I smell a... wumpus!?
Think of a moth. Now think of Mothra. I don't think steroids are going to cut it, Caddy.
I wonder if we could make a RPGWatch Star Citizen server?

A fully offline experience would be unacceptably limited and static compared to the dynamic, ever unfolding experience we are delivering.
What I fear is that there won't be a single player option. I know they've said there will be, but I suspect they'll end up canceling it like Elite:

This little tidbit has sent the Elite forums into a frenzy:
Yes, I'm thinking of Squadron 42. Hopefully I'm wrong, and it'll end up being a blast. Time will tell tho.If you're talking about Squadron 42 - then I think you're very wrong. That part of the game has been in development for a very long time, and he put his own brother in charge of development of it. Chapter 1 is supposed to be ready relatively soon.
Yep, it's the Kickstarter. The backers are a bit frustrated, because they see it as a broken promise.That's kickstarted elite revival project?
I refused to support it back then because it smelled wrong since the beginning.

Yes, I understand that. I think the article is still an interesting read on the subject of those who prefer to game in isolation. You did also just mention something about "a tiny portion of paranoid xenophobes", so I think the article is fair and relevant.
I think this article discusses it quite well.

Well, I don't play online multiplayer games on principle - on the principle that human interaction is not what I'm looking for in gaming, any more than it is when I read a book. I do that in different contexts.
I do think that "paranoid xenophobia" is a rather extreme and silly description, and I think the article discusses this group in a more interesting and reasonable way.
I don't play on-line games, simply because the "social interaction" is not an experience that I am searching for while gaming.
At first, I was only interested in Squadron 42, which is the off-line single-player campaign and that was the reason why I pledged for Star Citizen since I didn't care at all for the on-line component. However, over time, I have been getting more and more interested in the PU (Persistent Universe, i.e. on-line experience) and ended up being genuinely excited about it, even to the point that I couldn't resist buying some additional ships .
