The only thing FD have said they'd ever simulate is the galaxy, stars, planets etc. The rest is all gameplay so OPs argument that people are playing a simulator and the "logic" about grouping that follows from that is even more flawed than usual for these type of threads imo.

Singleplayer Nostalgia BBCMicro?
Surprise! Its 2014!(almost 15!). WE ARE ONLINE! Threads about "immersion"? Haha Multiplayer is what immersive we can get! You withdraw multiplayer from a game then you withdraw an immersion from the game. Sad some ppl cant get it.

If you're going to put words in my mouth at least make them tasty.
I did mention of what the anti-griefer mechanisms we already have in beta are enough
That wasn't really my point. What I was saying was that there'll be greater profit for traders and explorers to be trading and exploring away from the central hubs like Earth, which means there will be more profit for pirates and bounty hunters to be pirating and bounty hunting the players away from Earth, which means the majority of players actually visiting places like Earth are going to be tourists and players in small ships that can't reach the further profitable territories.
That in turn means there won't be much profit to be had killing or attacking those players, which therefore reduces the risk to the point where the only person likely to start shooting you is someone that just wants to kill you for the thrill of it.

What happens now is You realising there will be no Elite (1984) anymore. Not being harsh.
You know. Like there will be no Pac Man as You remember it.
This is really funny. Thanks for amusing me.
Well, you know. What with the size of the galaxy, the grouping mechanism, solo online and the fact that this is not a PvP centric game... I think ED is going to be closer to the 1984 version than you think, only better. Better because players can now co-operate with each other against whatever this huge great sandpit can come up with.
Ahh; but its wonder full we solo players will have the best space game we can enjoy...

But u cant call it SIMULATION because it doesnt include others, U can call it single player AI universe.

Thatswhy i find it a single player and therefore i cant call it a simulation simply because theres at least one more person in the universe. I would call it a simulation when single player due the other facts (like mikrroring physics laws in a single player mode) but it doesnt. Theres no Newton here and if theres no other player in "your" game and no real "laws" then its a fantasy not a simulation.

Make no sense, OP kept changing his ranting looney arguments to a dead end.
And again simulations are not bound to Multiplayer.
PlaneX, Microsoft Flight Simulator 10, ect.
Hmmm, it's not a sandpit though is it? It's more like the nursery itself with lots of soft corners and padding. Everyone has to share and play nice. It's not a bad thing, just not what I was hoping for. I prefer competition, it seems I'm at odds with a lot of the ED population who are more of the "everyone's a winner" school of thought.
