Yes, the trouble with it is, it was before mode-flipping stopped and before squadrons (which often make private groups). Those changes could have changed the mode usage statistics. IMO it's a rather out-of-date snapshot of the game, but it's the best guess available.
[BREAKING NEWS] Largest Heist In Galactic History Takes Place: EIC Robbed by The Code
- Thread starter Powderpanic
- Start date
I hope Elite Dangerous II fixes all this.He said a lot of things, so did David, so did Brooks.
But the popularity of Open thing was, I think fairly recent. But I'm not going to dig through the forum to find it. I don't care enough
For the record, I don't think the current design of SC is going to work either. Way too many ways to grief.

Ummm, maybe you don't know, but emergent player-driven content is delivered (in Open) every single day by other groups.

Maybe that kinda stuff needs to be on Galnet, so we can all jump in, or avoid?Ummm, maybe you don't know, but emergent player-driven content is delivered (in Open) every single day by other groups.

I'd like that very much. I suspect that would be very tempting for lawful/not very lawful pilots.

If the majority of people wanted it, why isn't there any cohesive push to attain it, unless the different "factions" have such different outlooks on what they want from PvP that it's chaos to try to formulate a unified message?
If this forum isn't representative of the player base, then either PvPers avoid this place or PvEers flock here (or both).
Sure, but it has nothing to do with emergent PvP.
I wouldn't want it flipped. I like having the options to play in any mode. I was only pointing out that this great panacea of PvP wouldn't do anything for PvE'ers who don't care. Would a PvPer really care if different alien life was found 25K LY from Sol, except to perhaps gank the explorers going to carebear them back into hiding?
Then you'd all be still shooting each other because the PvE'ers wouldn't put up with it. They'd find other things to do. That's why they are called PvE'ers. If they wanted to PvP, they'd PvP. It's right there and always has been. They want to PvE, and even the "V" part is questionable. It's more like PiE or "Player Investigating Environment". The "vs" part doesn't appeal to a good number of ED'ers.
That's all cool stuff to someone like me, but I can also see the viewpoint of those who believe the game is not about what you can fight over in the tiny region of the bubble, but what you can share from your time in uncharted space. I can see the appeal of both groups, but I don't think they are compatible.
It seems that many are missing the point on what happen here, a commander read and agreed to abide by EIC player group rules got in with the full intension of doing harm to the EIC player group. Many praised his actions as just game piracy and that would be fine if his piracy was completely in game but they weren’t, he applied out side of the game for player group access and lied on the application and to fellow group members. That makes him a liar and thief not a pirate.
During Distant Worlds Two, some commanders lied on the Fleetcomm Private Group application form to gain access to grief and kill other commanders in Fleetcomm PG. There should be no praise for lying and causing other player grief but outrage for this kind of behavior.
How do you expect any player group to function if the group rules mean nothing.
At the end of the day this commander is just a liar in real life.
Fdev should look into this and ban commanders that join player groups under false pretenses
Also I have no connection with EIC.

We did it on XB1 few months ago, it was called "Distant Robbery" and it was big fun with many squadrons involved... anyway, a pirate faction could be well organised (as we, the Dark Marauders, are).
I'm just gonna leave this here and get my Hutton mug for the tears

That sounds boring as hell. There's no joy in being the hunter or the hunted when it's just a sham.
Absolutely incorrect. More outlaws than not are more than happy for lawfuls to come after them.
Too slow. I posted this in this thread ages ago.
Notice the difference between flying a cargo ship and facing murder boat with murder boat.
Yes, I'm quite familiar. Your point?
There has never been a greater den of scum and villainy.
Yes, Diaguandri, all those Anacondas called...Anaconda (spits) please,clean it out.
Hmm. I'm not getting it.
Run away, quickly?
Move to solo?
Enquire about Mobius?
As much as I have taken a disliking to the EIC ever since a few of their members shot up my ship some time back because they believed I was manipulating the BGS to start a war in one of their unofficial adopted systems (I wasn't). It's good for see them get a nice slap in the face.
However, I can't condone the fact that you went outside the game and phished an account password does and broke in to that said account. It is illegal and unsportsmanlike (even if you are pirates, keep your role playing in the game). It's more or less Cheating and lacks skill. I'd be impressed if you kept the espionage in the game and have your spy feed you information on a mining party or a trade meeting to then go and raid them. That would of kept the spirit of the game and the way the trade of piracy was designed to be.

Perhaps outfit and fly their ship competently in order to deliver its cargo to its destination intact. They should also think ahead and plan for adversity.
