Look at the bright side: WC2 was probably the best-written of the bunch since Chris had so little to do with it. Sure the characters were a bit flat, but at least they were… well… characters, with stuff like motivations and relationships, rather than “I R stereotype 1B — must betray/protect/argue just because”.

I think... and maybe i'm wrong, and this is The Agent, who gets most of his info over beer from people who know people... so, its chinese whispers (or broken telephone depending on your origin), i think its referring to SC.
I get the impression (assuming this is in any way correct), that they are working towards kind of, more like the original goal, which was you play SQ42, and that opens into an open world called SC. That SC can be either played offline or online.
In a way, this would be awesome. A single player SC could be fantastic. Better still if they add private servers like they initially talked about. Multiplayer, without the jerks... unless the jerks happen to be your friends.
You talk about importing your SQ42 character into SC, and yeah, i could see that working if it was just the character. Now imagine if in SQ42 you earned an Idris (or whatever) and turned up in SC with a fleet of stuff. The whales might not like that. They paid thousands of dollars for their advantage. They don't want peons from SQ42 turning up with fleets like theirs without having spent a penny. Can you imagine the hundreds of non-whales competing with the whales for deck scrubbers and toilet cleaners and people who will stand to attention i the cargo hold while they shout at them? The whales will be annoyed! Oh, on the other hand, CIG have already got their money, screw those guys!
The travel discussion had far more to it than just summing things up as Elite = good, SC = bad.
It seems very duplictious to complain about biases when you are constanly misrepresenting things and throwing in a whole load of your own bias so that you can bend the narative to fit your agenda.
Yawn... "guiding hand" pep talks from wannabe father figures are as boring now as the first time I heard one.

They can take my money if star citizen is released and if its any good. I'm sure there are a few others thinking the same and of course there will be the grandchildren of the kick starer backers, which is a whole new generation of gamers

That's still more than I know. I don't have a scooby who half the youtubers/twitchers/honoured posters you're all talking about
This is where we start to get into ED 'modes' argument territory, because any such system is going to result in Player groups crafting/grinding away in their own 'safe' instances, only venturing out for combat when they're 100% ready and retiring to lick their wounds.
As SC seems to be more 'control of assets' focused in its mechanics based on the blurb I've read over the years, that's something that needs to be addressed.

Pass the Eye bleach and ear scouring tool.
What’s the TLDW of these?
There is no tell, only watch.
So much for real, not-teleporting elevators:
I am pretty sure Roberts & Co will have to make changes to the single player component to improve chances for monetization and up/cross sell of JPEGs and other random trash.
I would look at CIG more positively if SQ42 would give you a customizable, offline version of the PU without the uppity whales (self hosted would be best). I am sceptical this will happen.
