Still is ppl choice to interract with other player or no .....
That incident proves two things.
No one is really safe. (He broke the biggest unspoken law of Explorers. Its funny, but man it sucks if it happens to you. This sort of thing was bound to happen.)
How the community reacts to this sort of thing. Players are already gunning and hunting for his head. They want that Griefer's head.

You already said that. What reward do you propose that would compensate a player for 6 weeks of lost exploration data?
My point is that any "risk" in Open is diverse. It doesn't apply to all players, activities or systems equally so you apply a reward equally just because it's "Open". Open doesn't apply a greater risk, it only allows the possibility of a greater risk.
I've had plenty of traders thank me though for the chase. Some even got away. They said, to paraphrase, "That was the single most fun thing that happened to me all day!" in reference to the efforts they went through to dodge my interdictions. Some of them dodged five or six in a row until they came up with a clever way to escape while others, who were complimentary, gladly pulled over finally and gave me some of what they were hauling.

Whether such an occurrence is funny (or not) rather depends on one's point of view.
Good for them. Are you saying that everyone enjoys the same things? Why don't you trade so that you can be chased if it's such good fun? All you pirates can take turns being pirates and victims, problem solved.

From your post, for you to have "fun", there must be "excitement". For me, excitement is not a requirement to enjoy a game. Can aspects of a game be fun and exciting? For me, definitely yes. For me, humans just by being there, do not add fun or excitement to a game. In my opinion, other humans are not needed in E
at all. I enjoy the game without them. And frankly, the times I played in open, I didn't enjoy the game with them.Well, think about it. This wasn't some lone explorer out in the game, this was one of the BuckyBall Contestants who agreed to fly in Open Play. I think the folks that started the event, expected for something like this to happen and add to the thrill.
Edit: There were several contestants that fell victim to this duder.
Overall it was a way for a player to basically grief those contestants; He dedicated several days/weeks of playing to fly to Sagittarius A with guns. Talk about dedication to griefing. All in all it was messed up, but it does present an interesting question or two.

Indeed, not all players seem to require emotional stimulation when playing the game.
the most brilliant retort to the pirates I have heard yet, cheers sir.

You have a good point, though i like many others knew this was inevitable and acceptable in such a dangerous galaxy. So to avoid such cruelty, i went Anaconda with weapons and shields a month ago, never to Expore naked again.
What that event has done and i predict, the way we, many will explore in the future now is with shields, weapons and may be in groups, those that want to see the centre that is. What is fascinating , is watching what will evolve from this incident.

I don't trade because I find it boring. It isn't challenging enough for me and I admit, after being a professional pirate for so long, I know all the tricks I'd need to avoid most of them in open play. However, I have tons of fun avoiding bounty hunters trying to chase me down!
Some of the most exciting evenings were spent dodging a few pilots trying to get me--and fighting them.
Why though? How would that effect your game in any meaningful way?
I thought it was exciting? No, wait, I think I get it: different people enjoy different things. Is that it? Did I get that one?
Why do you avoid Bounty Hunters? Isn't it more exciting to fight them?

Downloading Beta now, so last reply today.
I was only suggesting what I would like, it was just a wish.

Trust me on this, you fight one bounty hunter, you've fought them all.
Likewise running away from pirates.
I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with any of your topics here.
But I will say that the relationship Pirates/Bounties, Traders, and Bounty Hunters have, well, is lacking. Open Play and Solo play.
Pirating in Solo is really surprisingly tough when the person you're trying to pirate isn't communicating with you. Limpets aren't as fun or as easy as trying negotiate the terms of the NPCs surrender :V
Trading wise, I think you can drop like some cargo for the NPC pirates, but they either get confused or start shooting at you.
Bounty hunting other players with bounties is kinda silly when there's a cap on it. Also why don't we have a bounty list for the NPCs as well? Why only in missions?
