Open PVE mode - partial solution to community division?

(,,,)

Your thoughts Commanders?


Not a solution for me.
I play solo because I want to play this game (any game) solo.

The only true solution for me would be off-line single player.
But, of course that is not in the cards.

I'd pay full price again (including the LEP) if FDev would be willing to develop a separate off line solo experience without multiplayer shenanigans holding them back, because I believe this current half breed is strangling the potential of the solo experience.

Just a question of money. If Bill Gates want it, he could buy it ;)

There is no game mode on the start menu that offers guaranteed PvE with a population of more than one.

I see 3 options in my menu ;)
 
I was forced to do it the other day in CG when I was interdicted and attacked by 3 heavily engineered ships.

It would not have happened in Open PVE.

I was not forced to do PvP grinding mats for engineers during the last week.

Happened in the existing Open mode.
 
Isn't Mobius "Open PVE"?

Also, Open is mostly PVE, outside of known hotspots, and even then not that big a deal. You know how empty Open is of PvP when you go look for some.
 
I would have opposed this back in 2016. Not anymore. The concept of Open, after years of unchecked borderline credit exploits and RNGineers enhanced balanceTM, has been reduced to nothing more than a daydream.
 
No thanks.

There are plenty of people who play in Open but don't partake in PvP, that doesn't mean that we despise it, or even want to hide from it. There are already other modes for that, adding another one is just a pointless waste of development time, which considering your recent posts I would have thought you'd consider.
Why not suggest a PvP flag instead.

All Private Groups have a population limit - and no in-game rules to support a PvE play-style. They are also not advertised on the start menu - players need to go looking for them.

The topic is about a mode completely free from direct PvP - Open does not qualify in that respect.

There has been so much of this me too crap from the PvE crowd since the powerplay feedback thread.

Seems you folks might have purchased the wrong game after all.

The discussion won't go away just by avoiding it.

Besides, I'm not "PVE crowd". I personally would totally spend most of my time in Open PVP.

However I honestly think Open PVE would be healthy for the community. Why don't you present some arguments why you think otherwise, instead of just trying to derail and troll the discussion?

I'm all ears. Or eyes, as we're typing our answers. Why do you think Open PVE is a bad idea, Zaphod Hawke?

I'd say I play 80% of my time in Mobius. Been playing since Beta. Never been attacked in Mobius once. However have seen many commanders, and winged up with random ones at CGs.
Played in Open a few times. Every time I've been attacked. Didn't bother me because I can hold my own.

Any direct PVP, you report the player and they are gone from Mobius never to be let on Mobius again.

If the limit was lifted and Mobius was on the start menu, would that be ok with you?
 
Open PvE won't stop the most common type of griefing. Kill Stealing. In fact, it would increase it due to the loss of any way to stop the griefers. You won't be able to attack them or go silent and fly into their line of fire so they're wanted. Those are the only ways of stopping them. Talking does nothing.

For this reason, I'm against Open PvE.

There have been quite a few MMO's that have solved the problem of kill stealing by simply giving everyone who contributed to the kill their reward so...mute point is mute?
