Why anyone wants to 'share' data online and 'compete' to be the one that records stuff is to my mind 'missing the point' of nms, it is really a single player game and should be played as such, this other stuff is not important, you don't need it to validate your life or anything like that.
I still have never connected online in over 200 hrs of NMS gaming, and my experience is all the better for it, and this kind of issue and concern probably shows why?
Anyway, that is just my opinion and preference, and this 'issue' will not impact my fun with nms, i suspect a patch will be made to fix this at some point.
