I still fail to understand what the problem is.
Well, other than the atrocious mission generation, that spends 90% of its time generating missions that are of no use to me.

best post here
Said the Ability to switch modes (a MAJOR game design point) was an "exploit".... so don't see any credibility or citations forthcoming
That you think mode switching is an "Exploit" shows who's really making an excuse.
Not even close... creates more problems but you know this already.

Excellent points
CMDR Two Is Online.
"Hey CMDR one, wanna wing up for a bit?"
"Sure, where are you, CMDR two?"
"Open."
"Damn, I'm in solo"
"Nevermind"
Not so fixed.
Repped.
Not a solution, just another interfering, curtain twitching, busy-body, who probably cant get on his local parish council, trying to tell people what to do . Added to my ignore list with all the others.

I'm sorry about upsetting you. Not my intent. We should be all players with different points of view.
I was just pointing out, that as some players have introduced me to the BGS, I started to notice that percentages go up and down all the time.
It seems that no matter whether in open or solo, reputation in a starport is the same. A plus or a minus after trading or missioning. It must be NPCs doing it in solo as well as open.
Sorry again, don't like fighting.
Edit: I should have just asked the question. My ramble was really irrelevant after re-reading everything.

ED community: "why do you care how others make money" on a game with pvp on where respawn is payed with money.
I'm not even gonna argument honestly.
The discussions on this forum are too dumb to even care, like its the first game that most people played and the internet is a new thing.

So you don't uderstand how people use it.
To prevent actions like Smeaton orbital grind 1 minute is enough . You have to flip so many times in order to get passengers it would make this so time consumig and not so profitable that people would just leave it alone .
But hey better break game for everyone
And even that's not always the case - I did a few Smeaton runs myself and never board flipped. I just flew to 4 or 5 stations in the local vicinity.
And yet, here you are...

No worries. Probably just a misinterpretation.
That's because Solo play isn't your own private galaxy - it's just a mode wherein you cannot see or directly interact with other players. When you log into Solo, there are still thousands and thousands of players sharing the same BGS with you. So if you're in Sol watching the BGS shift, you're seeing the effects of play of all of the other players in Sol, whether in Solo, Group, or Open modes.
I'm almost positive that Dav confirmed in a stream once that NPCs don't have any effect on the BGS. That's because until there is a player instance in which to exist, NPCs simply don't exist.
Speaking of Westworld, I just started watching that. Three episodes in and I'm not too impressed so far. Very repetitive and dull.
I really do appreciate the idea of selecting a perma-mode for a new commander - but I would like the choices be down to server level options. Open PVP, Open PVE, and solo. Grouping in wings for communication purposes should function as parties (ex. max 4) or as teams (ex. max 30) within the PVP and PVE servers.
I personally board flip to access multiple missions to increase rewards for a given play session. In the same way, I try to be mindful of meta standards for ship builds and pew pew mechanics to maximize my profits. I also use EDDB for trade, and Roguey to identify locations where ships and modules can be purchased. I might even engineer my mods to get more damage, better shields and stronger armor. I even found unpublished systems to grind rank, and run high credit passenger missions. I don't think using any of these tools prevents others from playing the game.
As it stands, mode switching also allows players to access the different levels of social interaction in relation to the tolerable risk a player is willing to take. A new player may start in solo, dip a toe in PGs or Open as confidence and skills develop.
Is board flipping that offensive? Are you aware I'm doing it? It seems like a very busy body notion to try to mess with it - unless you want to expand mission board offerings?

This is Hotel California Redux, no?
All modes equally valid. Since Kickstarter. OP is fighting windmills.

Yeah, not to go too far off-topic, but.... meh. It was OK, but I wasn't glued to the screen or anything.

You never had an argument to begin with and you are correct the "discussion" you started is to dumb to even care... just another person trying to inflict their game play preferences on others. And your last quip shows just out of touch you are with the ED community...
Mode switching should never be needed for reasonable traffic control.
The station should not allow pads to be tied up for protracted periods of time if others are waiting to use them.
Couple of nice story arcs later on, good end to season one.
I still prefer the film though.

Nah man. lock the missions to the modes they were taken in. If you logout you fail the mission.
This would be hilarious in my opinion. And actually makes sense to me.
Though there was a small forum meltdown a couple of years back when someone else suggested it.
Though I'm not the sort who likes to mission stack (it bores the thrusters off me), so it wouldn't impact me in any way.
