As long as you cant effect the locked open mode content from solo. By all means. It wouldnt effect me either.
We all play a game where PvP is possible in both multi-player game modes, every player both affects and experiences the single shared galaxy state and all players can choose on a session-by-session basis how many players they want to play among. We don't get to pick and choose which parts of that design exist.
A locked Open mode could use The New Bubble (region of space permit locked to players in that mode only) proposal as its basis - without changing the rest of the game.
