Ships In Orbit

[BrowneHawk]

I feel like I have been seeing mixed signals on this. Are those ships all player ships? Or just eye candy? I have heard people saying they are, but also have heard, how is it possible for our game to track what every other squad is doing?

I have seen ships get destroyed by ground to air weapons, players ships are not getting blown up to my knowledge. So that makes me think they are just there for immersion.

I did just see a short video that has the guy looking down and you seeing strategem light beams going off, so that also makes me think, oh maybe these ship are player ships working in real time.

most are fake, they even have fake names.
if you manage to sit in orbit around a robot planet for long enough without doing any missions they'll eventually all have exploded.

It's set piece theater. Unless other player ships are being blow to pieces by orbital defense fire. Go hang out over an active Automaton planet and look out your window. They get picked off from the surface.

Some of them are real. Some are not.

Only your squad has ships in orbit.
Ive seen some get shot out of the sky by robots so theres 0 chance they're players.

All of them are fake except the one from your squad.
Tho they are somewhat simulated by how many players are there.
Like if there are a lot of players there, the space there will look crowded and vice versa.
