In my solo online tests it receives about 30 Bytes a second and sends about 8 bytes a second every couple of seconds and then a quick KB burst when opening station screens etc. Hardly optical fibre broadband speeds but yes it is reasonably chatty even if just to keep a connection to the server.
No Single Player offline Mode then?

There's an idea. Why don't Frontier bulk out the tutorials and make these playable offline? They would need some engaging tutorials enough to keep people entertained without a net connection.
This strikes me as a reasonable compromise on the Kickstarter offline promises and wouldn't be too difficult to implement.
If FD committed to this now as a future feature / addon it would stop a lot of refund requests and bad press.

I got officially warned and my post deleted for asking a trouble maker to leave the thread, apparently they have a right to post, troll or not.
As I said earlier, their right to free speech is the same as the Westboro Baptist Church right to free speech
I can't speak for anyone else, but that wouldn't get me to retract my refund request.
No point trolling here then, is there?

I'm aware that they planned to add an offline feature, that was not in debate. The point was that the feature wasn't removed from the program as eeps implied.
They should because right now this thread isnt talking about offline mode anymore but more a venting thread where everyone are lawner to be
And this comment is designed to fan the flames?
Seriously, it's that kind of comment that contains no value to the actual thread subject, which is the very thing you are talking about.
And this is the GG thing I was referring to. I'm not talking about the motivation. I don't think people clamoring for refunds are misogynistic and dishonest about what they want. I mean that the first recourse seems to be economical pressure and online terrorism in the sense that there is a widespread attempt to defame and damage the reputation of the developers and the product.
I find that very low.
Yes it was removed.

And if it never was a feature, why did they advertise the game having it?
It's not like people are going around making up a rumor that FD smells in the schoolyard. It's that FD visibly filled their underpants to capacity in public and it's dribbling out.
Hasn't the Reddit effect overtaken the Slashdot effect yet?
You must be reading a very different thread to me. There might be the odd hyperbolic statement here and there, but mostly it is people being critical of a dev for failing to deliver on a promise. That's not defamation.
There is no evidence or proof offered by anyone on here that it was ever developed. So it hasn't been removed - a decision has been made not to include it.
Two different things - same result to a lot of people.

Oh
I take back some points in my last post – not enough facts. Therefore I still would press on the matter of quickly delivering facts on the decision.
In such a sensitive area, it should be communicated quickly when, how often, how long, for which precise reasons, with which security precautions concerning privacy etc. this online-single player will be happening, whether regular online updates would be enough or why not etc.
It is very positive, though, that a privacy/online topic arises such a critical interest in so many participants. Good sign for web competence.

There's plenty of stuff going on at other sites, and apparently DDOS and other sabotage in the works.
