All this is my applying common sense and what I know of other development cycles, it is 100% speculation and making assumptions on my end but IMO it is sensible;
 
 
Currently the game is in Pre-Alpha, it was originally expected the game would go into Alpha1 in September which puts development roughly 6 months behind the original schedule.
 
If you have any understanding of game development you will know that beta is at least 10-12 months away at this time.
NQ has stated that the next round of backing packs (Supporter Packs) will give access to Alpha2 stage, we are not at Alpha1 yet
 
Since it is 8 weeks to 2018 it would be optimistic to expect Alpha1 to start this year let alone Alpha2 which I'd guess is at least 6-8 months out. There is nothing wrong with that as (again) this is normal and to be expected as it aligns with the 6 month delay they ran into this year.
 
While NQ may decide to open up the funding pages and offer packs to gain access at Alpha2 in the next 8 weeks, it would IMO make more sense for that to happen shortly after Alpha1 starts so they have a good idea of when they will be able to start Alpha2 as normally progress will become more predictable once you wrap up pre-Alpha.
 
A full game loop, playable game in beta should be available by this time next year. I see no reason to expect DU to turn into a CIG production as far as ever expanding features and development which will basically push out actual release indefinitely. While I do not see NQ release the game in 2018 I can see it happen around Q2 2019.. which basically means that they can stick to the current 6 month delay. As a result I would expect the initial idea of having Alpha2 access packs out by Q4 2017 to be available around the end of Q1 2018 instead.
 
Again, speculation and assumptions, but IMO very reasonable ones. I am not part of the NQ team, have no actual insight in to where they are or what they plan so yes, all mine..
 

That's not how it works. If reputation could be taken away, that's what this would deserve, for trying to cheat the system

Yeah, I'm not going to support this...

Keep in mind that this game is currently in Pre-Alpha, and thus Alpha is not quite here yet, much less Beta. When both of them come around, they will both be announced by NQ, so you will be free to keep an eye on the forums and wait until those announcements are made.

Cause actually posting useful stuff and writing useful comments which other can like is too much effort?

By having their post liked.

Ah, like the rep points... How does one acquire rep points?

Well, you already got one in me and we're still in pre-alpha. Give it enough time, they'll come.
 
Maybe consider looking through the organizations and joining up with some like-minded folks that seem to fit your ideals. If you're looking for commadere , you'll definitely find it in an org.

NQ is fair in not wanting support the vision that you seek, however, unfortunately it would also be impossible for a player to create a "mod" that would allow for single player.  The server tech behind DU is one of the things NQ has put the most effort in order to make DU unique.  It's unlikely that they'd just hand that over to anyone who wanted to use their own server for single player.  
 
Furthermore, the payment model doesn't really support single player, and I doubt single player would get a special payment option.  Have you ever heard of a single player game costing $15 a month?
 
On a brighter note, I have a feeling playing alone inside of DU will be much more viable than people seem to make it out to be.  Yes, you won't be creating cities or anything like that... but there's a spot for you inside of DU, and I hope you will still give it a try

Sounds to me like he just wants information as to why it's not possible to have a single player version.  I think that information would be nice for the public to have, as this question arises quite often. 
 
Right now we are just saying "because", which isn't always enough for everyone.
