To be fair, I haven't really seen Frontier push "MMO". Online game, yes, I have.
No Single Player offline Mode then?

Frankly, if the stellar forge needs significantly more resources than "regular" procedural generation it's an unnecessary and wasteful gimmick, since the end results are indistinguishable.
* and (also from the very beginning) that they'd have an offline mode where it didn't.

There will be 32 players *at once*, and there will be group/wing support. You can still meet thousand of players during one session. It is MMO. It lacks more refined player comms, that's all. It's doable, and ain't rocket science.
Yeah, arrogance to hide ignorance. Halo has absolutely no relation. You can play it strictly offline, no internet connection. Elite will NEED an internet connection not just to log in, but constantly to even play the game, and how is there not grouping?
it's an online game since yesterday
Oh woe is me, woe is me, how about being positive and praising FD for what they have done and all the wonderful things we have to look forward to in the future, far too many people crying here recentely full of misery and pessimism, people need to get a grip, go outside get some air and have some fun, it will be a great game, and if it isnt the world will not end becuase of it, maybe it would if the earth got hit by a 50 mile wide comet, but a few people worrying about a game will not.

It has always been online game with very potential offline version. Not other way around.
This is a game, not an astrophysical simulation.
It needs to produce something like looks like the Milky Way, not use relativistic equations to simulate how galaxies form to try to find out how dark matter works.
There have been programs that have simulated galaxies on PCs for decades, often with more fidelity than Elite.
It's been an online game for the past months and we all had fun playing it, right?

Oh please forgive the vast majority for daring to criticize a blatently devious move by a company - the developers have done a great thing, but I don't think many of us have issue with the devs, but the business decisions being made suddenly.
Positivity is earned.
uhm that was kind of his point, not mine. I was just showing him that whether or not it is a MMO.... it does require a persistant online connection, which is DRM regardless of whether you are a MMO or not.
The bug list?
it does not seem so since this is the biggest thread in all the forum

Anyway, this morning I let my mate down gently by saying 'you aren't going to be able to play ED' his blank expression told me he was letting the information sink in.

'Yeah I will' he replied
-
'no you won't, they have removed offline mode'
-
'well that sucks, they have lost a customer then, looks like I will need to go to the library next week and ask FD for a refund'
-
'Yeah, at least it was only a pre-order so shouldn't be a problem'
-
'Ah well, at least I can carry on playing Oolite'
