Is it one giant server for every player, or are there multiple servers with a limited amount of players in them?

It's technically a giant server, but whenever you see people it goes by a lobby system, which has been compared with Journey. Which means that even if a hundred people met at the exact same spot, you'd only be able to see a couple.

I've also heard there is not going to be anything that distinguishes another player like a name bar over their head or ship, so you could fight with or pass someone and not realize it was another actual person.

Yep, and I think that makes it even more exciting! If you think you've found someone, I recommend doing excessive amounts of barrel rolls.

Lol, probably get shot down faster if they realize you are another. I thought it might be interesting to try and track someone down by following discovered planets. Might be impossible, as I think most will be headed towards the center of the universe and you might have to go sideways quite a ways to get in their line and then play catch up. Perhaps closer to the center it will be more probable to find another?

Probably, considering there would be more solar systems there.

All on one server :)

How do you play with other people? Not including your friends

You will randomly run into them during your adventure. There is a small chance you will encounter other players, but when you do, I can only imagine how cool it will be
