Floplag Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I know at one point there used to be a limit on how many personnel, companions, or other "people" type objects you could place, is this still the case? if so what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I know at one point there used to be a limit on how many personnel, companions, or other "people" type objects you could place, is this still the case? if so what is it? When strongholds were first introduced, there was one shared limit of 25 for personnel, companions and pets. That was changed very quickly to the way it is now, where the limit only applies to "interactable" NPCs (i.e. companions, vendors, and a handful of pets (the glowing ones and one of the promotional droids) Just tested it - the limit is still 25 and it's still shared by companions, vendors and selectable pets, but since the vast majority of personnel decorations and pets can't be selected and thus are excluded from that limit it isn't really noticeable, unless you want to place all your post-KOFE companions in a stronghold.

There are still a number of non-vendor personnel decos that count toward the 25 NPC limit. Master Gnost-Dural, Don the Exile Knight, Life Day Reveler, the Dramath, Valkorian and Vaylin holos, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floplag Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 First, thanks for the replies. So, if im understanding this correctly, if i wanted to do a small platoon of soldiers, or have a variety of Mandalorian guards it wouldnt count against the limit. Bar or Casino patrons and other non interactive would not count. missions and such. Most of those found in the imperial or republic personnel deco packs would not count. Basically unless its interactive, it doesnt count against the 25? companions always count? Am i about right on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Yeah. I have two very populated casinos (Nar Shaddaa and Rishi Carrier) and every available creature pet on Yavin, and haven't run into the limit without deliberately testing it out. A npc-type deco only counts to the limit when you can select it as target. The reason is that there are server-side calculations done for selectable NPCs (aoe, los, friend / foe etc.) that could cause server-wide problems when too many of them happen simultaneously in small areas with up to 50 players.

TonyTricicolo Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 NECRO incoming.... So Yea, what's the deal with the small personnel and companion decoration cap? You can't properly form a platoon at 25 lol. There is no love for strongholds any more. I feel neglected But seriously, do they even know there's a SH forum? Do they at least acknowledge we exist? They must, right? They keep selling shinies on the Cartel Market so WTfrack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A platoon of non-interactive troops is fine because they don't count against the limit. A platoon of companions and vendors is not fine, obviously.

TonyTricicolo Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I hope they address it. I'm sure it occurred to them after we got a boat load of companions that we might want to place them in our strongholds. Like "still pictures in time", placing comps in mock scenarios brings life to stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athejas Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Can we bump this? as far as i can see, there are two limits, one for the companion type personnel, and another for the non-selectable personnel. Currently my SH is somewhat sparsely manned, and i am already at the limit. I cannot even create a market place for the SH with only the vendors manning the stalls as it is already at cap!

The limit must be fairly high. I just checked my two populated strongholds and I have: Nar Shaddaa: Vendors and selectable: 14 Personnel: 101 Fleet Penthouse: Vendors and selectable: 4 Personnel: 105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than manually counting them, of course? Update: I can confirm the 25 limit. It was a nuisance to me in putting a War Room kind of thing in my SH. Felusia, the Jawa vendors, fabrication droids also count towards the limit of 25, so it is very constraining.

Stradlin Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It is too bad this hard limit for clickable companions is there still. I had such a fun plan to drop each alliance companion to some appropriate corner of my Alderaan SH, reached the cap like halfway through the project.
