Your point was 2k+ DPS didn't existAll well and good on paper. But you won't hit the broadside of a type 10 with fixed frags on a cutter. Let alone defend against a wing of PvP gank mediums.
Never mind

Sadly, there are some in this august community who want all the socialization of open... provided that their ship is impervious to any and all potential harm from another player... while keeping the immersion... while closing exploits and strained game mechanics...Really? Allow me to enlighten you then.
Play in SOLO or GROUP.
There. Simple enough for ya?
While not dealing with any horseplay or tomfoolery from whippersnappers.Sadly, a great many in this august community want all the socialization of open... provided that their ship is invincible to any and all potential harm from another player... while keeping the immersion... while closing exploits and strained game mechanics...
Totally simple.
Most successful multi-player games manage to have a PvE option or server, so it can't be all that immersion-breaking. Immersion seems fine in Mobius already.Sadly, there are some in this august community who want all the socialization of open... provided that their ship is impervious to any and all potential harm from another player... while keeping the immersion... while closing exploits and strained game mechanics...

I think the opposition to it is really because most of us understand how popular it would be. Original-flavour Open would be almost drained. However, I also think it will happen eventually: it's the direction multi-player games go to boost profits.
Just like it's drained now or even more? /sMost successful multi-player games manage to have a PvE option or server, so it can't be all that immersion-breaking. Immersion seems fine in Mobius already.

Who knows....Just like it's drained now or even more? /s
You don't get to decide what mode I play in...But ED has an option for you, its called private group, or solo play, why cant you get that in your head?
You keep telling yourself that, whatever helps you sleep at night, fact still the same: Open is PvP, if you want to feel secure, go private or solo.

SCBs don't seem to constitute "max" defences - especially as there are munitions that stop their operation.
Point 1, not in any meaningful capacity for pvp. Point 2, lies.
My assumption is that most players know about the existence of Mobius, and yet most players choose to play in open (according to Sandro).Who knows....
If the ability to play co-operatively among an unlimited number of players was available without the social-penalty that is PvP then I'd expect that some of the players who currently play in Open might shift to an Open PvE mode.
(not that I expect an Open-PvE mode to be offered, for reasons well discussed in this thread).
Given that few players frequent the forums, I doubt it can be assumed that most players know about a series of PvE Private Groups that are not advertised on the launcher....My assumption is that most players know about the existence of Mobius, and yet most players choose to play in open (according to Sandro).
If aversion to non-consensual PvP is really so big as some loud individuals say, I would expect Mobius to have the biggest player base, but that's not the case.
I can only conclude that most players either don't mind the occasional non-consensual PvP because it rarely happens, or even like it because of the added thrill.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having equal rights and I would like to see the Open-PvE option, although I'd never use it. But I understand that there are more than 20,000 and less than 40,000 players that would like to see it happen, as they're now forced to be fragmented in multiple Mobius groups.
Because of this being said, I can expect that some would switch from Open-PvP to Open-PvE if such option would exist, but I don't believe it would be many.
