Just a question about these odds... I'm not actually an expert on this game, but isn't the general idea that everyone is traveling towards the center of the universe/galaxy/whatever it is?
Wouldn't that make it tons more likely that people will run into each other at some point?
It all depends on how wide that sphere (the entire galaxy/universe is) and the upgrade path and time investment needed to get to that center.
The math seems to be showing that average playtimes for the average gamer will have most people leaving well before that ever happens.
There are always dedicated "must be first!" types that will live on soda and beef jerky without sleep for a weekend to find some way to get there asap, and well ahead of the dev's projected times, but those are always minority types.
but who knows? Press information and developer expectations always seem to get tossed out the window when players actually get to spend time with the content.
