So..."Render unto Caesar..." Since Mode Feature Exclusivity is being justified by Sandro's statement of Player versus Player style in Open, the next best course of action would be then to remove all PvE activity from Open and make it available only to Private Groups and Solo as a result, as...

This is hardly an isolated experience. In this case a griefer intentionally baits a helper into a situation where they know the helper wont be kitted out to fight back. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/8o38xi/catcall_the_other_side_of_a_fuel_rat_ambush/ Murderhobo excuse...

I would like to see more benefits to playing in Open, perhaps a “bonus” for certain interactions like CGs and trading. Not sure how you could implement that in a way that can’t be exploited by mode switching. It shouldn’t have a negative effect on Solo, only encourage and reward Open play.

I was thinking during more than week, how to express my feelings about Elite: Dangerous. And suddenly understood, that just a pair of pictures will say all for me, better than any words. This is how i perceived Elite2, Elite3, and Elite: Dangerous during first 1-2 years after release, and why...

If you read all of this, big thumbs up to you! I tried to set this up in a format that gets the gist of the message out there even if you skim. If you agree with this proposition, don't nod and move on to the next thread, leave a response to generate attention. If you disagree, by all means...

Community Goals have a problem. Namely, the often encourage NOT participating in Open or Groups, but instead, resorting to Solo play. And while its fine to play Solo if you choose to, NEEDING to play Solo, in order to fulfill "Community" Goals...is a problem. To fix this, we first need to...

TL;DR: Not everyone in Open are giant piles of lint bags. Some faction wingmates and I decided to do some Bounty Hunting in the local Haz Res in Eravate, which at the time was the meeting point as all 4 of us were spread out over the galaxy. We decided to go to Open, more of a convenience...

With the launch of Squadrons, I believe that this matter should also be discussed... Since Sandro Samarco mention "PP Open Only", I think appropriate to talk about the BGS too. I already generated LOCKDOWN on a system playing SOLO (I did a test to see if it was possible). After confirming...

Fdev creates Elite:Friendship and rainbows. All the ships run on love. Your guns dont damage other ships, But rather they tickle them making the pilot like you more and more until allied. No shields needed. The only crime is missing your 15 minute interval hugging break. Which makes your ship...

What if we had a Powerplay mode where you can only attack or be attacked by people who have pledged to a power other than your own? My biggest issue with moving Powerplay to Open is the gankers and griefers who don't care about Powerplay at all, but just want to go after the easy target of a...

What is the barrier preventing Fdev from having separate servers for each mode? Is it just too much work? I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. It seems to me this would keep both sides happy but maybe i'm missing something.

Morning Cmdr's! I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it(didn't look because I'm at work) and wanted your thoughts. With Squadrons coming up, I thought it was time to revisit this idea. The long-short of it is that, if FD could enable PVP flagging, there wouldn't be a...

Currently we have the following modes in the game: a) Open b) Player Group c) Solo The idea is to add one new mode: Open Legacy with an optional mode of Legacy Player Groups The Open Legacy mode would be a duplicate of the current Open mode, however restricted to content available within the...

A regular complaint justifiably levelled at ED is that there is no 'meaningful' PvP, it has no effect on the BGS, combat ranks etc. It cannot, because the idea of effecting change via PvP is incompatable with the instancing filters (blocklist and solo/group modes). The aim of this proposal is to...

You've bitten off more than you can chew in an RES, or CMDR GankyMcSpanky has yanked you and killed you, or you ran into a Neutron star, or a pirate killed you in a fit of spite. So, to the rebuy screen you go. What if, at the rebuy, there's an option that says "Wait X minutes for rescue"...

https://youtu.be/Y48U_JXYMLk After reading them threads where people complain about BGS & that doing things for it in solo is cheating : it sparked an idea for this! Now to note once more : doing BGS or power play in solo or private IS NOT CHEATING and if you think it is : well you are wrong...

Hi all! I am quiet sure that these suggestions happened before in some way, I want to write down my own ideas. My first suggestion would be to have only open game mode. Atm the game is basicly a single player game with multiplayer possibilities. I understand the players who play alone or...

I've been off of my xbox for a few months, and felt like hopping on Elite since it's been a while. I purchased Gold so that i could play in open, however I'm still getting the message 'your account does not have permission to use multiplayer features'. Any suggestions?

I am a PvP player. I do not and never will apologize about it. Yes I would love to enjoy all other aspects of ED but the way I see the game, the only one thing that is fully developed are ship vs ship battles. That is the meat and bone of this game. Every other activity is only a filler for me...

I know this is going to be a contraversal topic. But I want to start a dialogue in the hope that others will ultimately give confidence to Frontier to do what needs to be done. Unless, of course, there are counter-points that validate the system as it is--but I think we need to deal with a...

Update (2017/11/13) Fdev clarified the intent of the TOS. In response, I've made some changes to EDR so that it doesn't rely on the cmdrhistory file which wasn't meant for public consumption. Beside that, Fdev was actually supportive of EDR's features. I also made a few other changes based on...

Frontier have provided two (any more?) official APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for Elite: Dangerous. These are: Elite Companion API EDAPI (Elite Dangerous API Tool) also: Elite Dangerous Journal There are two Free, widely used, industry standards relevant to APIs: Swagger...
