Settlements- what size limits do they have?

Perhaps I've eaten too much sugar but I was thinking about settlements, how big can they get?

Could FD for example, make one that stretches for a few square kilometers, or GTA sized? When planets become explorable, will these be the cities? We would need more signs of life, but it would be amazing to fly over a Mega City 1.

I have no Idea what FD have in mind, however you can make the cities as big as you almost want. This is done in many games older than ED.

In one of the recent live streams David Braben mentioned that there will be larger "city" like settlements that will be coming later in season 2.

Could well be. After all once you have the assets to make small settlements, you have the assets to make large ones --you just put down more of the same stuff. But if you add moving vehicles, cranes etc. you need some code that generates traffic movements based on settlement configuration. Easier than simulating crowds but could form the basis for it in the future.

I watched Blade Runner again last night and mentally replaced the spinners with Elite ships.....I know it's a way off but ;)

Outland is worth a revisit for a dystopian off world future.
