We definitely need some way to counter constant gankers, a way for players to place bounties on the gankers, then players who profession is bounty hunting can hunt these players down. Give us some way to fight back against them without acquiring bounties ourselves! If we fight back against the gankers, we get bounties and sometimes killed by the station, if we don't fight back we end up being killed by station somehow anyways. It is really game breaking when this happens, fueling these type of players and allowing them to get away with this type of behavior. I have notice this enough that I don't even go into open servers anymore, because they don't fight fair or play fairly, they abuse glitches or game mechanics to the point there is no use trying to fight back. My first experience was when I was a new player, I got blown up in the starter system... which left me completely confused and frustrated because I lost all progress immediately as soon as I left the station. Because of this, I put down elite dangerous and didn't play for a week because I felt cheated and useless until I figured out private and solo servers is the place to be. Meeting new commanders always scares me, something that should make me excited and happy to see another face...
I don't want to see another MMO game destroyed because of griefers who prey on those new players... it is pathetic and really drives them away. Open needs to be more fun and easier for players to make new friends, not drive those who do survive into self-imposed isolation.
