Can this be played single player?

Can this be played single player? Or is it primarily multiplayer focused?

It definitely can be played solo.

Is it hard? Will the AI kick my butt or can a noob win with some practice? :)

Right. I guess that's what I was getting at. Just because it can be played single player, does it mean it's good / fun as single player.

I enjoyed the demo and that was single player.

Only you can be the judge of that. But the answer to your question is yes it can be played single player.

The reason it could be considered unfriendly to single players is the moving from console to console to organise everything. It's not that big of a deal IMO.

Also the devs mentioned they may implement function key controls to get to the menus instead of walking to them.

Here's a video of a single player taking over a a 4 shield island (hardest).

Have they actually changed anything in the game regarding this? Because this was highly commented on in the demo feedback. Have they changed anything in the game to take into account player feedback?

Unlikely as the demo was released so far into the development process.

That is true and that is why I am waiting to see what happens to the game over the next few months. The game I played in the demo was fairly good but it was overly frustrating to do what you needed to do. That was one major issue I had with it. They should have tried hard to address that already. A game like this where you need to change control stations constantly needs a very slick UI to enable that seamlessly, and the demo version certainly didnt have it. It was a right pain actually.
