Right, well then solo mode should be offline mode too and characters shouldn't be able to change later on so no issues with cheating / exploiting different modes.
No Single Player offline Mode then?

Will the game be DRM-free?
Yes, the game code will not include DRM (Digital Rights Management), but there will be server authentication when you connect for multiplayer and/or updates and to synchronise with the server.

Good! this is now my concern. For now I'll stay with E
; but if either of the 'Expansions' end up "on the cutting room floor", goodbye and the door won't slam my back side on leaving; -too many others will be following me...You still don't get it. I'm not being mean here. Please, as only one example, then guy who works on an oil rig for weeks at a time. He has no net connection for the game. He might be able to fire off some e-mails or a few posts to a forum but you can't play a connected game like this over a shared company satellite link. There are many more examples like this in this thread. Please have a read before posting similar comments again.
Yea people complain that they are not getting what was apparently promised to them. Tho Im trying to figure out some ideas on how it could be still implemented.
Surely you must be a lawyer. This is not just about what's legal and what isn't. As we know Frontier have changed lists in their store among other things, which is still legal, but that's no way to treat your customer and it's bait and switch.
It was mentioned and clearly listed on the Elite store a matter of weeks ago I believe when I last saw it. Kickstarter, although when some of us paid first, has nothing to do with this, and no part in whether this is right or wrong, acceptable or not.
The fully dynamic experience is not required in an offline mode though is it. random missions, possibly the occasionaly update to the system layout from the main system is completely within the realms of code and design, fully dynamic true is not pracitcal, but the once a year update is very easily handled
What about the people who bought Alpha/Beta backer or pre-release through the zaonce.com store where it was clearly stated there was an offline mode?
Did you miss this in the FAQ?
Kickstarter FAQ said:
Pay particular attention to the last paragraph.
It was also confirmed & repeated numerous times on the comments pages, by both David and Michael... because it was a question that was asked so often.
Im certain there are plenty of ways to implement it. Just something or someone is stopping them from doing it.
And those who downloaded it and played it and post here but serve in the armed forces etc for long periods without fixed Internet connection and were relying on the promised offline mode, do they qualify for refunds under the T.o.c's?
Actually it depends on local laws. But I'd be incredibly ashamed of anyone who dealt with this issue via ccard companies or by attempting to threaten legal action without being mature enough to deal with Frontier first.
Some people will just never get it. Maybe because their entire gaming experience has always had online. I started gaming before the internet was widely available, and to play multi player, you had to build a home network. It's rather disheartening to be labeled as having entitlement mentality, but this trend of everything being on the cloud, online only, and completely connected is very troubling. When I saw that a complete offline mode was an option, I lit up. I couldn't believe a modern day game was going back to the roots of which made a game, legendary. I could play it whenever I wanted, however I wanted. Today's gaming industry, is truly Passionless.
Indeed. And there have been multiple posts by devs saying its inclusion is a thing.
And would that count for the full amount pledged in the Kickstarter, or just the cost of the retail game?
Sorry, I'm still missing the word "promise." Also, it clearly states at the end they will investigate. They did, and deemed that it wouldn't work the way they intended. Sorry, you just argued against yourself.
