open

So there's a long-standing debate whether Powerplay 2.0 should go open only. FDEV first floated this idea years ago and have been sitting on it ever since, with the occasional vague reference to it's possible inclusion later down the line. I don't personally believe they have much intent or will...

If a person is in a link or squadron and commits a crime, this penalty becomes several times greater and applies to all members.

Close near death encounter I had today, extremely well played by AAAX (sry for double link, don't seem like the first one worked) Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKLiVIRo254

It just dawned on me that at least 50% of the galaxy's population, if not more, have been "snapped away" by Odyssey today. For example, when I briefly logged into Horizons, my friends list showed EVERYONE as "ED: Odyssey". Meanwhile I'm in "Galaxy Prime" (Horizons) for the foreseeable future, a...

It's clearly a PvP game mode where players choose a side and fight for terretory. So why is it allowed in solo, where you can't defend against someone undermining your system, or can't attack your enemies fortification attemtps. It would be a lot more interesting and fair if it was open only...

07 Commanders, I just survived a gank attempt for the first time. I was headed for the new federal CG and wanted to pick up some medical supplies in the nearest system to Duatma. I quickly saw a few other CMDRs on my radar, and sure enough, I was soon interdicted by a hollow triangle. Luckily...

Hello CMDRs & Frontier Development Team, Background: I'm a rookie to Elite Dangerous. Even though I purchased it some time ago, I was rather an occasional player. Now that I've got more time to go deeper into this marvelous spacefaring world, I hope that I can offer my fresh eyes to the...

The Elite community is small enough as it is (compared to other big titles out there), and I think it's a shame that rather than adjust game mechanics to adjust risk/reward of being in open, Fdev instead provides ways to divide the community (solo, private groups, etc) who likely would rather a...

Please introduce two community goals contradicting each other. Example: Some faction wants to collect a resource to build "something". Other faction wants to prevent this construction. So, Commanders enlisted for the 1st faction will try to protect the transport NPC vehicles delivering the...

I think that people are mainly in solo to protect their investments, not to get away from people. By changing the options to just Open and Hardcore, it would probably help the community aspect of the game, player groups, and squadrons, but it also might help the servers, right? Instead of...

Disclaimer - I am NOT advocating for Open-Only, I'm just making an observation. Today I decided to join the Tritium Truckers, in hopes to make some meager credits to help me slowly progress to my goal of someday owning a fleet carrier. The best prices were between two outposts, so I configured...

Similar to how the shelters has an 'open all' option, could we have the same but for our gates? This time however, it will prompt up a message asking if this is something you actually want to do twice, in which upon answering yes to both, not only do the gates open, but have that sabotage...

UPDATE - Thanks to much discussion and the very simple but elegant solution posed by one CMDR, I've changed my approach to the blocking system. I've decided to use it as a reverse iron man, in that once you have murdered me, I'm dead to you. You'll never see me again, because to you, I'm dead...

This weekend was my first serious "study" of PvP at a CG on PC, and it's been months since I've PvPed on PS4. I observed a few things, performed a few experiments, and came to a few conclusions that may be right or wrong. I'm sharing these for discussion. First thing I noticed is that when...

This is my first CG on PC, woo! I've been "ship watching" at one of the CG stations, and the flow of CMDR trading traffic has been steady. Finally I decided to grab a few tons of grain in my Dolphin to do my part, and on my return to the system I was chased by two very persistent griefers. To my...

I recently switched from Solo/Group play to Open play and on my first day I ran into a random commander who interdicted me. During the interdiction while still in supercruise I noticed that even though I kept my reticle at the escape vector (at max speed) my "escape meter" kept going down, even...

Pirate here, roleplay pirate. After a night drinking Orerrian Vicious Brew I had a vision: We should phase out the FSD Disruptor (Yuri Grom Powerplay module) We really need the Menu Log Disruptor. Thoughts, ideas, improvements are welcome.

Yes. I made a title. I'm not sure how common utilizing the in-game voice-comms is on other platforms, I know on PS4 people prefer the PSN voice parties in my circles, maybe PC is different usage rate wise. A point. I had a point. An issue in Elite: Dangerous is the difficulty in quickly...

Elite should keep tabs on number of players blocking and reporting a given player, and treat that as "bad karma score" (with reporting resulting in more bad karma than blocking). Instancing code should consider the score when dividing players to instances, and tend to throw ones with heaps bad...

Very, very sorry if I missed an announcement thread somewhere but I know that there were several rather lengthily (and often heated) discussions concerning the question of Power Play being Open only or not. I had assumed the discussion back and forth on this issue was expected to be decided upon...

The idea is: what happens in a mode stays in a mode. Wanna play single player fine. Wanna play open fine. Wanna play both , fine. But your stuff in one does not exist in the other. This means pvpers can't hide in solo when in their taxi ship to CG, and then switch to open when they feel safe in...

I love this game, but I don't play it for the PvP, personal I'm not good at it and mostly I don't enjoy PvP games, its just not in my enjoyment of a game. But what I do enjoy is cooperation and playerbases, honestly some of the best times I've had on ED is interacting with people. For me the...

So the BGS.. The bane of many Cmdr's existence. {DISCAIMER}: This is an open only advocating post, for the reasons contained within. (I feel the need to point out these home truths as noone on the other postings will even reply to my comments.) BGS is both a PvE and PVP activity, in such that...

Hi! I have three questions relating this topic: 1. In Solo Play, do other ships represent real players or they are AIs? 2. Am I destroyable in Solo Play Mode if I slow down in space somewhere in a star system and quit from the game application? How does other players see and interact with my...
