Like I said... a PvP centric brain crash... this is not the first time that people have tried to propose redesigning the game around a PvP centric standpoint and the overall proposal is the usual kitsch... @Robert Maynard is covering the fundamental issues with the overall proposal adequately enough. Never mind deep-sixing the whole proposal, it needs depositing in a black-hole instead where no-one can dig it up again.
General Several Suggestions for ELITE, long text

First off, not everybody has a human vs human condition. I'm sorry to hear thet you might.
Additionally, even if they did. Seal clubbing inexperienced players isn't what most would consider relaxing.
Finally. My point is: It's entirely boring, predictable and ingenuous to attend Community goals or Engineers in open when you know that you'll have to endure a gauntlet of players that think like you do. over and over and over again, ad nauseum. For you it may be relaxing, exciting, or whatever you get out of it. For the rest of us it's plain dull and a must to avoid.
If you must satisfy your need to be attacking other players, why not settle in a set of systems and become notorious as a glorious privateer. Instead of following the CGs around like a pack of jackals looking for easy prey.

And take something away from my game. NO. Unless you are willing to PAY all Console users to play in open. Until then NO.
Read My Signature carefully.
When the arguments go from logic to contempt for the person, the reason ceases to exist
Edit : When I read the first sentence, I stopped reading

You are right. I need to hold higher standards. Not that my contempt is any less, but when I write I shouldn't make it personal.
With that in mind I have removed a part of my previous post. Whether you read it or not is of little importance but I do respect the point you raised.
As others have said, definitely a NO to removing content from other modes, or giving additional rewards to Open. The mode you play in should be entirely up to you, with no special incentives or drawbacks.
And some of the proposals in the OP directly contradict the stated objective of encouraging Open play. Such as nerfing the Block function, which is there so that players DON'T have to quit Open to avoid a jerk. And while it would be nice if "community goals" (at least those not involving organised warfare) could "bring the community together", the reason so many do them in Solo or PG is because they tend to be infested with murderhobos. So making them Open-only is nuts, and nerfing Block and increasing the rebuy of Elite traders/explorers will kill them stone dead.
