Ya'll need to get involved with the background sim. I've been toppling systems left and right for the glory of the Alliance. Up to 900 hours in this game. Not sure what lack of depth you all are experiencing.
Hopefully Powerplay will streamline it so people can figure out the depth of the game more easily. As it stands right now, most people don't even realize how they impact the background sim, and why it is so important. Also note, that's another reason for always online: Everyone, everywhere playing the game is impacting the sway of galactic politics. The system flipping, the battling between factions, all of that would be lost in the game if there was offline.
Now that isn't an excuse. There should be offline. They promised there would be in their kickstarter, but they didn't deliver. Just saying there is a reason in the game for it.
Also, if any of you all haven't made the connection yet: Elite Dangerous' system is exactly the same as the system proposed by EQ Next for world development. Interesting connection, I think.
