Revision as of 03:57, 29 April 2008
In response to this quote on the article page:
"Given the theoretical maximum screening rate of 1,000 soldiers per month (only 100 fit in the transfer queue at a time, they take 3 days to show up, so only 10 batches of 100 per month)"...
Because SOLDIER.DAT has a fixed file size of 250 records, only this quantity of soldiers is possible to screen in a given month. Therefore, you would come across the ultimate soldier every 260,645,182.875 months or 21,720,431.9063 years. Big difference, eh? --Zombie 16:18, 28 April 2008 (PDT)
- Soldiers don't get pulled out of SOLDIER.DAT if they're sacked before the end of the month? Arrow Quivershaft 17:56, 28 April 2008 (PDT)
- They become overwritable, yes. However, psi-screening only happens at the end of the month; only 250 soldiers per month can be screened for Psi Strength. --Zaimoni 21:50, 28 April 2008 (CDT)
- Point taken. Unless you're looking at right at the file to get your data, at which case Psi Screening takes no extra time. ;P Arrow Quivershaft 19:53, 28 April 2008 (PDT)
