In regards to the PU "Instances", if I were stalking someone over multiple solar systems, how are we ensured that we will be instanced with that person every time.asked by Zlads

TL;DRMarking someone as a person of interest makes matchmaking far more likely to put you in their instance, though instance numbers and reserved slots for friends, enemies and persons of interest are still being worked out.

In that particular case, that the whole point of the "Person of Interest" system. When you're tracking someone like that, you'll find that you can mark them as a person of interest in your mobiglas/ship systems, which will mean you drop into their instance every time. There are different categories here, there are POI's, Friends, Enemies (those last two are dependant on personal friends/enemies and organisational information). These are all considerations of the matchmaking system so you're far more likely to be put in an instance with them than any others. This carries down onto planets as well. There was kind of a writeup on this quite a while ago in the campaign which is still kinda the goal for us, we think it'll work pretty well. We're still working out numbers in an instance etc, so how many slots do we reserve for friends/enemies/POI's etc, but that'll all be worked out as we test down the line.
