I've never fired on a fellow CMDR (yet), but I love the concept of a universe where that is possible. Even if I never engage actively in PvP, I think the Elite universe would be a lifeless, dull place without the strong possibility of being pulled out of SC by a human pilot intent on your destruction.

Plus, the PvP crowd pretty much just accepted the upgraded 2.1 NPC's without mewling like newborn kittens, while the PvE crowd screamed so loudly and strenuously that Fdev dialed them back to "baked potato," so I'm kind of pro-PvPer now in the political sense.

I like PvP but I barely do it.... once a month is about as often as I end up fighting another human commander.

No, it's unbalanced in the extreme and not in a good way, love PvP in the likes of IL2 or Battlefield, hate the fish in a barrel PvP of Elite which would be fine with a decent crime and punishment system. The only PvP in Elite I enjoy is Arena/CQC.

I like PvP as it is challenging. The AI is incredible easy compared to other games. If I would need to compare the AI in ED I would say Battlefield 3/4. Shoot good, move good, hit good, have no idea what they are doing.
Basically this is the main reason why I PvP.
Other reasons are that there are no entertaining alternatives as everything is pretty limited. Trading is not trading it is hauling. Exploring is repeating three tasks whic hare jump-scan-repeat.
CQC is way too easy and is bascially about who can farm noobs faster.
Would participate in UA/UP researches but as the full story is not implemented yet and content will be added every patch (Short: can not be fully solved at this point) I see no reason to put effort in that.
Other than that there are no real tasks to do in Elite so I stay with PvPing. Yes I do like it. :)

Off-topic: Just watched top gun today. :)

And it is just dying due to Engineers. Lots of PvPers wait for the Engineers to change as of thermal shock being ridiculous and the progression being too limited/slow/annoying as people are forced to do stuff they usually don't do which results in refusal not so rarely. I expect PvP to shine again when the Engineers are fixed and the missing content been added.

Don't really care for it, it is too rare to come up with a situation where another Cmdr might attack me and our ships were evenly matched. Engineers has just made it worse, as without mods I will be outmatched for sure. The price of trying PvP feels quite steep for me, as insurance rebuy will anyway cost quite much. I've been attacked twice, while the pirate that wanted my cargo was nice and all, I didn't really care for the guy who shot me in the back without warning.. Didn't have time to get ready for the fight.

That said, I do like CQC whenever I can find a match. As a change to the game, it would be great to have some, even occasional czs where the faction would pay for rebuy, allowing us to PvP without needing to spend hours to regain the lost rebuy money.

Not in this game, no. In order to have decent PvP, people need to be on even ground. A trader cannot win a fight against a combat pilot of equal skill.

I love PvP, always have and always will...unfortunately, ED just doesn't float my boat when it comes to pvp and I would actively avoid it here ^^
