Chaff should be removed from the game.

I know this will sound really really crazy but before you get out the straitjacket... how about some sort of server (rather than peer to peer) based PvP combat disallowing logging and firewall hijinks, and adding any sort of mechanic that was only accessible in open mode. Also cross instance persistent wakes with time decay weighted by factors like rebuy, cargo value, bounty and notoriety.

I'll go take my Haldol now.

Not that the idea is bad, but instead you'll get C&P mk 3 :D

Every DW2 participant gets weightless ATR weapons and when I activate my interdictor it replaces my ship with a stock E rate sidey. I'd still try though. At least that has better weapons than an SRV (I think?).

I was about to suggest remove solo

That wouldn't fix PvP. The problems and the whining about PvP would still persist.

On the other hand Bigmaec's suggestion, removing PvP, would fix PvP on a profound and fundamental level.
There would never be any problems with PvP anymore... ever. ;)

FD should have gone ahead with linking sensor grade with gimbal efficacy to balance gimbal use and make fixed weapons have extra value.
 
Much better. [replacing sidey with SRV]

You'd probably still win though.
Sneezing in some of those exploration builds is considered risky. :p

LOL. I already fought a DW2 conda from an SRV. It lost two shield rings and C-logged (was manned the entire time and I gave comms warning while it was still airborne); I'm not sure ATR weapons would have helped. They might require target lock to fire accurately and it's non trivial to get that on a grounded SRV. I'm legitimately concerned that CMDR wouldn't have thought to deploy his/her hardpoints. (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...balance-aka-I-just-ganked-a-conda-from-an-SRV)

Unless you mean my SRV is floating in space. That would be an interesting handicap to try to overcome. Sounds like a fun time though. Someone posted a video having managed to boost one out of orbit. It went really really fast and was actually difficult to catch.

Improve PvP by giving sensors the same restrictions that CQC has, as in they lose contact if your target is obscured by something.
 
Put an "I WIN" token in the store.
After you buy the token you can type in the name of any commander and that commander's ship immediately explodes.

That would be considered "Pay to Win" by some folks, but you were never going to make them happy anyways.

I do have an proposition regarding a new ship module.
Since it’s “impossible” to implement a combat timer, in which the ship stays vulnerable in space after a combat log. I propose to… wait for it… create an “Automated Combat Logging Module” (specially for the salty no rebuy owners). One remark thou… once installed it stays forever.

How would it work you ask?
Interdiction = Boom! Your game just shut down.
Your ship hull is 99.9% = Boom! Your game just shut down.
Out of ammo? = Boom! Your game just shut down.
You logged into Open? = Boom! Your game just shut down.

So a typical Saturday evening then? :p
 
Bring back Energy Bombs. But you can only buy them if you've never interdicted another Cmdr or fired the first shot at another Cmdr.

Edit: And they only prime if another Cmdr initiates hostility against you.

Exactly! Better grade Sensors should give tighter, wider and faster targeting that sees through more chaff.

The simple increase in distance is irrelevant because of weapon range.

I also want to finally upgrade from my D's.
