..Cake..
Also as the bits hinted before, the first jump point to another system was shown to Pyro, together with Microtech, the Carrack, New Babbage city & weather.
This is an actual telemetry page of all the players who play currently, this gives you a good overview of hardware performance as is.
The game is not polished and optimized as the 101 final stages of dev, so you can expect that the performance people get now on that telemetry will get better results then.
They will increase graphically quality as planned, but those efforts also come with the ongoing Vulkan upgrade that usually can gain 10-30% increased performance on rendering, so I wouldn't be worried about that.
On SC the telemetry page is a great piece of data of the increased performance on major updates, with the same hardware specs achieving higher FPS.
Most importantly though is that they were talking about this stuff 5 years ago and it still remains as nothing more than notes in Tony's pocketbook. I swear the bloke spends all day sat in a deck chair somewhere drinking pina colada's and dreaming up ideas for economies and missions without ever actually putting any of it to work.
A dynamic AI that by its own added rules will create a situation where pirates are attracted to a profitable trade route, and those same pirates move away if by mere simulation that route is no longer as profitable or security AI gets attracted to that high crime area. Or the prices of certain products increase to all players because of losses to pirate ganking just based on simulation.
"every other game does"? Seriously?!
This is BS; have you even watched the panel? The tool already exists, it already collects the data from the live servers as is, and conducts the simulation on developer-demand.
The thing that is missing is the implementation having this backend being the one feeding the game-server AI what to do.
The backend tool exists there, what does not is the server and AI work that is needed to ever allow this integration to have the AI populating the game-world, moving around and so on, while this simulation does its thing managing the AI.
Quantum hits on the very original pitch as far AI-driven economy goes and the initial ideas of a master server that did manage the NPCs.
I hope that the Calders didn't "fire" her, the only track we have seen from her the whole year is the Signature under the Chairman's Club Newsletter.
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
Elite Galactic Map from 2014 (with obv all nodes turned on):
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
And to be fair neither would ED really benefit from this setup SC goes for because of its mere scale, SC game-world and the consequent economy is far more contained.

SQ42 adds the story campaign, the rest is the vast majority features & mechanics of SC, so they can't do any feature and mechanic showcase exclusive to SQ42 that is not part of SC as well.
At the cost of giving up more of its story and missions for a demo, I think we're just up for normal teasers
