That's cool. I don't believe you could do that in Elite, but I think the reason for that is more to do with the instancing limits. I guess in theory Frontier could expand the instance boundary to incorporate things such as this, though when you have a wing beacon on, you can indeed see the other player moving around on a planet's surface and through the entire system.

Invadaload, I remember it well. The Amidar one was my favourite though. Players Software, I think it was.
He was upset because he thought that jail was still bugged and he literally would not be able to get out (and at the same time his other main account is not working). Luckily for him, he was able to get out of jail in a few minutes.
Ok, NMS is mediocre, ED is mediocre, EVE is mediocre, GTA V is mediocre, Cyberpunk is mediocre, RDR2 is mediocre... ok, but at least they are mediocrely real... not an eternal dream.
I leave you, I'm going to play for a while with the mediocre Stellar Forge that a CIG intern can program in 2 hours but he's too lazy to do it...

Stellar Forge is elementary. Just randomly generate 400 B colorful balls, or something:
Code:
balls = []
for b in 1 to 400000000000:
balls.add(Ball(
x=random(0, MAX_X)
y=random(0, MAX_Y)
z=random(0, MAX_Z)
color=random_color
type=random([STAR, MOON, PLANET])
size=random(1, MAX_BALL_SIZE)
))

I get it, how long is a piece of string? How big is a planet really? In Elite, there are many planets and moons that are smaller than the one's contained in SC's static system, but there are many that are bigger, Earth is to scale for instance. I like that, it matters to me. It's one of the things about Empyrion that bugs me, but I still enjoy it as it doesn't crash and there's lots to do, including many different systems, and the crafting system and progress tree is very cool. You should give it a try, seeing as planet size isn't of great importance to you. You can even dig your own caves.
It took a pukka astrophysicist (Dr. Kay Ross) to help work it out and make it all function though...a simple fact that cultists seem to overlook. The Stellar Forge ain't the painting by numbers stuff employed by Ci~G

Here's an experiment that might (or not) prove something... The pink stars have those white hot flare that pop up on their surface and are visible from a closely orbiting body, if there were two people in separate instances on two separate bodies, like a binary pair orbiting that star, could both viewpoints be streamed to show whether those flares show up in the same point at the same time? Or be used as a triangulation point?
Is that Deadpool?After an entire week of failure....
Red mask/costume and twin pistol looks so familiar.
I remember a fight years back when CIG was rolling out its planet and talking about procedurally generating systems. Supportered were arguing planets would be accurate and correct size, it's have infinite points of interests and basically be the best planet in any game ever. It doens't looke like the planet had changed much but the dream crafting definitely have changed to justify reality.

But LA says he is playing no problem and he's having the best time of his life!
I can only assume these are fake screenshots and you are pushing FUD, pretending you can't actually play the game!
Ok, so first off, i see the aerials poking through the wall, but as we know, they are not physicalized, you can see the same effect in space or on planets. They are not physical, just rendered models.
However, it does raise the question of whether then they are just viewports, because if they were viewports, they shouldn't render.
However, this doesn't mean nested physics grids, since ships themselves don't care about orientation, the players in the ships are stuck to their seats. What it could mean though is that stations (if this is a station, not an outpost) do actually rotate and as they rotate the players (and NPCs) do actually rotate along with the station.
Do we know if it is an outpost or a station? If an outpost, can the same be duplicated at a station?
Yup, that would work, because its still just models and effects, not physics grinds.
Now, whether FD do that, along with other effects, is a good question and something that could be done to test, but doesn't resolve the question of physics grids.

Immersion. Some gamers crave such intricate and immersive detail in their space games:
Very true, and not immersive.
Viajero explains it superbly:
The foyer instance is not a viewport, it is definitely active as part of the instance in the game.
It's an outpost.
That's a good question, I'm not sure there's a way for players to glitch out of the coriolis station foyers and what would happen if they did in relation to the rotation correction etc. I know that the player will slide off the ship if they tilt too far so down is still down even though they are outside of the station, but what's interesting is that in another livestream, they glitched out to space and then jumped/glitched through the station to the landing pad that was upside down and ended up on the bottom of another players' ship that was parked there, the owner of that ship went to the landing pad and they were both able to see each other with them being upside down in relation to each other. So I'm not sure what is happening there in relation to the instance/grid/gravity etc.. I'm not in a position to find it right now unfortunately, but maybe someone else saw it can recall which video it was?
That has to be the stupidest comment you've ever posted here, and you've posted some absolutely daft takes.

Not sure about glitching directly out, but various players have found themselves out there...
As a random bonus, this is the magboot-ish behaviour that happens around ships
