Yup, maybe I am lucky. But I have had no issues of griefing.
In team fights - I have cleared the 6 of of other human players - come to their aid when another human player started attacking them, and vice versa. When under attack form too many NPCs, other players lending a hand.
Similarly in the bounty hunter area - the mining locations - players who have no business shooting each other just leave each other alone - the way it should be.
Shame we can communicate yet - myself in a Cobra and a guy in a sidewinder where chilling out and flashing each other(!!!) in the hanger bay of the capital ship in the distress location.
I know all the current players have paid well to get in the Beta, so are more likely to be "decent" platers, I hope it stays this way as the game opens up.
Still, if not - there is a lot of space to hide in - but human cooperation is nice to see.
I was the guy in the sidewinder! B)
Good first night in MP for me, I did end up getting owned by a few other human players later that evening in the conflict zone, but I was fair game for not having situational awareness while dogfighting, so far this game has been an amazing experience.. Can't wait for more!
