A severe shortage of aliens

I dont think there is any intelligent life in our galaxy atm , both ingame as in real life. i havnt seen any atleast.
It would add a lot to the galaxy to have aliens of some kind... Even if they were technologically primitive and served as little more than a discovery for exploration to start with.
Unfortunately adding an external threat to the middle of a flawed power play implementation wouldn't be a great move though.

Dare I say....."they are coming...."?
Not necessary, as far as we know in real life we are the only ones in this Galaxy.
There could be more of course, but there don't has to be. But for all we know now 1 or 2 per Galaxy seems not that unrealistic.

And if there is intelligent life out there IRL what's to say they're any more developed than us technologically? If they're on the opposite side of the galaxy we may never encounter them if FTL travel prices impossible.
Well, we haven't found any IRL yet, though that said until we develop communication or travel faster then light speed, light itself for communication is very slow, and the galaxy is very big.
That said, frontier could easily add more alien races, there is more then enough space, and unexplored locations for them to be in an enormous amount of systems.
Agree, as I said there could be. But "could be" does not mean there is. Both is very well possible, not claiming for one answer to be right just saying both are reasonable therefore just having 2 in ED is not unrealistic.
Alltough in Elite there are 3 when Thargoids coming. Granted we wiped the third one out a while ago, but it was there.
"There are two possibilities. Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
Truer words rarely spoken.
I read in somebody's ED exploration blog, forget where or when, that they discovered 2 access denied areas on the far reaches of the galaxy. Both of a similar size of the human controlled areas. *Speculation* has been of alien civilisations in future updates. Doesn't mean it is or not?? I think it would be foolish not to, if and when the game is ready take on that dynamic.
Ok, I will bite.....Dolphins and ?......
I would like to see someone who is good at Maths give a fair probability for intelligent life developing on an earth like or other type (current thinking is there may be some kind of life on Comets) of planet.

Find a different form of life, even without intelligence, would already be an event
I found it the equation is this

The answer is much larger than I'd expected, 273,000 intelligent civilizations may be out there...
