Sean Murray says the Earth-sized planet in Light No Fire will have 'real oceans' that players will need 'large boats and crews' to cross

As part of a new No Man's Sky update, Light No Fire also got a mention.

I'm curious how this will work. It seems that crossing the Atlantic ocean nowadays takes well over a week by ship. How do they expect players to make this trip as a group when you have no idea when people will be online? And how will they make this journey interesting?

Even if the game includes futuristic ships that somehow go at the speed of an airplane, it would still take like 8 hours of continuous sailing to cross.

I wondered this too, and maybe they are going to be a lot smaller but more numerous.
