===How will single player work? Will I need to connect to a server to play?===
: No, it will be possible to have a single player game without connecting to the galaxy server. You won't get the developer injected events and you probably won't be able to sync between server and non-server (again they'll investigate).
 
: The online galaxy of '''[http://elite.frontier.co.uk Elite: Dangerous]''' is a shared universe maintained by a central server. All of the meta data for the galaxy is shared between players. This includes the galaxy itself as well as transient information like economies. The aim here is that a player's actions will influence the development of the galaxy, without necessarily having to play multiplayer.
 
: The other important aspect for the developers is that they can seed the galaxy with events, often these events will be triggered by player actions. With a living breathing galaxy players can discover new and interesting things long after they have started playing.

: '''Edit''' (as of 11/14/2014):
: A fully offline single player game will no longer be possible. Frontier Developments has decided the feature is not feasible and has no plans to implement it in the future. A single player game will continue to require an internet connection in order to receive data and updates from the servers. Every transaction made, such as trading goods, will require a connection and will keep the player's game updated alongside the shared universe. This has caused a significant amount of backlash from members of the community, many of whom denounce the developers decisions and claim to have backed the game solely for the sake of offline play.
