So you make a thread about a mistake (going afk at a res) that you made and we're supposed to feel sorry or this is somehow open's fault?
the fact that you felt comfortable enough to do something like that should tell FD that AI needs to be even harder and the players who killed you, while maybe killing you for fun, were at least filling the gap that shouldn't have existed in the npc response to a bounty hunter killing so many of their brethren.
In the end you learned a lesson you should have learned when starting with bounty hunting at res's. You always turn in when you have enough bounties you'd be upset if you lost them. It has nothing to do with open. Unfortunately, res spawning for all but authority ships is mostly nonsense RNG so the easier modes of play (solo,private) tend to not force the issue like it can be forced in open.
as long as you have insurance, you dust yourself off, get back in your ship and adapt. Actually being threatened with being killed for any reason is why open can be fun and better than the other modes to play the game. The npc spawning and AI still needs much more work to offer the same threat.
