most of those kills are not against weak players. a proper pvp fight takes a while.
In case you wonder why you get ganked in open

I thought it was griefers that take joy in upsetting other playersThanks Cmdr. I'll just have to sleep good at night knowing my one instance gives you heartburn.
PS I evade every NPCCan't say the same for PUBG or COD.
Good for you, you've achieved the bare minimum of playing skill
LOL, I stand corrected. Good show, good show.
I guess most explorers tend to avoid hot. That's why we turn shields and other non-essentials off when out in the black. Makes scooping easier
Umm yes, but you are one of those who play the game for the combat largely right? Especially the PvP side of things? That is not all that common among those who prefer to play for exploration or trading or whatever.
Remember that time when you thought Santa was real? Turned out it was an illusion. I'm afraid the "honourable" death falls in the same category. I'm sorry for all those who died, and even more for their loved ones, but honour is a middle age myth that helps no one.
I actually do everything. I take a little pride in the fact that I have a ship for every occasion. PvP and combat are my favorite but I've been really getting into exploring again lately. Especially exploring with friends.
Im just an open veteran I guess you could say. I've been playing in open for years and there's almost no situation I haven't encountered before. I love the idea of there being danger around every corner.
I respect the solo players and have no problem with players in solo and PG but I don't know how you guys do it. This game is so boring to me without random player interactions.
WE just prefer PwP rather than PvP. PvP is boring. PwP is fun.
Its just a different mind set.
The problems start when people (on both sides of the equation) expect those on the other to play their way and enjoy it (or they don't care if they enjoy it, they should just be forced to play their way or not play at all).
Hm - I tried engineering when it was first introduced, didn't care for the mat. gathering involved, there's an engineered Cobra of mine parked somewhere among the stars, now I fly a standard Python though, it's obviously nowhere near the specs for dedicated PvP ships I see posted here, ...
It's probably enough to escape most player attacks, but not to actually win a fight against a capable human opponent in a larger ship I suspect.
There's little use in flying in open when you have to run from every hostile encounter, is there ?
I know - I'd say most encounters are non-hostile, I do fly patrols in open and have never been attacked even once, it almost seems you have to put yourself in a "position" to be attacked, running cargo missions in high traffic systems, sitting still to enjoy the view etc.
I guess the strategist (avoid decisive battle unless the odds are stacked in your favour beforehand) in me is in conflict with the pilot (enjoy dogfight on even terms) - maybe I should look into the other game mode where pilots fly standardized ships for that particular purpose

Just like the gankers keeping score of their victories then?
How generous of you to permit @Phisto Sobanii his opinions. Out of curiosity: can opinion be wrong?
Out of all your rantings, this, for me, is the only bit that made some sense yet and is worthy of being pointed out again.
I would say at least 80% of my encounters are non hostile i.e. we simply ignore each other, then I usually send an o7 unless the cmdr is an imperial loving scum (aligned to an imperial power). In that case, well ...I know - I'd say most encounters are non-hostile, I do fly patrols in open and have never even been attacked even once, it almost seems you have to put yourself in a "position" to be attacked, running cargo missions in high traffic systems, sitting still to enjoy the view etc.

Could someone set up a system for recording who has died the most? That way all parties could enjoy the thrill of fighting (non-fighting) their way to the top of a table.
Some people won't be satisfied until they turn ED into COD in space...
The thing is you can have it all at once, if FD refined how modes operate, and the features inside them. If you keep bashing people together like a toddler mashing banana up its nose this problem will not be resolved.
Pave your own path , play the way you want, good for you !
Re: Solo/PG vs Open >>>
Honestly whenever I've been in Open all I have experienced is o7 or getting ganked(it is fun getting away
) ED is definitely not a proper MMO, so hence the only use I see Open for is in PvP(just imho)... and I don't PvP
At least the toddler learns where the banana should go and progresses.
True, however the mouth is the last thing to be tried. You have the cupboard door, floor, (somehow) ceiling, ear, face (progress!), various unfortunate pets and then mouth.
I hope you have some Steam charts to back these locational assertions up
Wait a minute, is this an accepted methodology for creating gameplay, as 'mashed banana' seems to be Frontier's chosen method?
