So, here is my open letter about the Open with the Small Dingdong Crew to them and frontier.
They are griefers, gankers, … and search any obscure reason to legimate their actions. They talk it is a part of a game, now it is espacially to cure the heat meta. So the problem is: PvP is part of the game, but not to shoot instant traders and explorers without any reason. In real life you are then a murder and get in prison for a long time. In elite you get a small bounty for a few days. Casual players who are played long time for a middel trade ship or explore for weeks and get shoot by them and lose weeks of work or even worse find back in sidewinder. These Casual players are the Open. Most players to talk friendly, get spontaneously a wing or only tipe „greetings, cmdr“ are casual players. If the player get destroyed their work over weeks again and again, they become frustrated and swich to smaller private groups, solo or played anything else. In time griefers like the members of the Small Dingdong Crew are killing the Open. They don't care about it, because they go then to another game. But as a fan of elite, i care about it. I like to play in Open with a not already perfect combat ship and meet other commanders friendly or as a trader who give the pirate a few cannisters, so i won't get forced to play in smaller groups or solo because some griefers.
Why they cry now over heat meta and get „operation spicybois“ ? All real pvp-players don't use heat weapons because they want to have a fair fight. So not real a problem in pvp. They cry, because their combat fittet ships are not so strong anymore against a trader or multipurpose ship with heat weapons. The victims can fight back. They want to get heat weapons nerf, because their combat ships are stronger then a ship with cargo capacity or a discovery scanner. If you have a problem with heat:
The Solution of these ?
Easy one: reporte them and if are enough report's, frontier ban them into a private group with only other griefers for ? two ? Weeks.
Second, harder one and what i want to have: let it regulate by the community itself. There are enough players, who want to get them and show them what griefing means for the victim. We only need to find them. So please frontier install a hidden counter and if a player kill an other player raise it +1. Every two hour lower it -1. So a player can shoot every two ours an other player for normal bounty. If the counter is over ? 5 ? mark the player for all other player in open as „massmurder“ on galaxy map and in system. Killing a „massmurder“ don't raise the counter. The community will take it in her own hand.
Sry for my bad english, but i'm in rage.

- dont use overcharged power plant with bad heat efficency, use armoured
- use weapons with efficency/thermal vent instead only looking for dps
- don't get fastest, dirtiest drive, get a clean one with better heat load
