Actually, has ANY dev posted in this thread at all? As a response in any way?

Yup, right here;

Hello Commander Demiga!

This is something that I'm considering.

There won't be any changes in the immediate future (our time is fairly booked up right now), but on face value it certainly seems plausible and maybe reasonable to me. I'll need to chew it over some more, obviously. I *believe* a change like this would be possible though (again, I'd have to verify that with team server).

Comments on this would be welcome.

Oh, but obviously, Commander Demiga, let's try and keep the temperature at a reasonable level :) . Everyone has the right to voice their opinion, as long as they do so politely.

Edit

Just seen who he posted it to !!!! LMFAO

Not quite, though not your fault. For many people, myself included, being attacked by a player is completely and fundamentally different than being attacked by a NPC, even if the end result is the same. It's why, in any game I play, I'm so adamant about a way to completely and utterly avoid PvP being always available, and recently also about PvE players not being at any disadvantage.

I do agree that you didn't do anything fundamentally wrong in pirating another player. But you should be aware that the mere existence of that play style does drive away players that seek open for the possibility of positive interactions with other players; regardless of how polite and amiable you are in plying your trade, it's fundamentally a kind of negative interaction, one that will frustrate, and potentially ruin the day, for a certain kind of player.

Knowing that there is that possibility, can you explain why a person would choose to be placed in that position, as they obviously chose to play in a part of the game where that is likely to occur?
 
<snip>It don't think is issue is the number of players. I play from Australia and even at that time there are plenty of players around (well in the areas I play in) plus once you have a few players on your friends list (don't worry Dave I will add you tonight) you never play alone..

Not sure if that's a threat or a peace offering lol, I will give you the benefit of doubt.

If you add me tonight in game I will be amazed, I will also PM you for the lottery numbers, when I win a few million I will fly to Australia and buy you a beer, hell I will take you out to dinner too.

If the dave1235 you add tonight in game (if there is one) doesn't have a clue what you are talking about it would be because its not me.

I hope you know that forum names are not locked to CMDR names, if not after the Xbox info I shared I feel really bad, I guess if you were not aware you have a new drum to bang ;).

Can any of the network people out there take a guess if I would ever see Fire70 in open, I live in the UK and him Australia, I would guess the chances are low, just curious.

Lol I think I should clarify that.. Has any dev posted a response of any kind to an argument/idea posted in this thread?

...There we go...that came out better

Lol, he has replied to you in the past!

I've more respect for the solo/pve players that play there for those reasons than the ones who complain about being shot in open tbh.

I get that some people want only positive experiences, I've never played a "bad" role in games but in ED I do because outside of CG pirates who play properly are few and far between.

You need the bad guys so the good guys have someone to hunt.

Lack of choice. The game doesn't have a mode designed to allow players to meet strangers without the risk of PvP, thus those that want the positive social aspects that MMOs can bring are forced to open themselves to PvP, whether they enjoy it or not.

Well, until they discover that Mobius exists.

you can nuke every thread by using "solo" and "open" more than twice...

In other games I've had stable connections over that distance, all depends on both your connections really and PING to each other.

In theory, it should be fine. But Wings should override anyway, so if you form a Wing before trying to get to the same system you should see each other ok (with maybe a bit of lag)
 
I meant more of an updated idea as a response to this thread or the ideas within as a whole...that response was back before the thread I started got nuked because people from this thread came over and continued their arguments....Im serious about that btw....like 2 pages in arguments and points get brought up by 2 people that came outta nowhere....so my thread got PWND lol

I haven't seen any. Sandro started the Vox Populi thread to deal with the specifics of Community Goals. Other than that, nothing I have been able to find.

We have been waiting for Sandro to come back to us on the Vox Populi thread but it hasn't happened.

This is the last one from Sandro just past halfway.

Hello Commander Demiga!

Don't worry, no harm, no foul, it was just a helpful reminder! :)

I can't give you my considered opinions just yet because, well, I need a little more time to consider them! :)

But this is clearly an interesting debate, on both sides of the fence, so we will revisit it at a later date.
