...Offline mode?

Congratulations for a well balanced release; the level of detail is really serious!

I learned about this project recently and purchased it, I find it really well implemented and very deep (no pun intended

).

I´ve tested to launch the game with steam in offline mode for testing and learning purposes, finding that at the moment this is no possible (no start key arises witout an online lobby). Is it planned for a next evolution of the simulation to allow for offline training...or even it is already possible and there is an unknown way to do it ?

In any case, a very enjoyable idea, happy with the game as it is now...

Why Steam offline?
If you dont want your friends to see what you playing just make you invisible on steam,
then create a invisible game in lobby and you all alone.

The convenience for being able to start a practice offline is for me twofold; first, i´m used to not to be connected if there is no need to perform any data interchange (personal preference).

Also, i´m occupying a slot in the server without really using it and probably occluding the server for others. probably there are lots of slots available, but in the case that the game would become popular and many newbies like me start connecting alone for practice, it could become a trouble.

By the way, I´ve had "visitors" when using an "Invisible" lobby...somethink could be bugged there. But this is not the problem, this is probably a non important bug that will be corrected on its time.
