Can we have an update on Quantum and Quantas?asked by Scorpion_Khaljahim

We've spent a lot of time and effort optimizing the simulation and are now doing tests with as many as two million quanta, but it looks like we won't need more than 100K per system to get the desired effects. We've started to connect some select bits of the simulated data to the backend services that feed the game servers, with things like fuel and repair prices, encounter types and frequencies, and Service Beacons first in line. This will have some dramatic effects on the gameplay experience as it'll mean that previously disparate things like pirate activity, calls for help, and the price of repairs in an area will finally start to feel like they're all connected.
