there is that group. its called open
Penalties for ganking on public server high security should be a lot higher, and greater.

Yeah, they do. And they now will more and more look to design and make content for Elite that courts that demographic of play style. Like Shark Cards became 'Pay to Grief', ARX will within a year, to try and make up for Odyssey's sales, be able to buy engineering, and other grind locked components. After that, OP weaponry, that will devolve Elite to a meta chase, as it is nerfed, and new OP gear is released.
Yea sorry that ain't going to happen.
You're trying to force open to follow rules of 1 group of players, while others who dislike you suggest to go PG.
So you should be consistent and that 1st group must go in pg too.
Open is for balanced play, which includes gankers possible lose. Personally I do by blocking them. That is my "kill strike". Because there is no other option to hit ganker hard.

THAT. Plus, let's be honest: it isn't THAT difficult to avoid destruction. Plan ahead, don't fly a wet-paper-ship, learn evasion techniques. Even the best PVP vessels cannot destroy a properly hardened ship with a single volley.So, if you weren't prepared to be blown up for no apparent reason (there doesn't need to be a reason, actually, "just becuse I can" is sufficient) why were you flying in open? It isn't 'special' unless you really do wish to meet anyone and everyone, and everyone included those who would happily blow up your ship because it was there. Then coming here to complain? Priceless
I'm NOT a good pilot, and even I have managed to avoid such attention. The only times I got destroyed were when I got flustered, or fought for the heck of it and decided I'd go down with my ship... and, yes, the last battle like that was FUN. I LEARNED something, to boot.
No, this is my rule.

Seriously, if we're at the "make stuff up because I'm angry" stage maybe it'd be better to shut down the thread now. This isn't helping anyone
Yeh, 1st 2 months I was flying open "where are everybody"Open is such a mad murder carnage feast I handed in 100 million in Explo/Exo data today without meeting anyone.
The horror
Tried to chat with anybody I saw time 2 time.Then learned gankers in hard way. Paid last I had for rebuy that time.

I have been ganked.
I have ganked.
Others never gank.
Who cares... this is the way.
Yes, yes it will. Or do you see any other revenue stream for Elite after Odyssey? Its a game, for profit, with dwindling player numbers, that made an investment in an expansion of two years work which over the first six months of it's release can't get more than 30% positive reviews on its largest distribution platform. FDev will not pull off a Hello Games, they wont take lessons learned. They'll take the shortest route to try and get in the black on Odyssey, they'll make it pay to win, to hope and attract a greater base of microtransactions over cosmetics.
Is your name David?
I'll ask Alexa to set a reminder for one year from now to see which one of us is right.
Spoiler: It'll be me.

What I say ...Imagine colony on Moon self sustained 100% which throws nuclear bombs down to Earth. So this colony is a ganker.
Earth cannot respond or self protect effective.
So I just don't like such design decisions.
What can I say.
Imagine a world where moon nuclear bombs earth and earth simply fits big prismatic planetary shields and shrugs off the attacks.
Or logs into solo or PG.

But, you can't offer the slightest reasoning why it would be, just snark.
FDev will do it, they'll take ARX pay to win. They'll likely figure they have to, after Elite's numbers are so low post Odyssey versus during the two year content draught they justified with Odyssey's development.
They had 6+ years to go that way, and never did. What proof do you have for your version?
so u started with "penatlies for ganking" and ended at "they'll take ARX pay to win"
GG
We will see in a years time what happens.
I'm not going to waste my time countering your arguments because I have better things to do and besides this thread came about because you're salty that someone killed your pixels and you've spent the entire thread in a trope-filled rage.
