[ENet-discuss] Questioning a server without connecting to it

[Stefan Lundmark]

I'm sorry but that's not how it works. There are very good papers out 
there (from the makers of the Unreal Networking Engine, Source and TNL) 
where you can get a good idea of different design choices that you have 
to make.
In any case, you don't have to make your choice now. You can change your 
tickrate at any time, if you're not happy about it.

Your 20 * 32 figure is incorrect, of course. You assume each client only 
is within scope of itself. The real figure is much larger.
But I think you made up your mind even before you came asking, so it 
doesn't matter.
