Sadly Open is still only membership unlimited co-op mode. Open/PVE mode and these complaints would go away. Of course that means that unwilling targets for gankers would go away too.
Another solution to ganker problem

Heat management is better (and in general due to lower hw requirements higher FPS, less stuttering etc).
Some hardpoints have also issues on 4.0 (not deploying. not firing) and I've the feeling that ships stall more in 4.0 vs 3.8
No idea. What's there for somone playing PvP in 4.0 that isn't in 3.8?
Well, easy targets we leave out the equation for now.
What this game needs is hollow triangle freighter NPCs with an api hook into Alexa. Spawn half a dozen of those on waking in. To the extent any chat takes place, Alexa can hold up her side of the conversation. CMDRs who like attacking radically weaker hollow triangles will get their fix. The game will appear more populated, and actual pirates will get more targets: everyone wins!
I mean this again points to the fact that it's not an issue.
Presumably unwilling targets would be a target only once?
Therefore unless there is a mighty churn of new players who play in Open once before quitting to block or PG/Solo the majority of targets in Open are willing.
Meaning that this whole thread is a non-issue.
Block just blocks a single ganker at time. You'll need to populate block list. Meaning either meeting ganker or doing osint to pre populate blocklist with usual neverdowells.
Yep, so there's no ganker problem as a solution is readily apparent, no?
Nope, unless you do extensive pre-emptive blocking. And it takes some research, for example these forums forbid "naming and shaming".
If the end result, however you do it, allows you to play in Open free of gankers, then I'd say that is a solution. Or do you disagree?
I
Well it mostly works, if block list is extensive enough.
You do not need to block every ganker, just those that are most likely to connect with you. Depending on region and your connection that might be relatively small number, or not.
Genuinely, @TiberiusDuval - with an active block list do you find organic PvE in Open?
Personally I don't do much things that need co-op. I run mostly transport missions, or exploring. Kind of lone wolf type anyways.
I guess he mostly tries to rile up gankers here with block this block that. Too bad they all left
Well it kind of protects others. When one instances with me, gankers are not availableI guess he mostly tries to rile up gankers here with block this block that. Too bad they all left
I think the "competitive" part of the PvP will still take place in 3.8 as there's no need to care about the background simulation.
To clarify, can we use the G word as PvPer does not fit, and would the description have to be longer - non consensual PvPer?
