary weapons start loosing collision detection, they won't work anymore.

So thats why that Trek battle was all wierd. I turned off invulnerability to see who would win that battle, but ships just kept shooting through each other.

SCP dudes, any way around this issue? As graphics cards and computers get beefier, 50 ships in a battle will eventually be common place.

It's been discussed before, with I forget what conclusion.  The trouble is that the collision calculations grow exponentially as the number of objects increases, and there is a hard limit set as to how many collision checks the game will do so that it does not become completely unplayable.
who needs a signature? ;)

That might explain what was happening in a mission in Boomerang. Kept shooting through the damn Nephilims.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I've had around 60 or so before retail FS2 would simply crash when you tried to load the mission.

On mission 13 of my Legacy campaign, there is close to eighty.

Nearly three full squadrens of fighters and bombers (2 of fighters, 1 of bombers) slugging it out, plus an Orion and the Colossus.

Hmm well... it seems none of you really hit the old FRED ship limit...  It used to be 99 (or 100?) ships which wasn't really that hard to hit in multiplayer missions... (same as sexp limit and in fact all limits :)) You need a lot of ships events and interaction to keep 8 players busy at same time. :)

Wonder if anyone did anything with it... I made a multiplayer race mission similar to Trails of light from TBP, just a bit different cause you have to keep 2 trails for 2 pilots. I was really limited by those 99 ships. 2 for pilot ships, about 5 for some very basical enviroment around, 10 for interactive obstacles on track and that leaves 82 objects... cut in half it means 41 nav points for each pilot which is realy low number :( If anyone really raised that limit i wouldnt mind reworking it... :)
...but what do i know, i'm just Drunk.

When they raise that limit, could you get the FZ Team to make some missions like TDIC for MenBD?

....hehe....
Always trying to test myself :P

Umm... well.. one stupid question... What is "MenDB"?
Btw we managed to reduce the number of pilots required to win TDIC on 3, try that if you need yourself kept busy :) And if this is not enough, try to win medal in Red & Black Allover, also Checkmate medal is quite a challange ;)

Well, I just tested it and managed to get 109 ships into my mission. Nearly 16 wings of bombers, 19 GTVA caps, 15 Shivan caps and a bunch of waypoints - go figure! :)

"Me'n'BD" - me and blackdove :P

BD and I have done TDIC on our own, on insane, just the two of us. - not hard in the end.

I don't remember R&D Allover/check mate - i'll have a look at them sometime.

Question: How does it count by?

Total ships present and active in the mission?  Total ships out of all ships both present, yet to arrive, already departed?  All ships plus all ships in respawning wings?
