  its worth noting, that they were not orbiting a star (I don't know if that would be a positive or negative issue, for stability .. they moved away from the star to cool off)

    If I recall correctly, they were attempting to move away from the galactic core, so that they could escape some ultimate cataclysm faster than the destruction could catch up to them. Their major technological problem was rejection of waste heat.

  Well, these are beasts of a different feather. These 416 aren't orbiting around each-other like in a Klemperer Rosette, they're just equally spaced out alone the same orbit around the sun. So it's a lot easier to get higher numbers. I mean, our own solar system has more planets than "Pierson's Puppeteers".
