Is the fleet only available by playing online

When I tried to access my fleet in the Captain's quarters I was prompted to sign into xboxlive (I have no internet access on my Xbox so this isn't possible for me). When I'm taking over hostile ships I sometimes have the option to send the ship to my fleet.

Is there any way I can use the fleet feature without being on live, or is that whole part of the game unavailable to me making "send to fleet" a waste of time?

Best Answer

It is indeed only available if you're playing online. This is for 1 main reason.

  1. You send your fleet on missions that take a set amount of time (with variations depending on the speed of the boat). The game clocks this time using the online server. For example, some missions take 24 hours to complete. But you don't need to play the game for 24 hours, just wait until 24 hours pass on the server clock.

Sadly, they designed the game so you can't get 100% completion without being online. Here are things you'll miss.

  1. 3 treasure maps, at least 1 of which contains a plan you need to fully upgrade your ship.
  2. Appearance items for your ship (figurehead, etc).
  3. Additional non-functioning items (outfit for Edward, etc)

UPDATE

I think there is also a trophy (at least on PS4) or an Abstergo challenge to unlock all of the fleet locations.
