And now:
Status command update! Servers have been shut down
31442 and 85671
satcom-70⢠11m
Weāve examined the abnormal behavior exhibited by server 31422 and have concluded itās due to corruption from an external source. To avoid all possible contamination of the other servers, our technical team decided to take extreme measures and will be shutting down this server and its backup (85671) permanently. Continue your good work in decrypting the serversā content and reporting any running services that do not belong to Myriad, Atlas, Satcom, or the CSD.
Sure, this server should have best connection from Europe too if we want a āsymetryā in the pairs
Decrypting content and reporting running services. Hmmmm
So thatās not the end of this, thenā¦damnā¦had hoped this would be the end of this madness.
Responding to the idea that anyone has 'found' that NMS' Universe does _not_ contain 18 quintillion planets, I borrowed the idea of 'Ambient Occlusion' to bring to bear... but I _meant_ "occlusion culling", still it's irrelevant to the OP; I got carried away. Lol. (Sorry)
āAmbient [edit]I meant Occlusion Culling[/edit]ā applied to Procedural Generation ā if youāre nowhere close to the region of space, even in ābrowsing the Galaxy mapā, you wonāt see its stars / planets to count themā¦
Then again, we play 1 galaxy at a time, and itās already been shown that there are (conveniently) 256 of them (Hex 00 - FF = 0 - 255 = 256)
⦠and in EACH one there will be multitudesā¦
18,000,000,etc in the āentire NMS Universeā / 1,000 = 18,000,etc
⦠x4 = 72,000,etc (approximately) per galaxy, say.
(1000 / 4 = 250, so approx 255-256)
I could just as easily āallowā that there may well be 18 quintillion Planets in the game, most of which weāll never see⦠than to let some wet-wipe whiny impatient trigger-happy script-kiddie sh!t on our Universe by claiming that the 18 quint claim is āfakeā. Who gives a toss, really?
Heh - Iām checking my FetchData to see if anything has changed
Is this what Bit.ly link says from above?
Edit: cuz I couldnāt get it to work.
Also, given the recent info. thereās a main server and a back-up server. So then, this pairing now makes more sense to me.
https://bit.ly/2ZAUZJZ or lower case, isnāt working at all for me.
Error page from Bit.Ly
How about a āconvenientā link back to the Relevant Reddit Thread page?
We donāt worry about them - I appreciate all your efforts.
the FetchServerList command output:
Servers list:
31422 - Offline
91247
11986
67240
85671 - Offline
88014
73195
40144
55197
60206
Just a confirmation of the WT Status command info.
The bit/ly link is just a redirect to the reddit post
Then again, harping on about a potentially non-terrestrial server pair, when it turns out thereās an EAST/WEST SPLIT for North America . . .
Suddenly the (4) 67240 / (8) 40144 pairing āhas a homeā⦠++sighs++
LOL
Live, Learn, Laugh
Where did the ambient occlusion bit come from? But I donāt think theyāll go as far as hiding the solar systemsā¦probably just their informationā¦because a) from earth we can see some REALLY distant starsā¦with the naked eye the most distant star visible is some 16k light yearsā¦with technology thereās no limit other than the light of those stars not having reached us. plus it will be hard to really limit that much considering how far a kitted out S class freighter can jump in the gameā¦youāll have to be able to select solar systems further than your freighter can jump.
Thinking, itās past ālate close of businessā here in UK (Hello Games), so EMEA representative Servers being ādownā kinda āmake a bit of senseā.
Iād be willing to bet they COULD āfollow the patternā of Time Zones and the next to āgo offā would then be US E, S.Am., US W, then finally APAC (Oz/NZ).
(On which note, Iām bloody well claiming the switch from UK to EMEA, which has been implemented into the Google Spreadsheet, thankyouverymuch!) LOL
A(n irrelevant, sorry) sidebar discussion re Ambient Occlusion, when what I really meant was "Occlusion Culling"! >__< Pls skip. :D
Ambient Occlusion ((I meant Occlusion Culling!!)), as you know, is re Graphics elements ā what appears and what doesnāt.
Iām just brainstorming the potential for this kind of ⦠calculation to be applied to planetary appearances, such that anyone looking to spoil the game (or talk negatively about it) would rush to claim that there āarenātā 18 quints of em, and that itās āanother Sean Murray lieā (or some bollox), when itās probably just that they arenāt there yet to be counted.
As for seeing from Earth, why, yes, we can! But we also donāt have as much bloody astral dust nor brightly coloured space-gas-clouds obscuring our distant vision here!
LOL
In which case ambient occlusion would make zero sense for the galactic mapā¦we reasonably should know where all the stars in our galaxy areā¦thatās just a basic fact. So if they donāt apply it to the galactic map then where would they apply it to?
