Why not force everyone to play in the same system, to stop people from avoiding other people? Since launch, I probably encountered like 3 actual alive players, and that was only during landing on station. I am in sector with very low player traffic I guess. Does that mean I cheat?

I rarely seem to fly out without seeing one or more human CMDRs about nowadays, even in a few of the more obscure areas however I suspect they may well be en route to / from Sol Lave like me.

They can go under the radar by joining a group or excluding you or playing solo. ED isn't an MMO is it. It's a single player game with a multiplayer element. I think the problem here is you've made a category error. But anyway it's a work in progress and what you've got now is just the basic game engine. I expect in future it will have the kind of elements you want with respect to turning systems or some other way of affecting the narrative.

I think you're right - but this issue is pretty fundamental to the game design. It might for example explain the failure of the Crimson State thingy...the game needs more transparency.

Or maybe it's a fault with you not reading up on how the game works and just assuming mmo in this sense means exactly the same as mmo for other different types of games?

Lots of people play in open, even traders because the like the danger /risk. Just find a busy system to base your game around.

This game has no problem. You have one.
Big difference.

The OP is completely right. Also : Elite needs more gore and double barrels shotguns. There hasn't been a *good* FPS without double barreled shotguns and frankly I don't understand why E : D doesn't have them! It's outrageous! Are the frontier Devs completely out of their mind? I will let you all know that I will never ever play E : D again unless double barreled shotguns are implemented in this Space FPS! You have all been warned ...

on another note : merry christmas everyone :)

People who say that, say more about themselves, than people like me who do play in open and carny cargo, and sometimes do so without shields.

If you want a fight, invite people to come and kill you.
Make a thread where you and your mates can be found (and at which times).

I did this in Beta and made a lot of friends at that time :D

As I understand it they're trying to turn one of the biggest systems in game (in terms of population). This was a poor strategy, no? Perhaps it would be more reasonable to try to turn a smaller, less populated system first. I had a go with Crimson State in Lugh by the way but the whole thing is too opaque for me at the moment. It's not clear to me who's on what side and which mission will increase/decrease faction standing with which faction. It needs work.

they did this because they want to save money on server costs. One universe is easier to manage than 2 or 3..

If the other 50% wouldn't have bought it because there is no mmo mode, the chances for future developments (expansions) would be drastically reduced.

All the thousands of people playing in Solo mode don't affect you at all just like the other thousand who aren't in your instance don't affect you either!. Understand the way the game works.

I like a lot this game.....but it has a big problem.... solo mode, group mode and open play can't be the same universe, they must be different universes.
It's really absurd, play the same universe with people you can't see, without any risk.... i can play solo make alot money and go to open play to fight or not without any risk...
What happend with pirates roll??? nobody go to play traveling full of cargo with the risk to be killed for players pirates at open play....

Please, make solo play like a single player at another server, cant be the 3 modes at same universe.

If froniter don't do that, this game go'll to be played only for carebears hidden at solo play, and never will grow up like a real mmo with a real inmersion.

Sorry for my english, i hope frontier do that...

It makes no difference, as a player could go off to some remote corner and make loads of money even in open play without meeting anyone.

Slaps Dweezil upside the head.

Dude.

4x Frag Cannons on a Viper = QUAD barreled shotgun!





@Op: I can remember when trolls were at least creative. It's the people like you that make people veer away from playing it in open mode, people for whom "piracy" = "I'm going to hang around here and pop sidewinder noobs trollololol"
