    Why doesn’t Elite let you travel offline? Like, set the destination, close the game, and reopen it 3h later.

      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.

      Because they decided to make the game always online in a persistent galaxy so the possibility a ganker finds has to be respected.
