450 SHIPS! Will Galactic Armada Run? Unity Game Engine Physics System Stress Test.
I decided to run a test of 450 ships (Active Ai Agents) just to see how it would perform. I am also testing out the pathfinding of the new Frigate class capital ships I am setting up. I wanted to have at least one capital class ship going in the scene as I build new systems, which allows me to test them and spot any issues while testing other things. I would say that given the circumstances and the fact this is running SINGLE THREADED only, it is performing quite well. It will only get better once Squads and BattleGroup systems are introduced and targeting systems will be offloaded to AI commanders that will command and do targeting for groups of ships, at the moment each individual ship is gathering it' own targeting data which is where a majority of the CPU overhead is coming from with so many active agents.
