It's said that EDO is a mile wide and an inch deep,
but there is depth to the game if you look for it.
 
Actually, it's more of a simulator, with gameplay bolted onto it.  Yet
exploration, trading (space trucking), bounty hunting, and space
battles can be done in PVE or PVP environments.
 
And the environment is big.  Real big:  a 1:1 scale simulation of the
Milky Way.

 
 
A Cobra fits in 1 ft. by 1ft. on the sceen.  There is way more than 1
sq. ft. of real estate aboard a Cobra.  It is about the size of the
Millennium Falcon which seats 4.

I don't get it, unless you're exaggerating.

The sense of scale of the ships is hard to figure out if
you stay in the cockpit all the time -- but with Odyssey, we
now have "space legs" and can get out and look.  (Earlier, you
could get out and look at your ship with a scarab rover, and Odyssey
adds the scorpion rover.  But that's not the same as looking your
ship over while standing next to it.)

Also, have you tried the camera suite?  ctrl-alt-space.

The Cobra has two seats.  The Millennium Falcon has 4 in the
cockpit, and more in the back.  In a larger ship, such as
the cutter, you can seat 4, which is a full "Team".

Old term:  "Wing"
New term:  "Team"
Our term:  "Squadbunch"

Who is "us"?  Our player group.  There's an amazing community
of EDO players that participate in different player groups.  One
of the largest is Canonn:

But that's not us.  We are the much smaller "Dangus Investigations".
