@Qwert Anyways Qwert
With these stats:
- Length: 4400 ly
- Width: 3400 ly
- Height: 1000 ly
- Stellar Density: 0.004
The total number of stars comes to 59.840.000
How many of these should we give each plot?
I was thinking of keeping most of the stars (something like 80% ) of the stars outside the now properly three-dimensional plots, and to divide the remaining amount (in this case, 20%, but again that can be decided and changed) between the plots.
That ratio would most likely be something along the lines of less than 10 and more than 90 percent, but you get the point
Do I interpret it correctly that the “plot space” of the sector would have 20% of all the sector’s stars?
Well, if our current plot space is 100 ly in height, it would occupy a volume of 1.496.000.000 cubic ly. The whole Sector occupies 14.960.000.000 cubic ly, so our current plot space would occupy 10% of the Sector, and contain 10% of it’s stars
I’d say up the ante, but make it so that the total planet cap (habitable & non-habitable) is at 100K. Sure fleet sizes & populations will have to be adjusted, but the 100K planets seems to be quite tangible. Going beyond it may prove more difficult.
However, this also has further implications on star nations which have historically been small. While plots can be divided into subplots, it shouldn’t really be the case of a player holding control of a large plot while only RPing 10 LY of it. Too that end, perhaps we should dedicate a plot to host smaller RP nations. Potentially the TT if they are to be expanded too. #TiyankiRework3.0

I guess we could just assign an arbitrary number of stars per plot, perhaps basing it off of one of the plots that has a relatively easily calculable volume

I still have to figure out what an accurate star to planet ratio would be
Most stars are in multiple component systems, yes, but even those stars are speculated to have planets around them
So I really don’t know. If we want to keep a star to planet ratio of 1, then we would need to go with 100K stars too, but if that turns out to be a very unrealistic ratio we’ll have to change some things
Tell you what, I’ll go ask around to some professionals I know and see what they say
Alternatively we also alter the Drake equation to skew down those numbers.
Yes, yes, but we should probably try to remain within a relatively realistic estimate
I’ll post my findings as soon as I can
Okay so the current estimate seems to be 1.6 planets per star
Seems reasonable enough, right?
Following that, the Sector would have 59.840.000 stars and 95.744.000 planets
@Galaxiel I was thinking for some preliminary caps to use the image on the right. Thus limiting plot space to just 60% of those stars to keep things a bit more toned down.

That sounds like a nice way to tone the numbers down initially
I’m putting this here for documentation as well. Should we drastically increase the plot sizes, this could be a revamp of the TT with 6 additional subplots. This way the scaling can happen without losing the built identity of the TT.
Whether or not existing subplots could transfer here I’m a bit against, since most of those plots are outright power grabs and don’t bring anything particularly interesting to the table. Except for maybe the Imperial Remnant, Envari Republic and/or Emeraldian Imperial State, but these are arguably again just extensions of existing nations. So not sure about that.
So perhaps we will need a dedicated subplot plot in the future depending on subplot interests as well as potential subplot rules. Since I believe the subplots in the TT at least should be prioritised to be given to RPers who wish to RP smaller star nations.

I think subplots should count as someone’s one plot, but maybe there can be a trial system where someone can “rent” a subplot for a month to see if they like the canon, and then decide from there if they want to permanently join (they can pick a different plot at that point)

Yeah, definitely
I was also planning on running a sort of activity check, but I’d probably only be removing a single plot lmao
