Yes, I'd be there, unless it turned out to have significant downsides. Mobius has the group size cap, isn't well- enough known, is player-moderated with inadequate tools and can be infiltrated. It's been noted before that you can be unjustly expelled from it by simple mistake and have no redress because FD have washed their hands of any responsibility for running it.

You don't get any profits from killing a clean CMDR. Not even rank or materials.
there is a PvE mode (2 in fact) PG and Solo no body is gonna hurt you there unless you let someone into the PG which again is your own thing to sort out.
It still amazes me 5 years in how people cannot comprehend what OPEN is about in Elite Dangerous. It's the same as any other MMO game. World of Warcraft was notorious and still is for ganking and pvping in certain areas. High levels smash low levels in WoW... armed guys smashed unarmed ones in Elite.
I'm sorry as much as it's annoying behavior for some no game rules have been broken, no hacks are happening, no player scams and no glitches. It just doesn't have any honour attached to it but it's peoples game to play the way they want. You're flying your space ship in areas that are not policed by NPC's and players are free to engaged eachother how they want.
If you really really really cannot take the fact someone else might shoot you either travel in Wings of 4 or still to groups and solo. There's a perfectly good PvE group called Mobius if you still want to interact with other human players.

Yes, me.
(To be honest, this is such an obvious idea that I start to suspect FDev actually wants it to not happen.)
There is a dire need for a third. That's all he wants to say.
Players don't want to "be in Open". Players want to socialize without risks.
As it stands, there is no good way to do that. Therefore, players join Open (out of ignorance or neglect).

Sure there is. The forum.
A good part of my post was trying to describe why 'a proper PvE mode' is actually a lot harder than most people think.

There is no PvP nor PvE mode, just a public main lobby, a starter zone excluding PKers in open with permit locks and a few aspiring role players trying clumsily to justify a culture of mediocrity that resulted from years of powercreep and unbalanced design. And the same hypocrites blaming people for not using solo, then for using it. Or maybe they're just idiots not really knowing what they want from a game that isn't Eve online.

Simple and straightforward... I'm in mobius (on 1 account) and play PG on another - but play open on the remaining one.
Would I want an 'open PvE' mode? No thanks... (that is all technically other modes are, just instancing flags changed), if I am in open and see an opposing faction working against me in my home system, I'm going to do something about it... Having the scenario illustrated and being unable to do anything because they are in 'open PvE'... Just no!
Me. I had made quite a few friends in the original Mobius group. When it got split into US, EU and APAC groups, I ended up in the APAC group and it turns out most of the friends I made are in the US/EU groups. So I don't see them anymore...
Me. I switch between mobius and open based on how big consequences of my death would be. Noticed mobius is much less populated than open. So im all up for default mode being pve open, then as secondary pvp open, then pgs, and as last mode to the right, solo.
Wouldnt mind some restrictions regarding to influencing pp or mf, but remember, now solo player can influnce these two.
Basically default pve open would help with fragmentation of playerbase not interesed in pvp.
Ps: inb4 anyone say something in lines "gAlAxY iS dAnGeRoUs, it is in game's name" - devs dont agree with you, they have created solo an pg alrady

Seriously? Huh... Well, my ignorance is proof that I don't go around killing clean commanders, LOL. Though I have read you earn 10 free Arx for every PvP kill.
You get 10 for getting killed.
Your use of random capital letters in an attempt to mock PvPers only makes you look immature
Though if it makes you feel better, I've been taking to task for the use of the word "griefer", which I guess is profanity in Britain based on the backlash I received. If you want to use that word to describe your assailants, I won't judge!
I disagree actually. Relogging to collect mats means he's playing his game his way and not affecting anyone else. With the lame-ass "blockage" (seriously, get over yourself!), the idiot is enforcing his game on others. Yes there are other modes and the Op could have done things differently (especially after the first or second rebuy, I mean come on Op, the clues were there!)
In open affecting and being affected by other people is a legit part of the game, in any mode you affect them via the BGS and vice versa.
