No - you can set if to offline (after the first sign in) and fully remove your PC from the net. You will never have to connect again.

sweet i ordered the DVD version it will be here wednesday, so i will install it and add the mods from there, see how it goes. i have heard the interface on the game is quite complicated, is this true or do the mods solve this?

Not really in the traditional sense. What Ubisoft tried to do with the game was simplify the interface in order to attract a broader audience, but all it really did was take away a lot of functionality. Luckily, TDW's New UI solves this problem (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//dow...o=file&id=1582).

Yes, if you have TDW's UI then you can teleport to stations by clicking the portraits below, then the arrow at the right, which then displays the stations, if I remember correctly. In any case, I recommend you watch stoianm's excellent tutorials for the UI and other aspects of the game, all of which are linked at the main SH5 page here on subsim.
