Yeah, it'll be a pain for those with really restrictive connections, or who wanna laptop play while on the go or something. Can see the thinking though, that offline players could exploit static markets etc.
I'm still hiding in Solo right now, just enjoying the stability and smooth drop out of hyperspace. Looking forward to setting my expectations with Gamma (although I don't imagine I'll step into multiplay until a few patches have dropped )
Been chatting on the Reddits about future expansions, especially the out-of-seat stuff. Some people making the point that Frontier should do a good job of beasties, be they planet-based or alien, going by their various zoo franchises. On people tho, their canned 'Outsider' has me a touch worried... Same engine base etc, all be it a pretty dated build now. They do look a bit... Gary's Mod. (I kinda like some of the eccentricity in the character faces, and hell HL2 ended up being very personable, but I'm expecting a bit of uncanny valley to be coming our way. Filling a universe with tech and wonder is one thing, and they've aced a lot of that, but a peopled living universe is gonna be tough).
Action also looks a bit floaty, for what was apparently finished gameplay. Maybe that'll help with the zero-G stuff
But ach, that's all light years away anyway
