ELITE DANGEROUS a tale of two modes Open and Solo , AND a third Private ?

What's happening in ED every second of every day
Players move to PvE from Open to stop been murdered
PvPer's get bored in Open move to PvE or Solo mode

What's not happening in ED & Frontiers thinking
Ships taking damage that loose connection, blow up
Destroy an unarmed ship you pay & your next re-buys are tripled
Abolish Private Groups only Open & Solo allowed.

Why not abolish Open and Solo? Let everyone play in Private. Private groups could exist and provide their own set of membership rules. If you engage in PvP in THIS private group then you'll get banned by the group owner. Over in THAT private group you'll get banned for combat logging, etc. If you don't want to play with others? Create your own private group and don't invite other players.

Mode switching problem fixed for the most part.

Would it blow people's minds if I said Open is just a big Private Group, which has no authorisation required to join?! :p

Open is also a private group in a different matter: It´s just an instance of 32 players. Maybe some more or less, but it´s not an Open as it is described by some of the open-only-lovers.

It's odd I've never thought about open being just an instance rather than an open world, tend to forget it's limited by the P2P nature of this game.

I guess I need to look at it as you're open to anything (and you might instance with a ahole or two, or you might instance with up to 32 really nice people) rather than open as in wide open space.

Time of day and day of the week make a big difference as well.

I was thinking just the other day how "crowded" a CG feels when playing in open, and that's just with a couple dozen ships in an instance. Imagine if all 7,000+ participants of a CG were in the same instance!

4 modes, Open PVP, Open PVE, PG's and Solo. Then everyone will be happy they can play where they want and how they want as the game was advertised. Restricting everyone to open as some want or making it a solo game as I saw mentioned only suits certain people. FD cannot appease everyone as we clearly see, but they try to do what they can.

Yep I'd be all for that. Only change I'd add to that is we could have one commander per mode, but that's the mode the commander would belong to.

I think you fall short. All of you.

Picture this. All, all at once, same time reverence, at the same place.

No instances, no splitting. No time zones, no nonsenses.

How you cope?

Think freedom, think Konflikt.*


Is that a CG?

How will my 128Kb/s connection cope? :D

More importantly, how will everyone else cope with my 128Kb/s connection? ;)

I disagree with that mainly because oh I'm teaching a friend, or helping a newer Commander with training and maybe some cargo transfer to get them some credits to outfit their first ship- we do a little PG by ourselves, I'm at a location with really bad internet or I am just not in the mood to play with others I do solo, I want to fly with others (either open). People should be restricted with having to build a new Commander for each mode for when they want to play there.
