Do provide a source to this statement. Where are you getting your numbers from? How many are "Offliners"? Without something to validate, this post is as worthless as any other you've made.
No Single Player offline Mode then?

Constant connection, for every state change and transaction needs server confirmation.
1% out of 100,000 is still 1000. That's 1000 annoyed people. You get that amount complaining to OFCOM about a TV ad and the ad gets pulled.
In the case of a game, they'd be better off complaining to these people.

Wanting offline for pausing... You know you can just drop out of SC and sit there nothing will happen. I have done that if I have to deal with one of my young children at night.
The game doesn't take that long for me to open. Try playing kerbal space program that game takes minutes to open and that is currently a single player.
Edit
Though if you are doing a mission you are stuffed... That maybe is annoying but not a show stopper.

Well, I have at least some numbers. You have nothing at this point.
And that doesn't even matter. It's done.
Copy&paste half of the DDA here.
Yeah, I can see that. Just seems odd that they said 'from time to time'
If the beta is anything to go by, "from time to time" equals every time you dock, trade, accept missions, what have you. It's a play on words, nothing more. Solo online is online.

Lol cant agree more.
Beside that

This will be relayed for sure and can have a major impact and i dont want it for Frontier.
There are allways solutions, like saying ok we cant for the moment but we are aware that in the future we will provide this mode.
Hope they will communicate tomorrow to quiet all of this.
You have no numbers, to be exact, and yet again you're falling through because you have zero basis for anything you say beyond wild speculation and fanboyism.
You're wrong about DRM, you're wrong about this, and everything else pretty much. You really are just a fanboy and will be ignored as such. Have fun with your cut content.
Yet this will no doubt keep going at least until the 22th. *sigh*
You can request a refund through the store. Each request will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
I meant BIG features. These are all small things who are either changed, they decided to do it other way or not to do it at all.
DDF was essentially a big wishlist, created together by devs and forum members. There can always be iterations and improvements.
Nothing about how they are handling it is either honorable or honest. They in no way made it seem like there may not be a single player offline option. They didn't even mention a caveat of if possible, or it is intended but not completed, no all the language they used regarding offline made it seem as though it was baked in from the beginning. If they were honest, and. It digital snake oil salesmen, they they would have said we are trying for offline, we are working on including it, or its something we have no intention of including since the beginning. I opted to support ED over SC in march because offline didn't even seem questionable. They lead a lot of us on. Now they have lost our trust. I hope this thread can help them change their mind about their practices and treatment of who thought they were supporters but we're actually just suckers
That's pathetic.
Well to turn the argument around, have you actually tried playing the game in Solo mode for any length? Does it work? Im not defending anything other than common sense here because as per usual its completely gone out of the window.
you want a refund? Fine get on with it, leave the forums for the people that can play the game before you ruin it for the rest of us, and more than likely ruin FD as a company. There is a quite a lot at stake here, and people need to put it into a little more perspective than they currently are. Next there will be people organising some sort of rally to march on FD's offices ...
Its a video game , get some perspective in life ...
This is where we have to agree,nobody cares about this game ,it has a very small niche market,it's a MAJOR gamble for FD so I am pretty sure all decisions are not taken lightly ,if the offline mode had to go it had to go,there was/is no conspiracy here,give these guys a break.
I thought you were hiding from all this in the Private Backer's Forum?
