- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Been a while since I played so I suppose things could have changed but I doubt it. You can definitely play it by yourself and likely have a good time but every where you go and everything you do will have that feeling of "designed to be played with multiple people" all over it if that makes sense. The only big downside is you have pretty much no chance against other teams just trying to make things difficult for you. Also piloting a ship is a bit of a pain but yourself but you can just use smaller ships to make it easier.
Ah Ok. Maybe I can con some friends to download it and suffer with me
My big complaint about the game was that it's so multiplayer focused while making it so very hard to coordinate a play-session with friends.
One friend running late? Well, you'll either need to get a ship that's too big for the group until the friend joins (and hope they actually do), or you'll have to end and restart the session to size up the ship.
Someone needs to go suddenly? Same problem but possibly worse (since you've probably got a ship full of stuff and could run into other players as you go to turn in, which could suddenly make sign-off a drag)
