Yes, you are missing we are playing in one universe.
Seriously, stop this people. Forums aren't player base.

May I refer you to Mr Aunt's excellent thread on the same topic? https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/427406-Time-for-separate-servers
Thanks wotherspoon I missed that post. Had a read and some good info but still leaves me wondering what the problems of separate universes would actually be.
What would be wrong with having 2 universes? or even multiple universes?
For Frontier - double the cost and resource requirements (more or less) to maintain 2 different storylines.
For players - none
Nonsense. Lot of people - I will say majority - play because it IS single universe.
People who want their own sandboxes are loud, yet minority.
For players - none.

This makes sense, I suppose things such as new stations and the progression of repairs is dynamic and affected by player actions but I can't think of much else that would be. The thargoid progression seems pretty much on rails and we don't have any impact on the outcome of the war. Maybe that will change though. I guess the newsletter would have to be different.
It's just a shame there has to be all this arguing because of the PVP/PVE divide when at the end of the day we all want the same thing. A cool space game.

I've just expressed my opinion.
Do you have any source for your claims? Like, actual figures of how many player out of the entire Elite Dangerous player population would prefer to have a separate servers?
Didn't think so
What we need... is a poll!
That's not true with Thargoids, as you can prevent a system from being attacked by destroying enough Thargoid Scouts.
