Lets us play Freelancer offline

Why is that mode only available online? There is no need for that. Randomization works offline as well. Please remove that at some point

There is a mod called Peacock, supposedly it lets you host your own 'server' to bypass the whole online thing.

Online uses a separate save and scoring system than offline for instance, because apparently to IO Interactive, 'high scores' are important to them.
