Does private play use peer to peer connection?

[akram]

My student apartment has god awful internet which locks me out for 8 hours anytime p2p is used. If I just boot up the game and go into private play will there be any p2p connection made?

no idea would not have thought so...…………. try just b4 bed time A!

I really wouldn’t think either private or open play use p2p; the only data fetched or uploaded in private play is info regarding whether or not planets/stars in the system have been scanned or mapped, which would be stored on a server. So imo you should be fine

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

open uses p2p when in the same instance as another player that's a fact

Private group uses P to P as well. You have to create an instance to share with other players

All commander-to-commander interactions use peer-to-peer. This includes voicechat and normal chat.

If you want to avoid peer-to-peer connections, your only option is playing Solo, which uses direct connections (to AWS) only.
