Genuine question here, any idea what percentage of that 42k are multis and/or bots?

There's some competition in it if you choose to play that way, but it's far from the only way to play. Who are the explorers competing with?
Eh? You just invented that connection for your own benefit.
I am fully aware you transfer goods and chattels in ED and firmly believe that is for the better.

Yup - offering consensual PvP for those that wish to participate in it.
No, you don't refer to the active player base, you are referring to concurrent players. I am referring to the active player base which is how many unique players logged in during the last 2 weeks. Concurrent players doesn't tell you anything because this number is highest when a game is launched or a new update is realesed.
Elite has a good numbers. When you realize we play loading and re-login screens. Little more effort and this game would be epic.

Look im not going to argue semantics with you. I know there is other stuff in the game. Just like you do.
So lets cut the here. Im talking about thats what lacking in this game. Go explore if thats what you like. You're getting lots of updates to that in the Beyond update.
But you know you can drop Data bombs for the BGS from exploration right? Could be used to influence systems. But what, I dont know anything on these forums eh?
Do you think everybody plays elite at the same time. lol what a silly thing to say.

How about that non-consensual unbalanced PVP through the BGS? And powerplay?

It's perfectly balanced - players can engage in all activities that are effective in relation to the BGS in all game modes - and the BGS was designed around indirect PvP in a game where direct PvP is entirely optional.
.... what those that prefer direct PvP cannot do is force those that don't to engage in it.
Excellent, glad we could clear that up. Competition if you want it, but you don't have to if you don't. Awesome.
Over the last 2 weeks 65000 different people play Elite Dangerous. There are probably a lot more than that as it doesn't include console players or people who do not use steam. Elite player figures are pretty good. I am pretty sure it will go up and down as it usually does and peaks whenever there is an update, like most games out there.

Whatever you say. Powerplay is not working right now because of the same problems the BGS holds.
There is no getting around it. You can talk until your little eyes fall off your avatar. The facts of the game prove other wise.
Enjoy the ride cause this is where I get off. How long you been riding this horse going nowhere?
What, again?

Those european players will be at work.
The american players will be asleep.
No PS4 players.
No Xbox players.
No non-steam players.
How did I know that some steam numbers would enter into the thread..... Oh, I must have used a crystal ball!
If FD had the vision, they'd create a set of developer tools and sell licenses to third-party developers.
Primarily, it'd be for content development, but within limits they could allow some restricted feature development as well.
Then the sandbox would fill up with real variation and destinations and ED would start to fulfill its potential.

Facts?
I'm certainly enjoying the ride - and I've been here for over five years. The horse's destination would seem to be a matter of opinion - some see it as heading for the knacker's yard whereas others see it as heading for verdant pastures....
Mind the step.
