Modes Mode Feature Exclusivity...AKA..."Render unto Caesar..."

[Rhino Hammer]

can you share a video of a wing or a multicrew session in solo? thanks.

No. Multi crew wasn’t a feature when I bought the game and they both represent player interaction level which is the choice that the modes gave. You do know that Wings and multicrew are player interaction and not game content, right? I can explain it for you if you’d like.

I can’t speak for Jockey, but I bought this game because the modes were equal. I had a choice each day in how I wanted to play. PvP carries little interest for me in most games, yet I engage in it when the mods strikes me. I knew exactly what Elite was when I bought it (twice!). Now I’m at a point where I’ve invested a lot of money and time into this game that, for me, was one thing and now it’s turning into something else.

PP was NEVER about direct PvP for me. Because it’s never been required EVER. That is changing and that is the reason why I resist. And it’s why I know there are other, better solutions to shieldless haulers and 5c. But open only is the lowest effort. And unfortunately not the panacea. But for many it’s worth people like me putting the game away. So be it.

If you're that resistant to change, especially for the better, good luck to you!

If you are that resistance to ignore the flaw on the idea then I guess the forums should not be an input to FD.

No, I don't know. Please, do explain.

Ha and in SOLO mode you won't see any player nor NPC vessels around. You'll be just ALONE.

That.... Sounds like Heaven to me

Well, I guess that's my point. It's not a change for the better for me. Hence it being my opinion. And good luck to you too sir. However it all shakes out.

The modes are simply filters for level of player interaction. In solo, there is no player interaction. Hence why player wings and multi-crew would not be available. Also why some have asked for NPC wings and multi-crew as an added feature. One that could be available in other modes.

In PG, there is user selected player interaction. Hence why player wings and multi-crew between commanders belonging to the same group would be available.

In Open, there is user selected and non selected player interactions. Hence why player wings and multi-crew between consenting commanders would be available.

PP is game content that requires no other player interactions for individual participation. Hence, it has been available from the beginning across all modes.

Wings and multi-crew require multiplayer interactions for the game feature. PP does not require multiplayer interactions for that game content.

I hope this helps.
