Elite Dangerous is very, very big
I've visited over 600 star systems and traveled 2,860 light-years away from Sol. My focus has been on exploration for a while now.
...and this is how far out into the galaxy I've been: red lines, bottom. https://awoo.space/media/2vcdWxuCji8Om3pXs3o
Elite Dangerous is very, very big
I continue to be absolutely astounded that the devs said "Sure, we can make the entire milky way galaxy, actual size and with the full stellar population."
And players looked at that and said "Cool. Let's be explorers and cartographers and figure out the farthest reaches of where we can go."
Even though this is just the context of a videogame, humans are amazing.
