Odd question, can you play the current version of Elite Dangerous in single player mode and never have to interact with other humans players? I'd like to replicate something more like the original game play rather than some PvP murder sim.
You can play alone, but not offline, in Solo. However, even in Open, your chances of meeting other players is pretty low outside of certain hotspots.
I wonder if E:D will ever be available for Offline play. I mean, unless it becomes another EVE Online, sooner or later people will abandon it... if not completely, anyway enough to encourage the shutdown of the servers before the infrastructure becomes economically unsustainable.
Perhaps this will some time after they released an E:D 2?
(not that I know. Just guessing what could ever lead people to leave...)
Oh I've a bloody good reason!
*begin rant*
So all I've been watching on how to make credits in E:D, was to roam here, trade there, shoot somewhere in the middle.
Shooting for me seems to be a lot of miss, rather than hit. Also, I've lost a few ships to the AI thinking "I should be able to tank them with this shield!!"... BOOM!
Roaming is cool, I reckon I'll be good at that, but trade, trade was something I was good at finding.
Moved down to Ceos/ Sothis, as both places are in Boom time, and was having fun with the Type-6, then the Diamondback Explorer, and woot! finally just got the Type-7!
Just before I got it, I accepted a mish to transport 180 gold from one port to another, and I thought it was meant to be!
I'll grab the new ship, make it's cargo hold large enough (it's a backwater town, no 6 rating anything)
Head to the station to pick up the gold and the docking computer says I can't land, as no pad large enough.
*end rant*
So, I've cancelled all my 23 million credits worth of journeys, as I now have no idea what stations will accept my new behemoth.
I can't go back to the type-6, onwards and upwards folks, there is a way forward
This, has most definitely, put a spanner in the works.. I won't be playing E:D for the rest of the week,
.. TL;DR, and now I'm being fined 5 million credits because I can't land my ship?
F*&K this game.
Probably will replace my FDL with it.
