That wouldn't happen. NPCs follow the game rules and attack for a reason, not to grief for giggles.
Oh I just got through mentioning his sort. The part I don't understand? Why on earth would anyone one want to socialize with people like that?

Except the ones that go "HAHAHA" then open up on you with lasers...
Your point doesn't hold, but it was too funny not to rep.
The player base gets divided every time someone make s a group. People who play in Mobius will never be seen in OP so it doesn't matter if they make a PVE mode or not.
From my perspective, fighting a 'skilled' AI pilot would be fun. So if the fun lasts longer, where's the foul?

It's indicative of the problems that actually plague Open Play. There's no consequence for attacking people for no reason, and being on the receiving end adds nothing to the game and subtracts a whole lot. It's just not fun, no matter who you are. FD doesn't have to remove a single griefer - they can just design the game to give more serious consequences for wanton murder.
Some people get their fun from ranks, not gameplay. Not one myself, just saying.
errr no it needs at least one more option, "I don't give a .... if someone shoots at me but I'm not particularly looking to get into a fight" mode
It's on Sandro's radar as indicated by his responses here yesterday. We'll probably have to deal with what we've got for a little while yet though.
Sorry, you are wrong. Of the 1.45 million accounts, only 20,000(ish) are in Mobius. Frontier are taking the stance that players can play as they see fit. All players, regardless of background, play style or douchieness as one guy said. They provide the sandbox, what you do when inside that area is up to you, or in the case of other players, them. You can create a tall elegant sand castle with spires and a moat only to have some weenie come along and kick it down in seconds. Trying to dictate morality will kill this game very quickly.
It's no different than the guy at Sag A* shooting up unarmed explorers, or the A-spec Anaconda interdicting noob players on their first space flight. Frontier are not enforcing morality, that's on us, the player base. The devs are staying neutral to all play styles, as it should be. The disruptive players were kicked out of the private group, as they have been in a few instances in the past.
To get around some of these issues, Frontier can set up more starter systems so not everyone begins in predictable systems. However, that's as may be, we have to live with what we have today.
There will always be those of dubious morals, the bored, the antagonists, the anarchists, the crap stirrers in the game. It's how real life works as well. I've made proposals in the past on how to marginalize these players letting people play in Open with fewer incidents, but just like in real life, you can never have a system that works 100% of the time to protect you.
Always have your rebuy cost covered. That's what it is there for when good turns to bad.

hey we need something to do at work
and we have zac answer now. Geuss its safe to say solong elite exist this kinda discussion will go on and on!
I've done my 40+ hours for this week and have 2 days off to enjoy (I work weird days). I will have my beer and flying my spaceship, and inevitably probably crashing at some point, dammit!
And yea, it will continue but I just wouldn't let the actions of a few ruin anyone's game experience. These incidents have been pretty rare so I'm really surprised by the general reaction from some people.
Starting to think of humans as "panic monkeys" again...on the positive side, when you humans "really" die, at least you can't complain after.
Generally:
I'm not gonna get into a discussion about CL as there's already a big thread about it somewhere and don't wanna derail the thread. It's a choice where you either avoid the in game consequences or you don't. I play the game and learn by my mistakes as I consider it part of the experience so I don't log.
I do understand that this seems like a difficult premise for some to understand though.
I do hope there are greater consequences for griefers and generally being a bad guy (crime & punishment) and if they can get that right I think it'll go a long way to helping make this game all it can be.

I agree, I am very unhappy with Frontier and there lack of concern about the communities desires. I wont waste anymore time on them and hoping they will listen to any of our wishes, they have their vision and the rest of us can go pound sand.. at least that is how it has felt over the past two years.
ED is the first and last MMO with solo/PvE I will ever buy. I avoid MMOs because of these types of online interaction, grind based gameplay and the constantly shifting goal posts in the name of "balance". It doesn't mean I don't play multiplayer games (Arma, DCS, CoH) but I won't be buying Naval Action. I avoid anything with MMO as a "feature" like the plague now.
That was the entire point of the KS: that they could do THEIR vision with NO interuption from anyone or anything else.
