Optimally, you'd be able to store in both locations GÇö things you want to make sure you have everywhere (and, obviously, corp fittings) go into the cloud; fittings you're just toying around with and/or you will only ever use one computer goes local.
So the question is: how hard would that be GÇö to read and write fittings to two different locations?

So one size doesn't really fit all GÇö quite the opposite, you have a classic bath-tub curve with two extremes and very little in the middle GÇö and hard-coding a per-character limit based around some average number becomes something of a disservice for both ends of the spectrum (orGǪ wellGǪ perhaps not a disservice at the low-end; more of a non-service).

GǪbut the thing is (and this is what those numbers actually mean) that no matter what you pick as a limit, it will be wrong.
Some people will need much more; some will need much less, or even none.
So I'm still wondering: why is a per-pilot limit needed? Won't the low-end users balance out the storage needs of the high-end users? What's the worst-case scenario of letting the high-end users run amuck until the DB gets unwieldy?
Put another way, if you give everyone 100 slots, how many will actually be used across the entire population? 3 million? How much will actually be used if everyone gets "unlimited" slots? 4 million? 6? 10? I have a sneaking suspicion (but that is all it is) that 300k user +ù GêP slots will be less than projecting for 300k users +ù 100 slots.
