I don’t think you can, but the game is so boring that I never played long enough to find out. That’s the point I’m making. I’m not interested in a multiplayer game if there are no randoms to run into. Might as well just play an SP game.
These days running into other players is far more common on the Expeditions due to all the players having the same goal and quest pathing, but you still bump into real people the closer you are to the galactic center in the regular game modes.
In terms of the ‘boring samey planets’ when was the last time you played? Because with the current terrain generation, water effects, gas giant systems, fully submerged worlds and new fauna/flora generation I’ve yet to find any planets that were identical.
Why is this even an issue for you? Just play it like SP without thinking about online factor. Maybe you will stumble upon some player after a month of playing, giving you a proper “holy fucking shit” moment, but realistically why even think about it and why turn it into a turnoff?
You can run into players organically?? I thought you had to go into the Nexus for that

So you don’t know, you just claim stuff
