People keep saying they've been vague and dodgy but they've been quite upfront about multiplayer. No you cannot meet your friends. No you won't be Chewy and Han flying along completing the journey to the center together in less than 12 parsecs. Yes you can see other players. Don't ever expect to. Treat it as singleplayer. Don't get your hopes up. It will most likely not happen. If you ever do run into another player you will probably not even know unless they fly erratically or something. If you and your friend do manage to be at the exact same location in the universe no there is no guarantee that you'll exist in the same instance. Abandon hope all ye who play.
Can you trade? Communicate? Drop objects for other people to pick up? Shoot? Kill? Take hostage? Track?
This is also the first time I've heard anyone saying anything about instancing.
