100 billion star systems

[Patrick_68000]

Impossible of all to visit them. But impossible also to visualize them all on the map of the galaxy

I made a few corrections :

Sooo... Idly playing with a calculator at work, I figure that if this game last (an unrealistic) another 30 years... you need to visit around 105 stars every second, continuously around the clock, in order to see them all in time! Could be problematic.

I said dark system not dark solar system, way to overcorrect.
Oh and brown dwarfs aren't stars as they did not pass break even conditions so may wanna rethink that one too.

Sure you did - I was just wondering If dark systems would count torwards the 100/400 billion star system number, and thinking they should not but may count anyway.

And yes, you're absolutely right about the brown dwarven question - for some reason I was thinking about red dwarfs (and can't even claim colorblindness in my defense ) - my bad.

That's the galaxy for you. Even with magic hyperspace ships, it would take many generations to explore every system.

I love it. Especially because it is multiplayer - I think it will be interesting to see how the playerbase handles such open vastness of virtual space.

It should count in the 400 i think, dont know if it does, but the 400 billion star number is calcuted out of the milky way's mass i think.

...we won't be able to visit that amount of stars in our life time

Frontier needs to let us transfer our accounts to next of kin to carry on for us when we pass.

We will sail across the galaxy for generations

fine i'll make it a jpg :

I was just reading this thread and didnt realise until seeing your chart that we had had a peek of the week showing all these new systems.

Excellent news!

50 systems is easily enough for me to fire the game up again

I don't know about you guys, but I think this is problematic!

Um, so they will be distinctive then...

I take your point, and for those that choose not to go for the planetary landings or walking about expansions (Boggle), they're going to have to contend with some "samey" looking systems. But for the rest of us, hopefully everything will be worth looking at - because there will be significant differences.

yeh the landing on planets thing has been something iv been looking for my entire life in a game. i cant imagine anyone not wanting that experience
