I have seen the following been said ...
"No-one plays in open any more"
"People should be forced to play open"
"Frontier should do away with solo & private"
The first post in this thread is why people play in solo and Mobius has over 20k players.
Think about that before you moan.
Moved to Mobius , when those 'attacks' where happening around Lave along time ago, never moved back too OPEN
Reason was simple I'm ingame approaching lave my ship gets blow up , WOW ,what caused that have noidea, maybe its a bug.
I get the insurance re-launch , and again get blow up approaching lave .. OK now I know it's not a bug
BUT , I have noidea why its happening , as there's NO COMMUNICATION , happening , instead I have to leave the game , go to an IRC channel and ask there
Now , if there was an ability too stay in game , and talk with other players around the station where the attacks are happening , I would have gotten all that feedback , maybe then players could form a plan of attack or defense, would have most likely stayed in OPEN..if that was possible, but there's nothing , just the lone pilot in space , without any clue whats happening.
So I moved too Mobius , for its PvE and I don't have too worry about PvP , types at all now.
