If that was your intention why did you put an angry face on your post and rant? Why did you reject out of hand solutions that might be offered? Sorry if I misjudged but it looked to me like a standard rant and threaten rage quit post, not a constructive "these are problems lets talk solutions" post.
Why NOT to play ED anymore or even at all

Regarding the pirate who shot down the OP, you weren't not being griefed, you were being hunted. Part of the game I'm afraid. BUT player interdiction does need fixing.
Also, leaving for a while might not be a bad thing. My main suspicion is that so much is currently missing because FD had set a 2014 deadline (30 years after the original) and really wanted to stick to it and that's why we don't have teaming functionality yet.
I personally don't want to see story arcs along the lines of traditional MMOs coming in, but leave the story arc at the galaxy level but with players able to efect the power balance at the system level, which in turn effects what missions are offered and even the spawning of combat zones, in which players can further effect the balance of power.
With regards to the missions, more diversity is needed beyand take X to Y, or please bring us Z etc, but there are only a limited number of mission types you can do in a spacecraft that's limited to space, but there's more that can be done than is on offer.
Better trading tools are also required, the inability to call up prices from a station you were just at is infuriating.
I could go on, but I won't. What I will say is, I'm not bothered by the incomplete nature of the game at the moment as A - I don't get to play much atm, and B - I think the framework that's there now is superb and bodes very well for the future.
And I will finish off by saying, yet again, a roadmap of upcoming features would be very useful.

I have no issues with the opinions of the original poster. However, I still don't see how you can say the game is empty and vast. Yet on the other hand complain the star ports are so busy that there is a 15 min or you being "ganked" over an over again. The rubber banding is net issue normally caused by your connection to their server so this should also not be a negative towards the game. (If this was a widespread issue then I would agreed, but I an not seeing many complaints)
The only issue I have with this game is, (except it being addictive once again grrrr) that when you are jumping to another planet, sun, station, or asteroid area is that when you are told to slow down, and you do, the ship just keeps on speeding up as in its stuck in a gravity well. Now if the game is meant to be like that then that's fine.
As for everything else, the game has only been going for less than a week and they have already done 3 updates to fix issues, does anybody really think that they will not do major updates as the game evolves into something more than great.
Remember they have already stated that there will be a stand alone game coming out within next 12 month, which will be great.
All I will say is play the game how you want ot play it, but expect others to play the game exactly how they want to play it. solo or pvp your choice, but there is always a bigger fish in the pond and they will turn the tables on griefers.
Please to not Troll me just because my opinion doesn't match yours
I'm really sorry to read your tale of woe, and I really hope you relent and give the game another go.
It does sound like the interdictor you suffered was a complete douchebag, and it's a horrid story. But I 'd (hope) expect such douches to be in the minority, and my experience (even in open play, and starting from early beta) has not involved any griefing to date.
To err on the safe side, consider joining 'Mobius' a PvE group - not so many on-line players - albeit plenty of NPC interdiction (attempts) - but it might help level the field for a while? This will also help with the queues outside stations, and has been said elsewhere, if all else fails, save and close the game, re-enter in solo and 'Robert's your mother's brother'. I know this breaks immersion, but, meh, it is only a game!!!
About the long SCs - where I am in space (nope I'm not telling) I have very very few over 1,000 Ls - so perhaps head on out 'there' and find a new patch? Additionally, now I've turned off the orbit lines, I'm having a ball zooming past planets on my way to a station - in fact I'm smiling so much I'm starting to look like the Joker...
I think you make some fair points too about the MP aspects - hopefully they'll improve, but they may not.
Hope to see you in space matey, cheers,

What is the point of this post, rant, troll bait, general throwing of the toys out of the pram?
My god man get a grip!
Go outside and scream at a tree or a flower, it would be more rewarding, because starting a thread like this(of which there is many) is literally asking for the wrath of the community.
Sick of reading these threads, as I'm sure 90% of the other players are as well.
As others have said, play solo, it will eliminate half the problems you've had.
There is of course problems with the game, that will be fixed. This game can only get better. Patience.
The other issues you describe are your interpretation what you expected the game to be.
I mean in a game that is pretty much about space travel, you're complaining about space travel. ?
Remember you bought the game, it was not rammed down your throat.
