Having seen that video it has actually swayed me towards a pre-order. I am still not convinced it will hold my attention long enough to get to the centre of the galaxy but it looks like there will be enough to get my money’s worth and even if it turns out to be rubbish then at least I have support a dev team trying to do something different.

Nope. IIRC, you can see where they are on the galaxy map but that's it.
I struggle to understand why it's an online game at all really. The chances of you encountering another player or even any trace of one seems fairly low so why not just call it a single player game and be done with it? Unless there's more to it than I'm missing or they haven't' talked about yet.
Soldato
Indeed, they keep talking about the chances of stumbling across a player, but surely people will tell their mates what planet they are on, warp there, and then play the game in tandem? I can imagine large clans of people meeting at planet X, then moving forward together

I've already talked about this - the galaxy is HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE. You are TIIIIINNNNNNNYYYYY. There is no way you can warp around and have a quickie session with your mates. I don't think the devs have said how long it will take to reach the centre of the galaxy but you certainly won't do it in an evening. So it will be the same as meeting friends. Unless by a pure random stroke of luck they are in a neighbouring system.

Thank God. I don't want hundreds of potential players romping round the galaxy with each other griefing/ganking noobs just starting out for the lolz. Total game ruiner. This isn't world of warcraft.
And I hope they don't bow to any kind of pressure to implement such a system, either. Last thing we need is Call of No Man's Sky Duty.
LOL I had the same notion about having easily accessibility to friends - gamers are just ****sThank God. I don't want hundreds of potential players romping round the galaxy with each other griefing/ganking noobs just starting out for the lolz. Total game ruiner. This isn't world of warcraft.
. I cant see why there couldnt be some async gameplay...ps3ud0

Only just watched that 21min new footage.
Two things that is unbelievably mind blowing was the ships portal window where he showed his tiny crosshair on the planet and said that was about the size of area he was exploring on the planet!!
Also the galactic map, everyone of them stars was a solar system!!!!

I was already way, way too hyped for this. After watching that recent gameplay though... 
I need this game!

What other players?
Seriously. Did you see how long it takes just to get to land on a planet? From this distance in the screenshot, it's going to take 16 minutes in realtime just to land!
But then again, maybe he wasn't going at maximum speed.
Soldato
lol I get that.
Im keen to know what interaction options you have with other players.

You could possibly run into other players nearer the center. But you won't know it's another player. So there's minimal interaction. (You can kill them, though) Sean couldn't express enough this is more of a single player experience. Traditional multi player might be added in the future but they're unsure yet.

Yes and no, as in not directly but by markets. So if you sell something the players in the same system will be able to see what you are selling. Not 100% sure but remember reading something like that.

Could be interesting. Hope it has a proper complex economy.
