SP seems impossible to implement, though. How will the BGS across thousands of systems be updated everyday sans any connection to Frontier's servers? How do you intend on influencing anything having to do with Powerplay or Thargoid states?

'Pity the fool' someone wise once said.The likelihood of me influencing the game is minimal couple this with the fact it seems that certain people are able to single leap across the galaxy along with a multitude of other dodgy tricks makes my contribution irrelevant. Single player could have and in my humble opinion should have been available from day one but they didn't so that's that hopefully if they make a sequel or new game they will take on board what us lone wolves say with no interest in MP whatsoever. All the triggers for events etc discoveries can be scripted and coded into SP and still have MP game were as the only influences the SP has is in his own game universe. Cheats are cheats games sports marriage every walk of life and in all aspects of life its human nature . But at the end of the day every popular MP game across all formats have been hacked even some idiots cheating in gaming competitions were it's been filmed live etc from COD to Mario some people cant help themselves
Kickstarter contributors got to name NPCs. You haven't met Fatty McMuffincake yet in her MuffinMamba
what riverside said, plus if the 'living galaxy' is at the end not much more than the permutation of randomly generated labels of factions in systems, you might aswell freeze the bgs and forget about the tick altogether. for thargoids, they could just itinerate through a handful of systems or even be static, wouldn't really affect gameplay much.
the only downside is that the procedural generator would be on the client, so people could eventually exploit it and chea .... oh wait!!!
I suppose that SP is technically possible in the context of a "frozen" game where one can link up with Frontier's servers for an "update" as to things like the BGS and other states, but certain features are virtually locked and others are either basically impossible or absurd. Beating back a Thargoid invasion, for example- how is one player expected to attain the requisite number of kills? How is one player expected to repair a damaged station by him or herself? How will a war or election ever be won or lost of the above-mentioned server linkup is never performed? Do they go on forever?
Like it or not, Elite is a "living" game whose universe is dependent on server updates to create a common experience. And yes, one day the game will be put to pasture and the servers taken offline- and I'm as curious as everyone else as to what will happen after that with the various game mechanics. Happily, that day seems far away as of right now.

25 days past after the statement and still no status updated.

Does anybody knows if there was a ban wave? Someone who has access to that cheat discord, was there any uproar or something? Anything?
