    It may make you happy to know that ED has solo mode. Player fleet carriers are still around (as they act as psuedo stations out past the edge of developed space) and the markets are still effected by player actions, but you don’t have to worry about Cmdr Immersion Breaker screaming by in his hot pink jankmobile, or ganking you with it.

    It’s also worth noting that compared to the size of the universe in ED, the amount of “crafted” environments is relatively small (but definitely there). The universe is so big that depending on where you are in it, you can also go long periods without encountering other players. It’s a simulation before any sort of RPG.
