I know it sounds bad for some people, but stop to think a bit about it.
There is some estimation of a 15k of players online rush hours, if all this people play in open play the universe would be much more rich, alive and imersive, it wold create opportunities to make the game 10x more fun, make friends etc.
Before say something, yes, I know there is some issues to be taking care first like :
1) Some people dont want to do pvp, they just want to trade, mining, do missions etc, it could be addressed making an high security sector in the bubble, where it would be hard to anyone attack players in there.
2) Some people just dont want to play with other players, they just want to be off-line anyway, for those, there should be an off-line option, there could be an option to copy the open play universe into the off-line and play in there, in this case, all money and stuff you do in off-line will stays in off-line, like an second account not related with the open play.
3) New communications tools need to be done, to allow people to see who is in the same system or region for example.
4) An criminal system should be done to allow players to see who and where are the pirate, what system is more secure etc.
5) Incentives to make players to play with other players, like remove bounty hunting share, make mining bonus, make shared missions etc.
6) Make Player missions creation, there is something in eve online called contracts where an player could create an mission that other player could fulfill.
7) I am sure there is much more ideas to make the game more fun that will come after they do this.
Those ideas are not new, they work in other games, and it would really improve the game experience for everyone, maybe some would be against because of the "missions generation glitch" that will be fixed probably in 2.1 anyway, or explorers that would be afraid to leave the bubble, but I think even this can make the game more fun.
