Get rid of all the people who think it's funny to attack people just "for the lulz" and I'll think about it. But at the end of the day, people are arseholes at the best of times and people in online games are MASSIVE areseholes. So no. I have no interest, ever, in playing in open. But then I also had no interest in this even being an always-online game to begin with and will never forget Frontier's lies during the kickstarter.

Imagine attacking someone for no other reason other than to waste their time and their effort because you can't bear to see anyone else having fun.Imagine not shooting at ships in a game with ships and guns

Nope. No one said that. Thank you for playing.You want to basically ban players for a day for engaging in PvP? Peak forum moments.
Like?imagine other reasons

I think a complete erase at first offense is a little much, but something more than the current lash with a wet noodle is needed. Some variance of:
- Destroying an unwilling clean ship gets the attacker to pay for the ship's insurance, and value of any content lost. This includes cargo and data.
- Destroying a harmless or mostly harmless clean ship does the above, plus a 1 day jail term.
- If ATR is called in to deal with a ganker, they will not announce themselves like they do now as this gives the offender plenty of time to kill some more and escape to safety.
- ATR will follow gankers across the galaxy for a number of days equivalent to their notoriety.
All of the above are for gankers. As much as I despise the profession, pirates are gameplay. For clarity, you are a (parasite) pirate if you try to steal someone else's cargo. I will deny I ever said this, but: most pirates are decent.![]()
So, to waste their time and their effort because you can't bear to see anyone else having fun.speedeng in super cruise
having a virus in docking computer
lack of shields on a passenger ship and putting passangers at risk
assistance in getting to the destination station faster
all in the name of a good cause![]()

What do you think being put in jail for one day sounds like and not being able to do anything? Sounds like a ban to me you silly goose.

no, someone can explode during docking by a poorly mounted docking computer. lots of casualties at stationSo, to waste their time and their effort because you can't bear to see anyone else having fun.
Sounded like he'd like to see fewer anti-social nobends, rather than ban PVP. Not the same thing, so no one did suggest that.It's pretty rude to call someone "no one", whose post is literally 1 post above the one you replied to:
I can't imagine thatImagine choosing a PvP enabled mode in an online game and then come to the forums to whine about having been attacked by another player.![]()
So how's the game mechanics of that work then?no, someone can explode during docking by a poorly mounted docking computer. lots of casualties at station
this can be prevented
