You simply play the game, and depending on your configuration (your choice) some of the other ships you meet as you travel around are real players as opposed to computer-controlled ships. It may be a friend you have agreed to rendezvous with here, or it may be another real player you have encountered by chance. | |||
All players will be part of a “Pilot’s Federation” – that is how they are distinguished from non-players – so you will be able to tell who is a player and who is a non-player easily. | |||

These events will create opportunities for players as the resources and people required for building will need to be transported and there will no doubt be related military missions and scope for increased piracy. | |||
