Space Commanders rebel as Elite:Dangerous kills offline mode

Erm non story

Offline mode has not been canned its still there all they are changing is that occasionally it will update the galaxy with things that the online game has found.

This sounds like a very good thing to me - want to potter around the galaxy on your own - go for it but you can now see the planets routes etc that people have found changing the galaxy in a more natural way than just generating things randomly does.

Quite honestly who actually has totally offline machines at the moment that don't occasionally see the internet? Who actually plays offline games where they have put out content patches online without the patches? I suspect that if you never want to update the game then it will still keep going just not with the newer stuff

Jobs needs to jump first!
