Frontier to release that 'offline' mode/patch that was developed before elited launched in its current form, yet never implemented.

Elited needs modding
Elited needs a true singleplayer offline mode decoupled from onlineplay
It is impossible to balance solo with online/wings gameplay
It is impossible to balance current implementation of open/groups ( with pvp ) and solo ( with pve )
It is impossible to cater to both open mode folks and solo ( who are playing solo because that offline mode that actually came with elited was cut out and instead it was switched to needing a server conection whatever and whatnot)

The effects of disgruntled customer base ( and players leaving ) is already in effect
Do this before its too late

ONLINE GAMES OR ONES NEEDING a server to actually be playable never have an future ( save for wow wich is an exception , but elited is not an true mmo never will be at any rate )
If elited continues along this path there will be more and more compromises to the detriment of the game for both open and solo players, surely you the creators of the game can see this already
Look at fallout series , elder scrolls,gta to name a few, its very sad what is the current state of the game .[sad]

That's one dead horse we're beating on, here. :)

Seriously, though, I think this is something that is impossible at this point. Going forward I expect incremental changes, not complete re-imagining of the core game structure.

Meh

Sorta

It does get a bit frustrating dropping into USS facing a wing of 5 by yourself. Not much to do but jump out right away.

Other than that, Solo probably isn't too much different than what I would expect from offline.

We need the single player offline game we had originally been promised, that's for sure. Right now, nothing else will see me play Elite Dangerous again.

I always find it funny how so many want this. :D

Have you ever considered the amount of data it would take to store 400 billion star systems on your computer?... If each one was just 1 byte in data... that's a sizable chunk of your HDD! :D

There is an offline mode: http://en.spaceengine.org/

But seriously, I did want an offline mode too... but that's already dead and buried. If they released what they had done, then the link above would likely be a fair representation of it. Mind you, I haven't looked at SE for a while now.. so maybe not :/
