Is it worth pirating to play it single player today and get an idea of its current state? Or is the game online only?
Spacebourne 2 immediately comes to mind. It's only one dude doing everything, so it's both amazing and lacking at the same time.
Also Evochron Legacy, a real passion project of a space sim.
I don't think it's possible to play the current game single player (offline) meaningfully. But there are very regular free fly events, I think you barely just missed one. I'm not sure I'd really describe it as worth it regardless for most people right now, it's still very alpha and has a very steep learning curve to actually work out how to progress on your own. But it is a beautiful thing to explore still.

Sunk cost fallacy
WARNING
This ROBERTS SPACE INDUSTRIES. You game locked for virus and crime.
Please send further $3.5 MILLION USD in iTunes GIFT CARDS to further unlock services and ships in the future maybe.
It seems a lot of people haven't played it. It's quite playable and has less bugs than the average new AAA game.
It's currently got 4 planets, each with 3 or more moons, and many stations that can be visited. 6+ game loops and around 30 flyable ships.
Yeah people spend way too much real money on it, but 90% of the fly read ships are purchasable in the game. At least give the damn game a shot before you shit on it. The community is super nice and willing to help new comers.
Edit: Not sure why everyone is so upset. This is my experience and every argument I've seen against sc is about bugs or spending real money on ships. Let people enjoy the games they want without getting so mad cause someone likes a game you don't.
Less bugs than the average new AAA game is just not true lol. I have a lot of fun with SC but it's a complete buggy mess.
For me this is true, I've been playing since 3.18 and haven't had many bugs. Cyberpunk and Halo had more bugs.

Everyone gets too upset about it. Personally I payed $45 for it, and I feel like I got more than $45 worth of game out of it even if I feel like it's a total mess. I don't think it's a $500m, 15 year game, I guess, but to me it was a $45 game so it doesn't bother me.

and it only took almost 15 years and a three quarters of a billion dollars to get... most ships flyable, and a couple planets.
and you say that as if its praise worthy.
I mean what game has been around with active development for 15 years? Most games development stop at 5sh. I paid $45 8 months ago with no reason to spend more.
While 15 years is stupid, at least it's a fun game. So I'll continue to enjoy it while not spending anymore money on it.
