id estimated that 'ppl in space' will take till about june to get working right, so that you can occasionally see anyone at all already is considered an achievement ;]

Over the next few days/weeks, the reliability of the p2p connection that handles all this will be improved, and various bits that havent been written yet (like the smoothing/interpretation of positions & resetting the list of active space players when you change star system) will get added to make everything work much better.
Within a few weeks you'll be able to shoot each other in space, and a few more weeks after that i'll start putting in some gameplay elements like being able to capture cargo from enemy ships, and earning bounty/rewards for killing ppl who've gone about stealing cargo from others.
So basically.. its workin a bit now.. by June it should be playable

(About the same is true of the interiors...)

if you've ever played elite, you'll know that attacking innocents near a well-policed space station is never a good idea ;]
