Ditto. I want offline because I don't want other people to impact my game in any way whatsoever. It's simply not fun for me... needing to buy goods or equipment and someone (unseen) got there before me.

Hi guys, I don't have time to read through all the pages(300!?) any word on if refunds might be given? Gutted about this...
Very disappointed to hear offline has been cancelled. I feel for all those living in areas with poor or no BB as well as those of us with decent connection now unsure if they will be able to play in a few years time. I have lost a lot of respect for FD and am even more worried about the state of the game. Beta 3 is unplayable for me with mining being the only thing not bugged.
I also looked forward to modding my offline game. Not just 3rd party skins but full conversion like Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica mods. These sort of things extend a games life massively.
FD should be ashamed of themselves with this decision. Failing to honour a promise and I also don't believe its something they have not known for a lot longer. If Elite fails, they have a great career in politics ahead of them.
The people over at Star Citizen must be laughing their heads off.

Frankly I think it'll largely blow over, but there will be some who have a damaged reputation. Nobody is still really having a go at Maxis every day about SimCity, but SimCity gets mentioned as an example. Frontier will become an example used for similar cases in the future.
You can clearly play SOLO ONLINE mode. No teens, no stuttering.
Well as it's been pretty much confirmed most actions take place on the server and not in the client - a lot of these things are going to be very hard to do - not impossible, but as there is also no player market and gold farmers can farm skins and bobbleheads I very much doubt they'll give this game much attention.
Maybe with this many posts they will rethink? This reminds me of the Planetary Annihilation situation. People wanted off-line and eventually got it after release but the makers had to cancel their next game Human Resources because there wasn't enough backing. People were not happy I guess that they had not finished one game before starting the next.
I feel sorry for people who have no or bad internet in this case with Elite Dangerous. We have seen some other examples of people peed off: simcity, command and conquer 4, any single player game on steam such as Skyrim (when steam lost its off line mode). Software piracy is actually increased on games with such online requirements. Elite will be another game on a torrent site with a fake offline server program.
Personally I look forward to online with my mates but I'm not everyone, only 1 customer.

yep, you won't be the first to discover the Thargoids either. That'll l33tk1ngpowzu69.
Hope so. So far this isn't the case.
still did not got mine, (asked yesterday) but i hope they will change their minds
it could differ if you are a kickstarter backer or you bought it at their store.
still no official word apart from :"open a ticket in the store and we'll see"
I think with that case it was because they barely got PA out the door before announcing another game.
Yes people have already had them. Just cancel from the official website and each application will be looked at.
I'm not sure what to say here. I think I've just seen someone that thinks broadly.. WTFoxtrot?!?!
Offline has never been a deal breaker for me but I understand why people may want to play after FD goes belly up and the servers are gone. Kudos!
Still waiting to be acknowledged.
i played solo for the entire beta 2/3 and always got stuttering in solo mode near planets and in hyper drive. also got some serious issuess with audio and 4-5 seconds freezes
edit: it may differ from pc to pc tho

Sure, they are laughing, because most of their fans don't know that they don't have their truly private server SC anymore either, for almost same reasons.
They said to ask via a ticket in the Zaonce store (where you buy ship skins, etc).
I can't confirm but I'd suspect some of those people are the same people posting here, and certainly more of them I suspect are coming from other forums to gloat.
I get them in solo, private and online.
They appear to be graphical to me as changing the texture level makes them better but does not eliminate them.
They are worse for some types of systems.
Which is basically a double post, aka, not wanted.
Anyway, you can ask for a refund in the online shop. You would have known if you'd read the other thread.
