I have some feedback, first hand down this is my new favorite game, I'm flying with a Thrustmaster 16000m with pedals and have a blast exploring the vastness of outer space.
I am a fairly new pilot and I just recently joined a squadron. I am very curious about why do your private play sessions carry over to the open play sessions. I'm not understanding how a squadron can be working on the "BGS" (Back Ground Simulation(for new pilots like me)) in an open play session just to be thwarted by players in private play sessions. Last I checked the game is called "Elite Dangerous" not "Elite Hello Kitty Island Adventure". We should be able to defend our territory's progress from other players via combat and not by what group of players can run the most missions in a private session.
Also what is up with the engineering grind? If it was not for my squadron I would be lost and the fact that the fastest way to farm is to repeatedly log out and log into a private session to scan a few nodes and collect materials is just not a good catch up mechanic game design for new players, it's just not fun. New players are forced to grind these "farm spots" to have a reliable ship for PVP due to the engineering benefits, can the Devs please think about maybe some other catchup mechanic. Maybe some sort of epic trailblazing chain mission that allows us to upgrade our engineering to a certain extent, or allow us to buy the upgrades with credits. This would allow us to just do the missions we want to do, explore the systems we want to explore and hunt the pilots we want to hunt without us sitting on a planet or a farm spot logging out and in to farm materials.
Then on top of all this, you can essentially play in private sessions with no real threat, you can completely outfit and engineer your ship without one encounter with another player. Then log into the open play and hunt new pilots like me, but that same "Elite" pilot would jump to a private session if they were interdicted by a player flying in a similar ship. Private sessions should not count towards open play in any form.
