Project Heavens traffic proof-of-concept

[Artlav]

Are there 10 000 sats at all? I though there are some 3000 active and an additional 3000 inactive ones... and a whole lot of debris.

... No idea.
Any source of information for that?

Or, better, how much satellites do people want in their Orbiter?

How about user selectable meshes for certain satellites, maybe specified in the TLE file to override the default carina mesh or something.

Doable, but in a separate file, to avoid problems and overwrites.
The problem - the id's in TLE files might not and are not be unique.

Or we could just build a nice generic satellite mesh that isn't quite as ugly as Carina and doesn't glow in the dark.

As many as possible.
