Am I understanding DW2 is being ganked? This isn't a new problem... It's a very obvious clear problem that's simply been ignored for years! Indeed, when I was playing more regularly it was exactly this sort of mindless toxic ganking that made me move to Mobius for any sort of community based gameplay!
But the core problem is not with OPEN, it's with the fact there's no effective C&P mechancics to rein in this mindless toxic behaviour to any degree at all in these situations.
In my case I was participating in the Thargoid reveal - which the FD staff wisely did in a private group, I wonder why? - and on reaching the final location, with a myriad of other similarly outfitted exploration craft, within a few minutes the dedicate combat wings of gankers turned up, popping exploration ships with their fully engineered combat ships in seconds.
But C&P alternations CAN rein this in. Not stop it, but rein it in! All that needs to be done is non-government systems to not default to anarchy... An anarchy government should be required to create an anarchy system and to actively suppress notifications of crimes. If there is not a government in a system, it should not be anarchy, and crimes should still be reported, and therefore illegal destruction held accountable. Done!
In short, at its simplest, all that needs to be done, is this...
I suggested this a while back, fed up with the pointless ganking happening at locations such as the latest exploration/alien find -

In conclusion, it's a known issue. It's been known for years... It can be addressed and reined in to some degree at least. But at the moment, the game is totally ignoring it.
