    I read in the description that you don't have to be connected to play a skirmish with a bot, but im having trouble doing this, I am asking this because my internet is very slow and I am not able to play online some time's, but in saying that I am very impressed that Uber has made the online so assessable, I get 20 kbps on bad days and 100 kbps and on good days I can play my heart out, but sometimes I have bad days and cannot play an online match, so suggestions would be welcome.

    cheers' the E.M.P
    ps: you may find me versing you in PA sometime :D

    yea I looked more closely into the details and did a little research in 5 minuets, your right they will~ add it and when they do they may expect more players,

    I would also like to know why they haven't already added in offline, but I know one factor will be the testing.
    and what's planetary vanguard mean? are you a moderator? if so and if not thanks!
    im amazed at how fast the response was :D

    Offline play will be available at the release. A connection is required at this moment so Uber keeps a total control during the development process.

    Planetary Vanguard are community members who are the most active and beneficial to the community.

    Piracy, version control, bug fixing, and also so they can monitor the servers to find bugs there a lot easier, and test out new server features more quickly and easily.

    EDIT: Damn, double-ninja'd!

    ok well, welcome, the forum is home to many goodies, such as giving the game the direction you want, getting the latest piece of news first and mods of course. I have a beginner to PA mods thread where you can try out your first couple mods, If you click on my sig you'll be taken to the PA mod manager download.

    also if you find any bugs, say so here : http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/index.php (but do a search first)

    well you'll find the mod forum : -> https://forums.uberent.com/forums/pa-mod-developers.72/

    has an extensive doc on how to get started and the easyest way is downloading a mod, and looking at it's files.
    all the PA moddable files are mainly javascript, with some Html and Css thrown in, sometimes .json. we have two json encoder/decoders available on the mod forum, for both 2D and 3D models.

    Also use the reply and like buttons. they give notifications to your interlocutor, otherwise he may never know you answered :)
