is there a fast and easy way to increase ship traffic? Im thinking current traffic levels dont really seem realistic. I want to see MASSIVE convoys and HUGE fleets flying around. Such as 6 20pod frieghters with 4 escorts each.


EDIT

Or maybe just the frequency of arrivals at L-points?

I think it is pretty realistic, too much traffic and you end up getting major accidents all the time.

One thing i would like to see is a significant increase in 'random' nature in which people exit L-points. That is to say the way in which at the moment all of the out going traffic comes out dead-centre.

I'm with Shades. It would be cool to see massive convoys like that, along with other traffic. The problem (for me at least), is that you can't get too many ships on-screen at once without annihilating the frame-rates. But I've got an old 32 meg GeForce2, so...

even with a newer 128mb card gefo something or other, I get 3-4 FPS whenever I fill the colossus and those are simple cargo pod objects (<20 polys x 600 pods I can often get before calling Jafs at Touch down)

LOL, you guys have got to stop quoting my signature. ;)

It does make for a colorful thread, though. [8D]

well maybe not huge convoys but what about bigger ones. Big business would have say... 3 frieghters to a group. While inde shipping would stay small compared to the corporations.

also, is the size and exit locations hard coded or could they be changed? Accidents wouldnt happen to much with increased traffic if the l-points where...3-4 times as big.
