Second OPEN with separate BGS?

Not going to happen. How do you propose to reconcile different platforms? 2 different BGS copies/servers for each platform? Which server follows/represents the official lore of the ED universe?

Besides, as has already been discussed / explained ad nauseum, PvP is the bestest and fastest way to lose in any BGS contest. The only thing PvP during BGS contests adds is the thrill/satisfaction of blowing up an enemy (or trying to blow up) - which can be fantastic added fun value - but will never win you a BGS contest.

This is very depressing, when you are in a squadron trying to do BGS, but you fighting againts invisible enemies, because the opponent squadron plays in PG or solo. Our squadron got many members, but they don't play because they can't do PvP while doing BGS and that makes it extremly boring grind for them and for me as well. I'd like to ask FDEV for a true multiplayer experience with a separate OPEN with different BGS for us, PvP oriented squadrons, to settle in it. One of the problems making squadrons arent a big thing would be solved. You may make this by copying the current BGS situation, so the tremendous effort put into it won't get lost. Also, blocking players from instance should be eliminited in it as well or make it block only from sending messages to you.
You do know that you guys are just as invisible as they are.

The BGS is not a PvP game. PvP is not effective when playing with the BGS, PvE is.

The BGS is perfectly fine as it is and needs to be left alone.

I don't see why it would be bad for every player to be in the same universe.
I expect that those who bought a game where in-the-same-instance PvP is entirely optional would have a different opinion.
Other games works like this very well.
Those other games have a different philosophy regarding player interaction - in this game it is not a required part of the game.

Good idea. also another one each for people on consoles since I can't instance with them. oh, and those in different timezones... about 30 galaxies sounds fair. Mine is of course the real one.
