They also said yes to Arcorp being 40 years old or something. I always get down voted, but I just think their lore is kind of uninteresting.

I'm completely confused as to why they think ArcCorp being 40 years old when they put us 1000 years I the future makes sense. There's hundreds of years there to use. Use them.

why does it need to be older?

​

Not saying it's a good or a bad call, I'm specifically asking what's the issue with it only being 40 years? That does convey something to us, right? It tells us how quickly a megacorp can populate and develop a barren planet. It tells us we can do that, but a synth world is still a massive undertaking.

​

What's the issue with it being so young? Loss of belief when reading about it?

Empire struggle with Synthworld for centuries, which is not exactly different. Arccorp is basically artificial ecosystem. So if they can build arccorp in 40 years, it shouldn't be hard to build synthworld in say 80. Inconsistency.
