400 Billion Pilots!

[Harry Stone]

Woot! I'm so happy to see that every system I go to, there's a pilot! Well even if it's just an NPC... Otherwise, it would get lonely out there... Can you imagine, going to a system and there is NO ONE? Inconceivable!

I will do my best to visit each and every system, all 400 billion, and check if the trend continues!

Of course, maybe someone is stalking me and I'm seeing the same Sidewinder pop in like clockwork, 30 seconds after I get somewhere. Hmmm...

Visiting each system, even for a second, would take around 12000 yrs RL time. Soooo, good luck with that...

Then ED is simply not for you, because ED is perfect! Because it's the space sim we true Elite fans always dreamed about: a scenery tour through the galaxy interleaved with grindy repetitive gameplay and lackluster multiplayer.

Where I was spawned led me to exploring the surrounding area and I went to system after system where there was no-one on my scanner, so it was a shock when I headed towards Lave when the scanner started to fill up with all those lollipops.

1 million ships = 1 ship per 400,000 systems on average.

True assuming even spread, however there will be more towards the core of humanity and around large resource centres. I am certainly finding lots less the further out into the wide wide universe I go
