Why doesn’t Elite let you travel offline? Like, set the destination, close the game, and reopen it 3h later.
Because they decided to make the game always online in a persistent galaxy so the possibility a ganker finds has to be respected.
That’s not true, you can play solo (but you still need to be online) and you won’t see other players
I actually forgot that’s an option, which just makes the always online an even weirder choice.
I’m not sure. I guess because they go hard in the simulation aspect of the game. Although if we’re being realistic, it’s unrealistic that you’d have an interstellar space ship without an autopilot. I read that there are mods to enable autopilot, but I also read they can get your account banned, so I stopped looking into them.
