As others have said, there is no need of hiding in Solo. There are good evasion techniques, which nearly always work. (I nearly always fly in open and I've been attacked, but never killed by gankers) Just gear your ship for the trip as you would do in other situations. (Make sure that you're not flying a paper plane, at least triple your original hull points and get some resistances). When you're confident in your combat experience (and a good way to get your rebuys), head to Deciat, Eravate or Shinrarta and find someone to fight, most people are actually happy to join a friendly sparring match.
I think PvP should influence the BGS and give influence to Anarchy factions. Deciat should be an Anarchy System, to mark the danger, especially to newbies.

Im happy to add you to my private group their are a few on there that duck in when the greifers running progs and scripts are on the loose.
How nooby are you? (Nice way)
Oh, no! Another player playing how he wants, 'blazing his own path', using his weapons in a game that allows players to use their weapons against each other for whatever reason they want with no obligation to tell you that reason. Oh, the humanity! Better tell everyone all about it!
Deciat last night wasn't a pleasant place to be. Was in a private group but watching the system chatter, there was heavy duty verbal abuse going on which has no place in Elite or any other game.
Various lowlifes were indulging in what I assume was smacktalking of other commanders in a public channel. Luckily, the report button was handy.

You might be morally correct, also regarding play style, but an anarchy system is by both game-rules and the lore a dangerous place. You will also be warned when charging FSD for jumping into an anarchy system. While I don't approve ganking, I think anarchy should be dangerous places to make the game more interesting.
Edit: Had been in Deciat yesterday, besides a number of CZs, it was peaceful.
I always fly to Deciat and other engineers in open...
I'm a pro and wasting other people's time, so I figured I'm doing you all a service.

Clogging up the support team with reports of "somebody blew up my ship in open play" is just going to waste their time that they could be spending on looking into actually actionable reports (like long-term persistent harassment and so on) or investigating reports to make sure they are actionable (that person vanished off your screen - was it an actual clog or just a desync?)
This is exactly what happened to second life back in the day - the devs actually had to put out an announcement to use the in-sim tools to block/eject minor annoyances because people were mashing report over such minor things (I tried it out when it first went free to play, tried building some things on my first day, didn't know that owned land was a thing, and came on the next day to some snooty PM telling me I'd been "blocked and reported" for the "abuse" of leaving an object on someone's e-lawn, as an example) that the support team were completely swamped and didn't have the resources to combat actual griefing and abuse - which is something that groups like ED and 4chan took gleeful advantage of.
So, yeah, spending 20 minutes mashing report on everyone you meet every day is actively making the problem worse. Thanks a lot.
Someone report this individual for frivolous abuse of the report tool!
I wouldn't say "deserved". "Existed" is probably more accurate. In the absense of any kind of PvE mode (besides pseudo-modes like PGs), anywhere you see an unknown CMDR you should be ready for combat - even if it's rare that you'll actually encounter a hostile CMDR outside of a hotspot. It happens though, even in usually-safe systems, but if you're not in a hotspot the best way to get a random murderhobo to leave is to just go elsewhere for a while and wait for them to get bored. If there's no fish in the water they'll find somewhere else to go fishing.
Somebody report this indivdiual for encouraging others to report the other individual for frivolous use of the report tool!

I respectfully disagree.
Farseer is a second rate, dirty Fed alternative to Elvira Martuuk.
Now report yourself for reporting ... gah, I can’t be bothered to go through all that
For what it's worth we were all fighting in Deciat the last 3 days/nights. I didn't see any cheating or script kiddies (unless you consider premium ammo cheating), but I still managed to get killed by HP's crew twice, those frag mambas with premium ammo hit really hard. Last night we (GARD) were patrolling Shinny, while the rest of SPEAR were in Deciat. It's been a fun two days trying to prevent Harry from ganking on his stream and then last night having an epic 3v3 with some of the G-clan guys in Shinny
Good vs Evil PvP in this game is really active at the moment, if it sounds like something that would interest you (fighting for good), get in touch.

More like a jerk infested zone because it's so easy to frustrate a newer player who just got their first Meta Alloy and just want to get it to Farseer...
