Indeed - pastels, pencils and water colours are available though....
I could just as easily have used a canvas/medium of your choice metaphor, Robert. But thanks for displaying your lack of humor for the audience once again.
ED without chaotic, unpredictable player aggression is like non-alcoholic beer, fake cheese, or the picture of a voluptuous scantily clad woman; just not the same (or anywhere near as good) as the real thing.

You could - it would have been no less subjective though.

Erevate is not closed.
Mant3z has a point, however.

A Galaxy without GvP?
...that's a Galaxy that suddenly makes sense. I like stuff that makes sense.
My "new CMDR" (not really a fresh one or Alt) back in the Bubble was more or less forced into Solo by huge Hyperjump lags and disconnects during Instance changes.
Frequently exploring, no need for Player presence anyway. No benefit. But at least everything makes sense and follows logical rules as given by the Game Design.
I've learned to appreciate that and no sporadic 'o7' or Interdictor chasing me could make up for that.
PS.
And plus, how would anyone Gank... Bookmarks? Or Codex entries?
Wouldn't work, even if I faced a hostile Wing somewhere in Deep Space in Open. So what'd be the point for either side?

ED with chaotic organic balanced PvP would be like a very well-educated, martial arts trained or very physically fit, polite and sensitve gentleman. Who doesn't need to cuss or use distasteful language in order to express himself.

I misread. My apologies.
It's my fault because I still think of Erevate as a starting system, which it technically still is.
But as you say people now have another option.
That was worth a chuckle, and while wallowing around in embuggened goat rope of a game that this "update" produced, we needed that! Thanks. ;-)
Wouldn't it be amazing if those who routinely preyed on lawful pilots had enough courage of their convictions to embrace and maintain their "wanted" status, instead of hiding behind a broken and ineffectual C&P system?
Or that the KWS could actually work in supercruise and give license to interdict and kill a pilot who'd surpassed some notoriety threshold within the last week, regardless of their status in the current system? Even if only within systems aligned with the superpower in whose jurisdiction the crime was committed? But no, I guess that would require accepting persistent accountability for one's actions -- something that's long since gone out of faction in some cultures.
Many ganker groups use prefix in their ship names to self identify. That is persistent and helpful.
Sure, and EDR is helpful in that regard, too. But it still requires acceptance of a notoriety point when you hunt the gankers who're not only hiding behind a "clean" status, but flying with report crimes on. :eye_roll:
Elite w/o gankers is like a bowl of strawberry ice cream w/o fermented fish sauce and garlic powder.
