Christ man get some perspective.fear in a computer game. Only in ED have a seen a fire fighter and an RAF vet called cowards due to how they play a game..... Fear has fig all to do with it, it is about enjoyment of an entertainment product. Due to the fact that the game is laughably soft on those who choose to play in a certain manner, I just choose.not to play with them. Imagine 2 beaches 1 allows dogs on and doesn't punish owners who allow them to mess on the sand...and another which does not allow dogs.When you run and hide from the bullies and then cry about it, it only emboldens them. They're like telemarketers or scam-callers. Either turn the tables or waste their time. Stop living in fear.
I don't have a dog so why would I choose to face even the slight risk of standing in their muck when I don't have to?
That said open is open...... If you don't like it don't play in it , no point complaining about it. FD have chosen to not give consequences against a certain play style for 6 years I can only conclude that they are ok with it. Open is MadMax . If you want that embrace it of not choose another mode

He can't help it...
Probably believes that owning a 'pair' makes him special too...
(assuming he is old enough for them to have dropped, of course)

In my experience it makes little difference what mode I'm in... Outside the usual systems it feels identically empty (sadly).
A pair of ovaries?
You should block them you mean?
I just got a new phone, can automatically block anonymous numbers, so much quieter its awesome. Can also block individual numbers and see the number that is calling. Dunno how I lived without it. I like the 3 different options.
Sounds similar to gta getting ganked on sell missions. Out of nowhere, rocket...boom (wasted time, effort and desire to play).
The feeling left after having no chance is the best game development can come up with!? "To hell with open".

GTA online is another classic example of a single player game I respect combined with a multiplayer game I dislike. (Same with RDR - not played 2)
Yahoo's driving around a populated city randomly shooting at anyone they can is just not something I am interested in and it's not about getting shot... Even with PvP damage off I just find seeing that nonsense game breakingly annoying. PayDay 2 , now there is a game which has got multiplayer heists right imo
No, the owners of those don't usually consider they are a requirement to be able to be a successful aggressor... and, of course, are normally much 'harder' than the wimps who carry a couple of growths about in a bag...
You can try like I did, but they just fly around near the planet so that you get planetary interference and can't interdict them. It just becomes an annoying game of tag that doesn't get anywhere
even if they engage you, they will just log out on you. It's done just to annoy you further.Bloody childish if you ask me!

I tried in the past, it's a thankless job, and on top of that it's quite immersion breaking because patrolling around Dav's will have you witness ships plopping in and out of the instance like magic because people keep re-logging.
Then there's the wait time for a bad guy to show up. Last time I visited this didn't happen at all, so I was just flying around in circles wasting my playing time doing nothing productive really. That gets boring fast.
Even if some action ensues, those Asps et al usually pop so quickly the ganker will have sufficient time to focus their fire on them, destroy them and then afterwards turn towards you. You then either out-rock-paper-scissor them, or vice versa, so after a bit of jousting/reverski, eventually either one of you leaves the instance to regroup when the odds are against them or you. Rinse and repeat.
Catching out a ganker will only work if they're noobs themselves, and since most of them fly the kind of ship that is very hard to beat 1v1, even worse if they're in a wing, there's not much point in playing space cops (imo, others clearly get a kick out of it and fair dos). And even if you do manage to pop them, since they tend to fly medium ships, the rebuy is negligible, and they'll be back again preying on yet another victim a minute later (due to their fleet carrier parked nearby no doubt). It's like punching jelly. Worst case they block you and you won't instance with them again.
The only people who can help gank victims is the victims themselves by learning how to build sturdy enough ships, develop piloting skill and practice situational awareness. It's also more rewarding for them once they get to that level (certainly was for me).

So they clogged on you damn. Do you have a video about that happeneing?
I mine in open all the time just because I can't be bothered switching modes. In anarchy systems on the edge of the bubble the vast majority of the time.
However: I don't mine at the "omg everyone mine here this system is great" sites, especially since overlaps have been nerfed. The only time I've ever encountered another player mining is when I've deliberately gone looking for them - and the way I found them was by looking up "omg here's a great mining spot" lists for people that don't want to do the prospecting part for themselves.
I can't find a system without that annoying as F pirate that spawn on top me every single solitary time I go mining...I even unloaded and went back FN pirate tries to interdict me with a hold full of limpets. (No type of wanted lvl either). I hate how they've programmed that! Prolly should be checking my hold for stowaways (a guy with a long range tracking device).
