A slightly moot point since we're having a wipe (of some sort) with the 3.18.1 patch...supposedly due this week, but in typical Ci~G style...didn't show up

That 10 or 20 years line is particularly pointy as we're now at 10 years of dev. Of course, if you are eating the Lotus it's just current year-2 of dev.
Nice. I'm jealous.
Open letter hype

Dear CIG and RSI, as we all know we are going through a very hard time regarding accessability of LIVE servers and useability of inventory, asop terminals, pledged ships and playing missions. Based...robertsspaceindustries.com
Ah, how does that square with the faithful proclaiming that they are playing it without problems?
Have they gone yet?...Is it safe to come back out after the invasion of the physics grid nerds?
Weirdest passive-aggressive debate ever...it was like guiltily peeking at nuns fighting over the wall of a convent

Sorry, still here, but dropped the topic.
"I'm so glad CIG are taking their time to get it right, and not releasing a buggy released product like a certain other space game" - faithful from 2012 to 2016.
This is part of the effort by some backers to claim that ALL of the problems with 3.18 are due to large player load. The typical suspects are pushing this myth:Open letter hype

As we all saw on streams, it was not "fine during the week".
No, it's Alpha.
Whichever way it works, it works very well in an ongoing fashion. I don't think what you suggest would be feasible, not because it would prove the counter point of it not being a nested physics grid, but because instancing distance limits would mean that there wouldn't be an opportunity for the other preson to join the instance to wave at the other player.Here's an interesting idea though. We know planets orbit in real time (with their own plane of gravity) in ED. We know there are some ridiculously close orbits in the game. Can we get a player on one body waving to another on a close body (with their own plane of gravity) that is close enough for you to see them (maybe via an executioner scope)? Would that satisfy you?
Maybe using the wing beacon feature you could have three players in a team on different points on a very small moon with a third player in orbit viewing their icons, and I would tentatively suggest that if you could see all three moving around in their own way, then that would effectively show the same thing. Or, even better, find two very close small bodies and repeat that but with one of the players on the other moon and capture their movement along with the orbital motion.
CIG are that serious about poaching Elite users that they'd go through all of that? Interesting. And of course, this came at no cost to the development of any kickstarter promises I suppose? Makes you wonder what else they'd do...Not surprised by that.
All of the revived interest in SC for racing is due, really, to one player: BlackMaze
His enthusiasm for racing has been fully supported by CIG. They are making race tracks in game based off of what BlackMaze and his group have done.
All of this is due to him.
Before SC, he was a racer/canyon runner in Elite.
Odyssey wrecked that for him.

you might know him better by this series of videos

regardless, any of the new racing stuff is directly correlated to odyssey
I'd say "waves of instability" is accurate
CIG released 3.18 because they wanted to run a ship sale:
The PTU was full of continuous problems, even without a "large player load". Even Berks says the patch should not have been released, and he played it almost every day.
To be fair, almost all of us who've been with this dumpster fire for a while and were active during the lengthy PTU phase said exactly the same thing...as well as pointing out that the premature release was forced solely to facilitate a marketing event.I'd say "waves of instability" is accurate

It's not that difficult to work it out even without reading between the lines, it was blatantly obvious

Whats really scary though is they still sold a ton of ships despite the PU being almost unplayable.
I swear, at this point they could shut down the servers altogether and some people would still buy new ships.
They have not stolen enough ED players yet then...
I don't know how much I trust that chart, but I give Chris Roberts full credit for finding a way to monetize games in a way no other games had ever managed.
Which explains why I lost all hope for humanity.
