Even SH Commander would work if Ubi gives the save files on your drive priority over theirs. The devs already said that the save files will be kept on the servers AND on your pc.

They did
They also said you can use any PC you like - if game installed - to play as your saves are on their server
So does that mean its the server save it uses
Or do you get a choice

Doubt that any work you do will be saved anywhere but your own PC but the question of do you have to be online to use the ME is a good one

And OSP will limit modding in some way
If you mod then you know the worst part is starting and restarting the game over and over - sometimes playing for only a minute to check something
Add connecting each time into that so yes it will make a difference
How much ?
Who knows

Thats the trouble with ubi's lack of information
Everyone is guessing
