Hey FD, we're missing loads of stars!!

Just came across this article, maybe FD will add another hundred billion stars in the next update.

mmmm.....somehow I feeling a little disappointed at the lack of realism in this game

FD it's not me your letting down. Its yourself....

It's not about being enough though. They've taken into consideration the number of stars scientists thought that made up the galaxy.
Now, the question is how frequent, if at all, they want to update the game to match our knowledge of reality.

150,000 "handmade" stars, culled from existing stellar catalogues and current observational information is just the start. Then there's the other 400 billion or so stars that are procedurally generated. They aren't simply random, they follow "rules" that we see in observations today. Higher star density in galactic arms, lower density in the rifts, older stars outside the galactic core, younger stars in clusters... it's all consistent.

In a recent update, the devs said that there has been so many hundred thousand systems visited, which accounted for a fraction of a % of all stars. FD don't need to go adding more stars just yet IMO.
