But just because you don't enjoy those streams doesn't mean you should encourage that they be disrupted. Again all it does is reinforce the perception that players shouldn't play in open unless you like to be ganked and thus less players in open, except newbies and seal clubbers.
Live stream format change - Ed

They have admin commands available to them. In previous life streams, when he had to travel far distances, Ed usually just blackens the screen and types something to teleport to a different location.
I assume they don't want to use admin commands or "god-mode" for combat though, because of possible backlash.
Although, it would be funny if he would spawn in 10 Thargoid interceptors as guardians.

Also, I suspect that's not an option when streaming on consoles.
We are reading that statement in different ways then. I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong either, but it's not how I read it.
Is there really anything wrong with asking Frontier for official clarification here on the forum? If they say you have the right of it - then all is well and good.
Some of us, unfortunately, spend large amount of time every day locked behind a computer waiting for stuff to finish. There is only so many times you can read the usual news sites and watch cute kitten vids on youtube.
My salt collector has been fully mined and filled up. Thank you
Home time, while we wait for the Fdev response.

I've never wanted to put someone on ignore, until now. Sacrilege!!!
*hangs head in shame*
Doesn't really matter about the rights/wrongs of PvP in open....but Ed's reaction at the end of the vid just isn't a good advert for the game.
Especially when he's the community manager.

Gotta be tired of kids crap
This game is boring to watch. Especially for someone that isn't an Elite player.
I've watched ObsidianAnt before I started playing and always loved his videos, because he showcased only interesting stuff. But he also did a let's play series, I couldn't even w watch 3 minutes of it. It's just boring when it's not your ship.
The only thing, which might be cool for people that aren't players might be the graphics, and they look much worse on stream than in-game.
So if he can't show the more interesting stuff, he shouldn't stream the gameplay at all. I've preferred the story-stream they just did in the virtual cockpit without the game playing.
Quite. Also look for the stream when Bo's ship was blown up (a weaponless Hauler she was using to learn the basics). At her first encounter with griefers she was, justifiably, pretty puzzled about why anyone would actively seek her out just to blow her up during her "tutorial livestream". Yeah "it's called Dangerous" yadda yadda. Whatever kids, that's a ridiculous response. Her spontaneous reaction to the gank is worth a thousand words TBH.
This is just to highlight that it's not just Ed's "boring" streams that get sniped. It's pretty much anything/anyone that can be sniped that gets sniped. Because "harvesting salt" is apparently fun.
Going back to the main topic then, I would not shed a tear if from now on the livestreams were to be simply Ed and a Dev sitting down, doing nothing but talking about how the game development is going (something that, in fact, has been promised before and that would be greatly appreciated) and answering questions from the audience. Then, when there's something major to show (like the one with the T.H.A.R.G.O.I.D.S. signal), you can show actual gameplay.
"Gotta be tired of mostly middle aged men acting like jackasses."
I fixed that for you

Jackassery is an affliction that seems present in all demographics ^^
Stream : easy prey + salt + visibilty. ganker agar substrate loaded with sugar IMO.
It's like putting bacteria in a petri dish and hoping they'll be nice enough to not multiply and kill themselves in their waste lol.
Yes you are right, harvesting salt is fun, maybe, just maybe, stop donating it by the masses and the harvest will instantly stop.
As long as there are donations, there will be a harvest.

"Stop being upset by the upsetting things I am doing to you, and I will stop doing them". Again, I have to state that PvP'ers like ALGOMATIC, and PvE'ers that prefer combat to have at least some form of in game context other than "harvesting salt", will simply never get along. Not saying either side is right or wrong, but just create Open PvE and be done with it

I also want for PVP combat to have at least some form of in game context as you said, but we dont have it right now, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In this particular case, Frontier does not run YouTube, so you're free to take and post all the video there you like, even name-and-shame and commit blasphemy and heresy at the same time, and there's nothing Frontier can do about that. But they can and will stop you from posting or linking it here.
I think a format change along the lines mentioned by previous posters would be a great idea.
I like Ed & his presenting style and enjoy hearing from dev's talking about the specifics of the content that they're responsible for (e.g. a bit of depth on missions). It's also enjoyable to hear from player groups and how they play the game.
All of these would be well served in a mix of the modes - for example teleporting about in a god mode version of solo to see planet textures, a bit of pg with some player groups and a spot of open for PVP combat episodes.
This would also highlight the unique mode utilisation that this game has to new people which, like it or not, keeps the game enjoyable to multiple player types.
