You can't have player agency and emergent content with out breaking a few eggs. Cannon could easily outfit combat ships and fight SDC, they are not amazing pvpers or anything. The whole hard points stowed philosophy doesn't get you far in the Elite universe.

THIS should be organised!
 
Totally understand, and I get why solo exists. But to totally get up in arms against FD decision on this is just so childish in my opinion (heaven forbid if I am entitled to one). Don't think you had time to change ship, well here's what I did, it's really novel, planned ahead and jumped in my cobra, why oh just because its a bit safer in open due to its tremendous speed we all had a weeks notice.
 
There is infact some punishment:
Hostile patrol ships start interdicting you,
bounty hunters spawn on your heels
and you come to the point where stations
no longer let you dock, due to being hostile.

If FD would balance this on the fact that people fly engineered corvettes,
then count me out.

I don't want to steer this thread away from topic, but I think it's good to respond.

All of that sounds fine and dandy - add on some instant financial penalty and a suspension of your insurance for a week then I'd think it was approaching fair. Especially for the defenceless explorers that get taken out for lulz.

I'm not going to argue against your (and others) right to exist, I agree: it makes it more 'alive' and adds spice - but there's a definite sense of a lack of justice for the victims, even when one of you gets taken out.

But anyway - if a way can be found to keep you guys entertained whilst also appeasing the people who get set back hours of game time when you squash 'em, that'd be my ideal solution.
 
As an Xbox player in Solo, I have to fork out £5.99 to play in open. nice :(

Go to Cdkeys. You can get an annual gold subscription for £32. Considering you get 4 free games a month I don't know why anyone wouldn't have one even if they don't play anything that requires it.

Appreciate it, and there are some very good takes on that problematic,
namely the introduction of piracy ratings. Suggestions are there, implementation is not. ;)

Uhm.. ok.. you obviously dont have a clue what are your muttering about. i will leave it at that.. somewhere out there on the interwebs.. theres a few we b communities who do nothing but brag about who they killed, what private out of game bounty was the highest.. these Elitist pvp'rs live on those sites.. they dont hang around hubs and stations.. they actively hunt players for sport.. and each kill and each tear is honey to them. the more we discuss pvp'r trolls in here the more erect their shlongs become.. there ultimate goal is to rekt the game for others to become an idol for future pvp'rs to follow " i rekt the game and fdev couldnt do nothing about it!" would be the chant i suspect anyway as i said it makes no difference database wise if the event unfolds in open private or solo mode. You cannot play this game offline for that reason. Everything happens on the AWS. look it up.

Christ. The combination of fear and hate for them in this description makes them sound like the terminator.

Scoff a small ship as not good enough
the scoff at someone who says it is fine for them

Nice to know this thread is just like the rest of the forum.

No you really misread what I meant. I'm not scoffing at your small ship at all, like I said I still own a Sidey and last time I took it out I went bounty hunting in a haz res in it. I've even bought paints for it. Also the Courier is probably my favourite ship in the entire game to just fly. It's not about a ship being 'good enough' though it's about using them for diferent things. I don't care how 'good' a Sidey is, I can't ship 100 tons of cargo in one.

But I don't spend all of my game time in any one ship and this event is fast-paced. The point is there has simply been no time for people to do 700 LY round trips to change ships, so most people were flying what they had and in many cases that would have been long range, unarmed ships.

Now really, this isn't the thread for it. If you want to discuss it further though, feel free to drop me a pm.

Should make it impossible for them to rearm and repair at stations that arent pirate or lawless, that would keep them busy synthing ammo and hiding when they got to less than 50% hull or having to long haul somewhere remote to get fixed up and re-arm and stop them fragging so many n00bs.
