As the shared galaxy, with its pan-modal game features, forms part of the game that every player bought, no player actually plays a single player game - by design. That the game does not force players to play together to experience and affect the shared galaxy is another feature of the game - contentious for some - but a feature of the game we all bought nonetheless.I actually rather like the idea of this. Let those that want to play a single player game play their single player game.
Let those that want to play an MMO and have a competitive environment do so as well.
