You need to add more options, I clicked "played since beta" the next was "open, group or solo" I play solo now but beta & gamma open mainly. I closed the page, I was happy to fill in your survey but I closed the tab the moment it wouldn't correctly represent my play style.

To put it bluntly I think they are well behind schedule.
Hopefully the possible crime changes will improve things.

Me either.
4th server option, open only and can never change. It would have the most players haha cause most people want to show off their toys even if they are solo loyalists
There already is a PVE mode, sorry two PVE modes.
Hi Hero
Back on the coward thing again, OFC you have no idea who you are adding that "label" to, that really **** me off.
Call someone a coward because you think they are worried about losing virtual money, in a game fighting someone else's pixels.
Add your RL medals to your sig then we can talk about hero's & cowards, actually don't bother I wouldn't believe you. I doubt you would be using the word "coward" in the context of a game if you really knew what a real coward or hero was in RL.
You are a better man than me. I replied in kind.
I agree, I can lose my Asp 10 times right now, losing my ship is not the problem, fear is also not the reason I avoid open, its some of the people.
What's the problem?, well apart from a lot more traders going "OHHH we have a PVE mode, I never knew that, I will give it go" when they see it in the options menu.
Maybe we should refer to it as the "less sheep to hunt" button.
+1 I was going to highlight the bits I agreed with, then I realised it was every single word so I didn't bother.

And I started filling it in but it was too restrictive to be correct for me, if I did compete it I would be misrepresenting myself.

But it's one of those lies, damned lies and statistics moments (no offence to the survey OP -- they are doing interesting work):
You could say: "No need to spend dev resources on Open PvE as 66% of the population plays in Open"
You could also say: "No need spend dev resources on mining as 88% of the population have never mined"
Or "No need for Anaconda skins as 96% of players fly different ships"

The main telling thing from the survey is that the "open majority" is taken from the forum, reddit and steam not just the forum. You'll find the majority of solo/group players on the forum and the majority of open players on reddit (particularly the more pvp focused) .
The same could probably be said for the age ranges in polls taken on the forum. In my experience younger players aren't forum orientated any more and most use social media and reddit to discuss the game.
I personally believe the majority of players are playing in open but I also think a pve open flag could be good for the game and would actually bring more players in to open
And this goes around and around and around. At least there is a current data set to work with. It's remarkable that the 2/3 playing in open has remained consistent even as the number of respondents has gone up by a few thousand. I was really quite surprised that it neither went down or up by significant amounts throughout the day. And a sample size representing a significant percentage of active players (I do not use Reddit) who are engaged enough to use this forum or Reddit as an adjunct to the game is more valid than the last hundred threads I've read that complain about wanting something that imho is not going to happen any time soon.
This is one of those times when a survey is accurate with a few percentage points 19 times out of 20.
A super majority of people play open. End of story.

Once again an open mode PVE flag is a silly idea, it will not be good for the game at all. I know this because I have played PvP games with PvE flags and it simply does not work. Things tend to get complicated right away.

In case anyone is interested, "Fishing Was Good!!", caught 4 catfish, total weighing in at about 11Lbs." Great day at the lake.
As for you, "Gold Member" your silly survey, actually surveys less than .009% of the customer base if we assume only 400K copies of the game have been sold. Since I think were all pretty certian were actually pushing the heck out of 500K copies, I think its safe to assume the actual percentage is far less than .009% surveyed. In short, your surveys full of crap.
So lets cut thru the serious crap here! What difference does it make weather we PVE in "Mobius", or a Formal PVE mode? What's the bottom line here!
PS "Bigcheese", one more insult and I'm reporting you to the mods!!! That goes for anyone else here.

Don't even say that out loud man... If it wasn't for all the great cmdrs I've met in Mobius... It's a whole other game...
I really would like an official response.
Ouch... Glad I'm not on the receiving end of that one.
"Less sheep to hunt" button.
+7000 cmdrs wanting to play with each other, not against. Dependent on one civilian. I really can't see how FD can afford to ignore this thread.
FD?

Not sure why you are failing to get it. It's a pretty simple concept on how I like to play games.
If I play FIFA I play solo and have no interest playing against other players yet I still enjoy the game just as much.
If I play Bloodborne, I'm more than happy to team up with a friend.
I'll repeat once again, I have no interest in PvP and existing as a dot on the scanner just to make your playing experience more enjoyable.
Then congratulations. open has a large percentage of the ED population, I'm chuffed for you guys.
As you have the majority, now perhaps you'll leave people alone who don't want an open experience, and leave us to play happily in our Solo or PvE modes.
With the majority of players, your scanners must be jam packed with real CMD targets for you to interact with, so you really have no need for us to join an overcrowded world.
