Hyperspace travel/jump/warp vs fast forwarding the game?

Actually you could be onto something there, but it would need to be tightly controlled.

On the "main" server, when a set percentage of players have gone through enough "Instancing" - as you put it - the "galaxy clock moves forward by a fixed amount (with the players never actually seeing the clock), it brings everyone else "forward" so that everyone is up to date - and possibly factoring the multiplayer events into news reports available for everyone to read ingame while travelling through space or on bases.

This way it would allow for dynamic economies - and include the option of your activities being recognised in the galactic media ingame.

No problem with it. It comes with mplay so unavoidable. You can think of so much hacks.
Mplay is a huge feature wich would have big influence on original game design and game mechics. They have to make choices a few gamer surely don't like.
I expect they will work out the game where original elite formula is merge with online play.

There is something i'am missing. In the old elite (1984) when your're struggling to reach a station there (especialliy in an anarchie system) therw where planty of others that blocked the way - so you hat too take you're head and ship through. In the current game - no one bothers about you. no problem to reach really problemlatic (or someone that should be so) starports. Also i'am missing the ki. In elite 1984 there was a great insurity if the guy in the back was a enemy or or friend or a enemy after they scaned the cargo. To be precise: If some now ship arrived within the range of your scanners you did dont know (whaw what sources however) if it was friendly or enemey. Oly the behaviour of the other ship made the difference. In the current game the bots are spupid - so the feeling of 1984 got lost. Please, please lift th ai to some reasonayle level.

Buy the way: 1. There where 30 proposed whips proposed when launch the game ? Where are droy (and whon is your lan to add them ?)

It will be massively disappointing if you can't speed up time using 'Stardreamer' in the SP game. I'm a bit confused: is there a dedicated SP game? Or is SP simply MP, with only AI allowed? If that's the case, I don't see how 'Stardreamer' will be possible even in SP mode.

There is no "dedicated SP", the only difference between Open and Solo is that in Solo you don't see the other people - but they are there nonetheless.
