Griefers make open impossible, and how easy the solution is.

[CMDR M. Lehman]

Yes. I'm sure FDev intended players to be driven into Solo mode or to leave the game entirely due to griefers. I'm sure that was on the drawing board day 1.

Mhm

Frontier intended for players to have mode choice. Players have mode choice. Players exercise mode choice.

Really, I don't see the problem here.

I believe this statement to be true.

 

[CMDR M. Lehman]

Sure. If you are a bored teenager

Or a motivated group of thirty-somethings who established Colonia's first-ever anarchy

They are not the problem being discussed though, are they?

The problem seems to be in your imagination

With the amount of salt we generated, we might as well be. It all boils down to how dare you present me/us with adversity through your gameplay in either case.

That much is obvious.

It isn't a problem though? You just seem to be trying to wind people up rather than looking for common ground.

 

[CMDR M. Lehman]

That much is obvious.

As is the solution to OP's question: acquire gameplay skill or select the right mode. Done.

Who cares about the salt? The people trying to generate it. Why must this be a big deal at all? Just do it, or not. Why try to make a big deal out of little irritations?

My thoughts exactly. Why treat a rebuy screen as this existential crisis that only an invulnerability toggle will rectify?

Sorry but the solution is not "Git Guud or get out". This isn't CoD.

The common ground is that I’m fine with you or anyone else playing in solo/pg if that suits you. Encountering random players means random encounters. Good and bad. You won’t be the top of the food chain. If that’s not your bag, fine. But don’t complain about a conscious decision you made to play in open.

Nor is it WoW.

And yes, both of those are perfectly valid solutions. Which have the advantage of existing. Unlike your invulnerability toggle.

No I mean specifically you. You are trying to wind people up. I contend that you are emotionally invested in this far more than those naively trying to get you to understand. Just let them rant & carry on playing your own way. No need to act like a moody teenager, no need to tell people to avoid playing in Open, no need to give any advice at all.

Why do you do this, page after page? Is this 'fun' to you? It doesn't look very fun.

 

[Banger_uk]

you also got to remember t9,clippers,anacondas are slow turners. so what you need is a speedy ship with point defences and shield graded with maybe a few missiles or torp's when you get encountered goto contacts and selected the target options take out there Fd drive will ended them quickly

I do it because I choose to.

Oh yeah let me undock my A.S.S. Explorer

You really need to actually read the thread before you start posting. I dropped my toggle several pages ago in favor for a Open PvE mode. Much easier to implement and would likely be far more popular.

Still a terrible idea.

EDIT: And no... implementation would be anything but easy.
