FD & PS4 players, you should be aware that attempts are being made to sabotage launch.

They seem desperate to play EVE.
With respect I've never understood why they don't just play EVE.
Probably not good enough to survive in a properly done PvP environment.
So they come to Elite to delude their own egos.
I've told people to get better at Elite, but only those who insist on flying in Open. A certain degree of skill is needed there.
However, I've never had anything against the PvE modes. I advocate them actually. They're a valid choice.
To be honest this doesn't change my plans at the start. I was planning on jumping straight out of the system the moment I leave the mail slot anyway. I don't want people to see my AWESOME(rubbish) flying!
I seriously expected that kind of attitude to be on EVE not Elite. I guess you're right, they get seal clubbed on EVE(which has a terribly toxic community IMO) so they come to Elite to vent their ego.
@JJ Waan, thus giving FDev more money.

Atention!
All Commanders to their Stations!
Commencing Operation Asian Dawn! [haha]
What a bunch of sad [oops] . actually forming to ruin a particular platforms launch.................do I really want to play a game that allows this Sh@??@
anyone involved in this stuff should be banned from open play. simple. I cannot believe this FDEV would just sit back and ignore this stuff, as a first time customer this era, this is not a good advertisement for their game

On the quiet, I think they like it. It spices things up for some. And SDC=publicity.
Every thriller needs a bogeyman. In this case it's more Fungus the Bogeyman, but hey.

FDev have no control over who kills who and where and when. You'll have to get out of the starter system as fast as you can like I'm planning to.

I do sometimes get the impression that some of the devs secretly enjoy the anarchy that these groups spread.
I just hope that they'll unite the players against griefers and they're the ones fleeing. If that happens:
Not quite.
Some of them will play on PS4, trying to make life hard for new CMDRs in the starter system. Others will try to influence the BGS (BackGroundStory), which is shared between all platforms, from the PC version.
The hilarious (well, unless you're on the dirty end of stick) part of this is that exactly the same people complain about people being able to influence the BGS in solo and e.g. flip over their adopted home system or drive their adopted minor faction out of their home system. Hypocrites isn't quite strong enough - and if what the OP has cited from reddit is true, I don't think FD will react kindly to blackmail or terrorism. They were very lenient in their treatment of the Engineer exploit, but some people don't seem to take a hint unless it's dropped on their heads form a great height.
For those players on the PS4 who might find themselves at the receiving end:
1) Get out of the starter system. Take the first lucrative mission to somewhere else you can reach - I started with a new CMDR yesterday, and had a few ~100 kCr. transport missions right from the start. Do a few of those missions, get a better FSD, do a few more and then look for a nice quiet system you can call your home for the next week or so. Get five jumps away from the starter system or any other focus point, and you'll be lucky to see a single CMDR in a week.
2) If you get killed by another CMDR and never want to see them again, block them. I just hope this works also on PS4... PC description: on the upper left side of your HUD is the comms panel. If you cycle through the tabs, you'll find the "history" tab. That contains all the CMDRs you ever had an interaction with, whether you were aware of it or not. Especially, it contains the CMDRs that killed you. Select them, then select "block". Done.
3) As a last resort, switch to solo. Since there are no private groups dedicated to PvE (similar to Mobius, for example) on the PS4 yet, you'll either have to start your own or simply switch to solo. Won't help you from being influenced by the BGS, and won't keep you from hassles with NPCs, but will 100% keep you from being killed by other CMDRs.
Hasn't FDev confirmed there won't be a history tab for PS4? I thought I'd heard/read that somewhere?
Good info, thanks.
Quick question on BGS influence... what can (in real terms) be done to it that would create a game breaking effect for new players on another platform?

I'm sure FD has a plan.
Especially after upsetting (rightfully) so many cheaters after Engineer Day.

Effects like shutting down the marketplace and shipyards, so no commodities can be bought or sold and no ship upgrades.
