I always play in open myself. Reason behind my decision? I enjoy human contact regardless if its friendly or hostile! It's what makes this game so enjoyable and challenging. Sure you can be in solo mode and have 1,000,000.000 credits and a A rated cutter, but what is the fun in that? NPC's are really no challenge. Even the Thargoids pose no "great" threat.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Don't try recommending challenge or indeed enjoyment to people around here. It gets taken badly.
Not everybody enjoys the same things, but trying to tell that to people around here gets taken badly.

I find that dealing with the miscreants of Open to be neither a 'challenge' nor 'enjoyment' Sir. Heck, I can only tolerate Mobius PvE for short periods.![]()
Very well stated. Losing a 17 million rebuy to a ganker in a shieldless sidey who deliberately rams my Conda isn't in the cards for me.I usually play in a private group simply because I have no interest in interacting with people I cannot trust.
The risk is simply not worth the reward IMO.
That would be fine if trying to develop what you like didn't get taken badly. But that's not for us to shove in OP's face. We'll give him time for the cynicism to set in naturally.
Excellent attitude OP.

Can I ask an honest question Stitch. Do you enjoy being beaten repeatedly in PVP?
Again, just because he enjoys human company in a computer game doesn't mean that everybody else should too. It's not (IMHO) any more cynical to want to play a computer game on your own than it is to suggest that not playing with others provides no challenge or fun.
As a wise man once said: Eh?
Well I am just postulating. You seem to be projecting that other people should enjoy the game in the way that you do.
So I ask again, can you think of a time, in any game for that matter, where you have been in repeated PVP engagements and lost over and over?
Genuinely not having a go, just trying to understand your mindset is all.
If being alone or general tranquility is your thing, or you like to play pretend PvP via BGS manipulation, then by all means be alone![]()
If challenge or excitement or interaction is your thing, head to Open.
Glad that's sorted. Now, can we fix PP without offending solo players...?
*dodges thrown shoes*
Heh.

Exactly my thoughts. What would happen if Open was the only mode available?
The only issue I have with the different modes right now is BGS. You could have enemies from another power/faction undermine you in solo and you can't do anything about it. Everything else is up to the player but the BGS is very annoying. I think they should look into it. Again please stay your pitchforks and realize that this is just a small human's opinion about an in-game mechanic.
