I think it is good. We will be able to play offline.
I understand that you may need to to play online the first time to activate the key and all of that. But I suppose (and expect) that we will be able to play offline too.We can play offline. But we need to sign in online. Doesn't make really much sense. It was the same as Maxis did with SimCity now when I don't have internet (saying this much) I can't play. Is rather ridicolous if you ask me for an offline game.

It seems there would be a need for the Alpha to authenticate to Frontier's servers every time it's launched to prevent pirating the game. They'll want to ensure only authorized users can play the Alpha.
This has me very worried.I understand that you may need to to play online the first time to activate the key and all of that. But I suppose (and expect) that we will be able to play offline too.

An even bigger issue for me would be on vacations. The places I go on vacations I have usually no kind of internet access and refuse to use mobile broadband due to insane roaming costs.This has me very worried.
I have already paid..., it never occurred to me that an offline simulation game might insist i be online to play it.
i do a lot of gaming in-flight, and we have no in-flight wifi on air nz.
i really need to be able to start the game while not online, and play.
if it refuses to play for lack of a connection... well, i'd rather not.
this could be a deal-breaker for me.
Brett..... can you clarify?
Same here.. . . An even bigger issue for me would be on vacations. The places I go on vacations I have usually no kind of internet access and refuse to use mobile broadband due to insane roaming costs.
It would be a shame if this game would not work offline in such cases. . .
