Modes How to make open attractive to solo players: Mission Rebuy

I might be Ziggy.
On the contrary - I'm talking about the only version of Open we have, and the only version of Open Frontier has put on the table.
I spend 99% of my game time in this current and only version, so I have a good grasp of how it is.
How about you?

Yes, I understand.
Also: I like you.
I am merely suggesting that we could have a different version of OPEN game that would/could (maybe) attract a multitude of players.
I am imagining another universe in other words. Where Anacondas have the shape of unicorns and griefers can only shoot flowers.
Idea: police ships should have a secret (NSA/CIA -Intel chip...) device to shut down all shields in a crime scene.
You should get your own board on this forum. I mean it.
I'm all for every upgrade to open, pg and solo. I'll still never play open. Just like many will never play solo or pg.
It's not difficult to understand.

Seems to me it's mostly PG/solo players saying such things, wanting some accommodation.
Open is already the most popular mode.
In other words, just chill out over the modes thing. Modes provide a choice. The existence of every mode drew players to Elite. It aint broke, nothing needs fixing.
That’s funny, it seems to me it’s mostly Open players, wanting compensation for the extra risks they’re taking by playing in Open. Which, we’re repeatedly assured, is extremely exaggerated.

I can show you some really badly thought-out drivel about making BGS open-only, seemingly oblivious to the basic mechanics of the game.
I can also show you someone advising newbies in the New Players sub never to play in Open.
Or I could show you hateful vitriol directed at the Lead Designer for even daring to suggest a niche element of the game might offer more direct competition for those involved by making the merits and cargoes disappear in Private and Solo modes.
To me they are all the same - zealots who are convinced by misinformation and their own skewed perceptions, regardless of what side they are trying to argue from.
And that is the simple truth of things
And yet open only people keep screaming for features to be made open only, to force the last few folks in to open.
Who wants "accommodation" again?
because Solo / PG players just want to be left alone to play their way.

Play their own way as long as they can remove themselves from the multiplayer part of the game. And still affect the part of the game made for competition between players.
Yeah, thats called cheating any where else.
Thankfully Fdev are going to fix that.
Speaking of which, I seen you were looking for Feedback on your wall of information.
It starts out like this " A quick look at the history of; and tech used to bring you this game (explains why some things are not possible). "
But you left out the part where they say it is possible.
I suggest you change that first sentence you have there. Because at the bottom you are worried about bias. When thats clearly biased.
Solo and PG players are still part of the multiplayer game, via the game mechanics that were advertised (BGS / CGs / PP).
So no one has removed themselves from multiplayer as there is no option to do that.
There is more to "multiplayer" than just "pew pew" - shame you don't understand that.
Also, "cheating" - using the game modes system the way the developers designed it and told us how to use it?
Wow, talking such rubbish really shows that you have nothing intelligent to add and are just here trolling.

MUH RUBBISH!
I dont know how long you can keep this charade up. Fun to watch though.
I don't have a "charade" to keep up unlike you, how the game works supports my views and is proof your wrong.
But then again, I'm not calling legitimate, dev supported game play "cheating", so we all know who has lost the plot.
I play solo, mainly because I never know when I'm going to get dragged into real life stuff via my two young adults or my wife.
I have been taken out by a couple of player cmdr's, however I don't see it as grief, I see it as part of the game. You know on one occasion I took the player out.

I know the feeling, I tend to only play Elite now when my family is out.
Warframe has the same mode system, but when you're in Solo you can actually pause the game, shame we cannot do the same thing in Elite.

I think you are referring to the suggestion FDev made?
That some people show support is a good thing.
How does one scream on a forum?
"Making open more attractive to solo/pg players" IS accommodation, by definition.
You know, the title of the thread?
