Modes Reworking the game modes

If that is the case, why all the fuss over Solo and PG players then?
Wouldn't even be a speck the 40,000ish Mobius users and possibly a few thousand Solo players.
So this nonsense isn't needed, game modes are fine as the bulk are in open

Agreed. And when it comes to PVP for objectives. People opt into those modes intentionally because they are there. No rebuy, no risk none of that.
Its dumb. its unbalanced, and I cant even believe people stand up for it.
We should be fighting each other Algo, PVPers vs PVPers over an objective. Not PVEers vs PVEers. <~ look how stupid that is. PVEers vs PVEers.
But after being here for a little while. Most of these people just troll at this point. Lets just wash our hands of it. I promise Frontier has seen whats been going on over the past 5 years with different people coming in and saying the same thing. While a very small group of people fight against it.
Leave them here to dwell at this point.
Its not worth the hassle anymore.
Nothing wrong with PvE Vs PvE

You do realise you are claiming every single person out of 2 million who bought Elite is actively playing, right?
yes, nothing wrong, its a game. But at least separate these individuals from normal socialized players.
Ok even if only 50% are playing. 1mil - 100K leaves 900k spread out between open solo and small PGs. I would hyperbole and say open has 400k players and thats generous for the SOLO crowd. Still busier than mobius.
Plenty social pve players, nothing abnormal about them.
active playing? I dont think so. Hardly 10% i think.
Maybe the common sense would suggest that Solo is actually the busiest mode? Even though Open is statistically more likely to be used since it is listed at the top and (I believe) the selector defaults to that on opening that menu, I would not be surprised if Solo actually had the most regular users.
As I said elsewhere - If the demand for PvP is so strong, why don't you set up a PvP-exclusive Private Group - publicise it like mad and see if you can get anywhere near the 40K member limit. Let's see just how many are "up for" a mode where PvP combat is welcomed by all.
Time for the PvP proselytisers to put their money where their mouths are.
(If there are wider PvP-centric PGs already, I don't know - excuse my ignorance.

good thinking, but im strongly against dividing already divided huge portion of players through modes, separate groups. How long can you divide players when older game has less and less active players? In the end you realize you play with 5 people in whole galaxy.
also, open has one particular advantage, you can meet players and that player doesn't need to be registered in some group with rules (which i think most people hate to do, or dont know about it). Default game has own rules.
Reworking modes is needed thing. Even primitive solution like remove GROUP mode and make PVE mode (yes good bye Mobius) and disabled friendly fire/ fire to player in this mode. Remove OPEN mode and add PVP mode with huge description: ITS DANGEROUS YOU CAN DIE!. It would be nice!

That's called a cop-out. It is a challenge, PvP people's chance to show how popular the concept of unfettered PvP is to the player-base, see how many join.
Since you base those numbers on absolutely nothing, hyperbole to your hearth's content
sorry, but thats devs job to do something like that. They should make official tournament or something like that but not in default ships like CqC. See numbers then...

.... then it'd be trivial to determine when there were other CMDRs in the instance by monitoring network traffic / connections....
Plus the fact that, as a PEGI 7 game, it might be leave Frontier open to legal action from parents expecting their kids to be able to play a game without interacting with other players.
Why if REAL PvPers are interested in testing their skills against other players is a level playing field a bad idea?
There is a not insignificant fraction of the PvP playerbase that is not interested in a level playing field.

That is what Engineers 3.0 is. A level playing field. You have the same chance as everyone else. Go put in some time.
Even Sandro said this.
