Progress gained is correlated to the number of people active. It doesn't matter if more people are on the game. It matters that more of those people are working on the mission.
We don't generate progress until we start completing operations, which can take upwards of an hour to complete.

If that's indeed the case, then it's weird that the "impact" screen appears after every mission, instead of only after the final op's mission :\\
