Please be aware that I am just listing the arguments in my post.
Non of them really are a concern for me personally. As I also wrote in my initial post, I am fine with the online-only solution.
Furthermore I mostly play in 'open' and if I don't, I am fine with other comander's influences on the BGS.

Yeah but thats still not huge grounds for the concept. A station goes out once in a while? So what? It does'nt play that much of a factor in people's gameplay surely? There are milliions of potentially useful systems, and if I remember correctly, all states in systems/stations are temporary?

Sandro and you are all misunderstanding the results from the mega-poll about OPEN and SOLO players.

There's no vast majority in OPEN mode.

Here the results:
OPEN: 48.95%
PRIVATE GROUP: 23.30%
SOLO: 27.75%

ref: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6stz53/elite_dangerous_mega_survey_results/

1. Remember that a lot (most?) players chose PRIVATE GROUP to play with their friends and to avoid OPEN (MOBIUS for example, which is a huge community)
2. With the new proposal for the Power Play Solo and the Private Groups will be excluded because they work with the same logic (you can influence the BGS without being seen).

This means that 51.05% of players (the majority) will be excluded from the Power Play.

So where is this vast majority of OPEN players?

To me the results are preatty clear: it's 50-50 and you can't even base your opinions on what people write on this forum, because there are a lot of players that do not follow the communities (for example I subscribed here and to Reddit after 2 years)

If there are limitations it's ok to reserve Power Play for OPEN only but you have to provide big contents to re-balance the situations also to SOLO players, giving all the game play that is now missing becuause of the multi-player limitations:
- base building
- customizable ships
- personal beacons
- missions creator

and release a SDK for modders.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. Mobius/Solo players aren't excluded from power play. They can chose to not take part in powerplay open only, but they are not excluded. Seriously, I have about 1950 of my 2000+ play hours in solo or mobius, and I am very excited by open only power play, because there will be a real reason
for me to fly in open then. If open only power play really will arrive, give it a try. Adapt, learn new ways, embrace the danger and thrill. Build yourself a cheap but survivable ship (I have two now I want to try as blockade runners, a T6 and a Clipper) and just try it.

The way it is planned now, you only have to do a run with cargo to the target system. Anything else can be made in solo/PG.
And there are lots of target systems (if you just want to grind your modules for example). So the risk even in open will be very limited.
