So why the negative views about people who explode other player's ships in open? They also play the game as intended and more importantly play within the rules set out by FDev.
As somebody who likes to play in open and recently found out that I really like to explode other players ships I would say:
Disclaimer: I mainly like to blow up ships that shoot back and there I have a good chance to get exploded too.

Actually, it does.
But then both the hammer and the screwdriver become weapons.If you were asked to classify a screwdriver, you'd call it a "tool". It isn't until a madman with a hammer charges you, you'll start to consider the more pointy and weapon like qualities of the thing..
Absolutely. A screwdriver is a tool. An eight inch piece of pointed metal with a handle could be a screwdriver or it could be a weapon. It all depends on how you employ it.If you were asked to classify a screwdriver, you'd call it a "tool"
I don't have negative views of all PvPers I take issue with a very specific type of PvPer.
I'm having trouble with this. You don't deny that a certain game mechanic allows players to engage in adversarial gameplay against one another, yet you've dug in against calling it PvP.
Also, using a screwdriver to poke someone's eyeball out very much makes it a weapon. Haven't you ever heard of improvisation?

The way the game is designed Open is a free for all which is why I'm not there. I may not like the way it is but I accept it because the gamedesign has give me a way to avoid the parts I don't like. If that hadn't been the case I wouldn't have bought the game.So long their actions are within the rules set out by FDev they play the game as intended. If you have a problem with that or feel they play outside the rules set out by FDev take it up with FDev.
You might actually be doing either, albeit unintentionally.I interact with a game I do not oppose or aid other players.
Just because it can be used as a weapon doesn't mean it is one.
Incorrect. Any item used as a weapon is a weapon. Doesn't matter if its a kitchen knife, baseball bat, motor vehicle, or ice pick. It depends on the context of its use.
Nope it makes it versatile. ;DWas painting the other day ...
after which I had to replace all the outlet and switch covers.
As usual, I could not for the life of me, find the damned screwdriver with which I removed them.
So, I used my pocket knife to put them back. The pointed tip isn't optimal, but it worked - and they don't have to be super tight.
Does that make my pocket knife a screwdriver?

Or fish.Even a banana. Do a google search on 'Defence against banana attack' if you don't believe me.
