Limit number of planetary signals per uninhabited system. Please.

Dude. I'm talking about the volume of those signals, that I'm considering too high, so I'm making a suggestion to reduce number of signals that produce escape pods in the black, thus creating little less ridiculous effect of them lying in piles everywhere.
It's a video game, and those signals are there for us to interact, but everything is part of world building and such high amount of those signals creates weird atmosphere. All I'm saying - reducing it would help creating more believable one, while not crippling anyone's gameplay too much (because people don't go 1KLY away from the Bubble to farm escape pods). And even if you can find some way to explain why every planet in 1KLY radious is littered with escape pods, it's not helping in creating interesting atmosphere in my opinion.
From what you're saying I take it wouldn't bother you to have more reasonable number, but you just accept the game as it is and somehow can't cope that someone has a suggestion.
I think I've tried to explain myself enough. If you still can't understand, then my communication skills are obviously not good enough.

600K people go missing in the US every year. If each of them had epirb and you had a scanner that detected them the US would light up like a Christmas tree. This is a high-tech developed nation with active police and rescue services covering most if not all the country, with all of it surveyed and mapped even if you can't actually say all of it has been explored. And it's not a dystopia (OK, some might argue that one). And that's just one nation that's been around for a few hundred years.
Imagine being a galaxy of trillions with unexplored space and hour away where there are no services and the cops/rescue may or may not care to look for you because it's a dystopia.
Someone should tell the Americans they're being ridiculous.

did not seem at all realistic or believable. Holy crap, silly me.United States Missing Persons Per Year
The 600,000 number isn't realistic, per the screenshot you have there - because later on in that same screenshot we find out it's actually 521,705, and of those 485,000 were resolved within a year.
So subtract one from the other, and that's 36,705 actual people actually missing. 600,000 is a sixteenfold exaggeration.
So I'm happy to say that claim of 600,000 a year is ridiculous, and luckily that's not what America is claiming here anyway.

If someone is missing for 6 months, then they're found out, it doesnt mean they weren't missing for 6 months
nothing ridiculous about that number
Yes, but >3 klys from Colonia on the opposite side from the Bubble?
That's why my first question was what yardstick is being used to say the ED situation is ridiculous. It seems some are hopelessly naive to reality. Remember this is just one nation, where the government is supposed to care about it's citizens and has the capacity to deliver most of that care. Dread to think what's happening in other countries.

Yes, people go somewhere without telling anyone, some die, some get killed.

But you don't find them every 10 meters in Amazon Forest.
Well, following the Everest movie (based on the 1996 tragedy) i started to read articles related to people losing their lives on Everest.
I was quite shocked to find out that dead bodies (hundreds of them) were left in place for years (sometimes only being moved in less conspicuous places), most known being Green Boots, his body was lying on the path to the summit, around 8500m, for almost 20 years
