Two words - emergent gameplay. Some people look for competition with other people for all their lives. This game clearly defines it as not mandatory. Some people wish it did.
And I can't help you if you're going to ignore something said by someone who's been on this forum a lot longer than most and has seen what's been discussed from the first day of the kickstarter.
Because Frontier are not following Star Citizen's business model.
And it's not competitive, regardless of what sarcastic comment you think of next. Maybe CQC will be competitive, but it's designed to be. The main game is designed to not be competitive. Disagree with me? Fine, take it up with Michael Brookes.

We must face it, for real.........this is a REAL DEAL "Catch-22"......for you true SciFi Nerds out there, think of the Kobayashi Maru........there is no "win" on this one. FD have painted themselves in to a corner.......

I think ED will go down in the history books as a beautiful technical achievement let down by poor game design decisions.....and the Solo/Open thing will be a lesson to games studios around the world for YEARS to come............utterly boneheaded move..... The Single Player Multiplayer game.......what were they thinking???? I mean, can you imagine??>#

"""""NEW FROM EA....Battlefield 5 now with Solo/Open........Tired of getting shot by other people but you really like capping flags? No problem, now, while others are getting shot to hell in open mode, you can go invisible, and capture the flags without worry and no one can stop you..............""""" WHHHAAAT?..........
Yeah, CQC is like small island in ED where you can be competitive. It's built around this idea. It also good decision business wise - people sometimes want quickie hull smashing against other players, no strings attached.
However ED itself will stay this slow burn, strategic scope with heavy leaning towards PvE.

Thanks for proving my point buddy, much appreciated....glad you agree with me. It IS a competitive game, both you and FD think so....cheers.......
I suggest you contact CIG, as they plan to make similar design into Star Citizen - or so I heard (PvP slider is basically similar construct). Stop them before it's too late and your prediction turn out wrong!

Small mode CQC is competitive - in big ED which is not competitive.
whats wrong with you?
"And it's not competitive" = "It IS a competitive game, both you and FD think so" .... k thank you for proving how little you know.
The tone of people wanting solo forced into open is not normally very polite. It might be a factor in why solo players prefer it that way.
ED is quite a 'mature' game. A lot of OP's comments are echoed on this board by players who sound like the problem is this game is not for them.
Repped for being a mature sensible reply

Braben has already told the world that player interaction and PvP would be "rare" in the Elite: Dangerous universe, so don't expect anything to be done to differ from that "vision".
No worries though, when No Man's Sky releases I think a large portion of the player base will jump ship to that and then eventually wind up in Star Citizen when it eventually releases.

You mean it is a game for older people? You think they will put that in the Xbox adverstising? "Elite DANGEROUS: The slow, quiet, mature game, with no competition ......... the sort of thing you can do with a glass of wine while watching the TV or listening to the radio....".......

to be fair if this game was "eve from a cockpit" it would probably be one of the best money making games in history, eve has a lot of content which is also dynamic and emergant because of the human factor, but the point and click nature aren't very exciting

NMS is single player game and has no MMO like structure as ED does. It also has MP similar to Dark Souls.

Presumably that would be up to CCP to develop as EVE is their IP....

i didn't literally mean the eve universe, you know what i mean lol
Similar to Star Citizen, this is assuming that lot of things works as they should. It would end up like X series just with EvE like universe with only humans...it would be interesting, but best money making games? There still would be grind parts, and there would be lot of clicking too.
EvE the online game, I have no problem with. I've not played it myself, but I am sure it is a good game. To survive as long as it has against the likes of World Of Warcraft, it must be doing something right.
EvE players however ... they don't have a good reputation (justified or not) and have tried to invade other space games and influence development. That is something I am against. So to any EvE players here on this forum: If you're here to enjoy Elite Dangerous for what it is and let Frontier develop it how they want to, great ...

Pure combat, EvE? What? Sir, have you any idea how far off from the truth this statement is? EvE has... stop, let not go there...well, a lot, please use games you have experience with for examples and lets not use that particular three letter game, its got too much on ED and anyone who played it finds these kinds of remarks, honestly, ignorant.
PP isn't too far a throw from some of that games available modes of conflict, although here it is NPC problems mostly.
EvE players is just another word for gamer, mates.
