Someone should do maybe some fusion for a game: zombie vs terminators. Mindless mayhem by definition.Lets just hope it doesn't take over the internet. Considering the debates here I wouldn't be amazed if it would go full Skynet on humanity

Well I don't know what tools there are for replicating Open-PVE mode. Perhaps humongously big blocklist, but other than that, none.

Like any Private Group, the Mobius PGs are not an Open game mode - they require to be firstly discovered then secondly the player requires to request to be admitted as a member - they have a membership limit (unlike Open which does not) - and Private Groups, like Open, are PvP-enabled, so it's not a PvE game mode (although players are required to agree to abide by the "No PvP" rule of the PG as a condition of being admitted - which some players choose to break).
Neither Open nor guaranteed to be PvE, i.e. no PvP, then....
Private Groups aren't "open" - they're segregated
Not convinced pirates turn to ganking, from what I've heard it all seems to be about sneaking up on miners to use hatchbreakers.
Been so long since we heard from The Code I'm not sure I've seen anything related to pirating a normal trader.
However jump into CG system get interdiction around star and hit by 'muh g5 beam lazorz' -no Comms at any point. Is about as far from piracy as you can get.

Indeed, but at least there will be an option for people to entertain with
I normally found very few pirates at the CG systems. I guess out of 10 Interdictions 1 is probably a pirate. And gankers not only ruin their victims time, they steal the pirating opportunities. The Pirates I know that still do RP pirating, have no good words for gankers.
But in general it is true, RP Pirates are a seldom player species and I fear they start to extinct.

It was an issue with gankers infiltrating Fleetcom or other DW2 PG.
An issue big enough that made FD to alter the PG rules as in: if someone is kicked from a PG and they're online in that PG, they will be disconnected from the game to make sure they instantly lose access to that PG and thus prevent them to keep wreaking havoc in that PG (previously they could stay in that PG until the first disconnect)
If it existed already, this thread would have not.
But we dont have an Open PVE mode, nor pvp flags.
Very true I doubt anyone in the 25% or higher would be likely to part with cargo.
Funny that you know that already.
Anyway, if it is indeed that way, than having the option will do no harm whatsoever.
Pretty much like the CQC option on the Start Screen. I dont do CQC, but i'm glad the option exist in the case i decide to try it
It will still be limited to 20k players
Playing in a 20k PG is far from being the same as playing in Open with other 200k players.
Also, an Open PVE will have a solid chance to gather players that used to play in PG before, making the galaxy more lively that it ever was since they will be in the same Mode instead of being split in thousands PG.

FD did announced they registered 500k monthly players in 2020
Let that number sink in, then compare it with 20k PG limit
FWIW I think the cap on PG should be looked at too.
I fly only in Open and in a normal session (unless I go to an engineer base or a CG) I hardly see anyone - so I can't see how PG without a cap would be any different to Open as it is now.
I'm not particularly active in my squadron or PMF, but if I were I could easily organise some gameplay with them.
I understand it's frustrating - but honestly I can't see (as others have said) what the issue is with existing tools.
What have I got wrong?
