MP is already built into the game though. It's MP, but it's not MP. You can see your friends on the galactic map. If they're willing to wait you CAN get to them.
The two streamers who couldn't see each other was a bug. They were supposed to be able to see each other.
This game is, and will have MP, rather it's dev supported or mod supported. Most likely the latter.
