Personally I say yes but I don't want to discuss in this thread - there are many threads already about this topic.

But what I would like to see is how many want it and how many not. So let's not discuss here about it - just vote.

We already have Open which allows for PvE, actually it's MOSTLY PvE with the occasional bit of PvP in my experience. Outside of CGs, I might see 1 other live human player a night, if that many, while inside the bubble.

People were already posting about the perceived benefits and drawbacks of both the different modes and unlimited mode changing back in the first days of the Kickstart, nearly three years ago. About every possible argument for and against the modes and mode changing has already been made. I believe it's why the regulars here joke so much, kinda like a requirement to keep sane after so many repetitions.

Personally, if we were discussing a new game, one that hadn't yet made any promises about how it would play, either way would be viable; they have different consequences, different target player bases even, but both allow a good game to be made (though I still will never play anything that might subject me to non-consensual PvP). But ED has been promising and implementing the different modes and mode changing for years now; thus, IMHO, changing it now would be the equivalent of a NGE-scale blunder, driving away much of its current player base without a guarantee that it would attract a new one.

There are so many dark reasons for the humor! Stick around...it gets real fun when a new idea comes along!

Anyway you look at it when this game launches full retail, you will have aspects of people effecting the galaxy largely unchallenged PVP wise. The only solution I see is to adapt and use solo or privet groups to your powers advantage as PC players will be doing this defacto: Not because it's fair or right, but because there is no interaction between PC players and Xboxers. It's not a player problem, but a problem with the way the game is set up.

So close! Now if we can just get you to see that there is no problem, and acceptance that this idea is <gasp> a feature. Hint: <Morgan Freeman over voice> acceptance is the path to freedom...and if followed to its logical conclusion...you will find a game designed to more dark, dirty, and hated than that which shall not be named.

What's your problem with Mobius in Private Group or just the added danger in Open?

Some peeps just want the player interaction without the PvP part. As for mobius, while it is a private group focused upon PvE it's not as advertised. The only people who know about it are forum goers and maybe people who frequent reddit. I suspect if an Open play option with PvE only we're allowed a lot more of the Solo only crowd would probably give it a try. That's just my 2 cents anyways.

I want Open to become PVE only, as soon as the PVP players have CQC to play in. This fixes everything!

Come on guys...we can make this happen! Who's with me?

My advise as usual on this is just have 1. OPEN and 2. SOLO Simulator (no Galaxy influence to OPEN). Make the top 5 Player Bounties a Live update on their last known position but for players Online AND make them Assassination Targets in Missions.

Same here, voted no, they already have modes for people to play in if they don't want to take the risk of playing with other commanders.

I just want to see all these problems get fixed! Open for PVE! CQC for PVP! Freedom for everyone! No one has to be subjugated to the whims of others!

Well you cannot ignore commanders who have discovered first systems. You will also see their faction name in the right when you dock. YOu wont be able to avoid it completely.

"Wait, you are calling two competitions in a year"

Two? i thought there was only one. You can argue whether they are "features" or not, i don't mind. I just said I personally would like to see more of that. I dont recall setting a bar for anything, but if you wish :)

No, you said;

"Merely suggesting they reward players who take extra risks. would not be the first time FD agreed with this. They had a competition that could only be done in Open Play."

The "extra risks" is rubbish, move 100Ly from the core systems and you're all on your own - same as Solo.
"FD agreed" with nothing you've said, your making a false claim there.

I've actually tried 3 times to get you to read what FD have said regarding the modes, and what FD actually want.
But you'd sooner just make these false claims about things FD didn't actually say or do.
