Solo Mode

[Dokhan]

I know there might be a lot of care bears which will not agree with me. But in my opinion, this damn solo online mode slighty destroy the sense of multiplayer.
Reasons?
1. How hard it's to make a trading run if there are only npc's which interdict you? It's freaking easy to avoid this. The only threat of making trade runs is that u will crash your ship on station...
2. This mode hurting mostly pirates. There is almost no fun to pirate poor NPC's over and over again. And as i said in point 1, those players which makes trade runs mostly play in solo mode, so there is little chance to actualy attack them.
3. More players in multiplayer more fun, isnt it?
And what is your opinion about Solo mode?

both solo and switching are fine, they allow people to play the game the way they want to play it while still giving them the option of playing with others at a later date without having to start all over again.

for the record i'm currently trading in open 130 Ly away from Sol.

Solo mode is awesome.
Until they make auto npc Anocondapolice reinforcement protection....
Im playing the smart way
Took me too long to get this ship and I'm not losing it to some trigger happy angry peep who's just out to satisfy there own pilot skill ego.

Solo is the easiest way to find a landing spot, so I use iut for that rather than 10 minutes of "Docking Request Denied"

Knowing that there are ridiculously fitted players due to gamma, that interdict, masslock and instakill you, i'd rather wait until i can afford an ASP with good modules before i join open for my rare runs.

You buy me a copy of the game and I'll play however you want me to.

Until then how anyone plays is up to them.

Fun is an individual concept. Some have more fun in Solo, others in Open. Who are you to tell me that how I play is wrong?

Nobody has the right to demand how others play.

Edit: I do believe you shouldn't be able to swap between the two however.

If I buy you a copy of the game, will you actually play it how I tell you to play it? If I can get this down in writing, with your signature, I will buy you a copy of the game.

Forcing people to PvP that don't want to is not a good idea. You can't say that they should or would have more enjoyment if forced into open play when you know that's not the case. The only reason you would suggest this is because you want to pick on them because there aren't enough pilots for you to currently pick on. #sad

I will agree with you. They should add the "Single player" and "Multiplayer" options, not "Single player online" thing. This is wierdest thing i ever saw tbh...

Tough!

I think my reply is just about as reasonable as your post.

 

[Beetlebum]

I think there should be two completely seperate universes: One for the carebears and one for the skilled and brave gamers who want the real thing.

I don't want to play with people who got their better ship and weapons in easy mode. At least the players who fill the online world with life should be rewarded somehow.

You missed out Yosemite Sam

Solo mode Online - probably the most insane thing I´ve seen happen in a game for quite some time.

But it almost gets topped by leaving people with billions of credits born out of a massive server error, while claiming the game has any type of "player driven economy"

Interesting second post. Solo, private groups and open - along with switching between them - have formed part of the stated game design since the beginning of the Kickstarter, over two years ago.

Shocking lies

You started by insulting people so I stopped reading.

 

[Pete]

I play in the Mobius group mostly, I think I dropped into Open during a buggy period but that was it.
Now I'm exploring, I'm playing solo - but that isn't to avoid players (the chances of meeting one is tiny in any case), it's to enable 4K hi-res screenshots, which are only enabled in solo play.

Hey,

Great start, but you did not cover all bases. So, I'd like to add:



- Trading is OP

- Friendly fire

- The ASP is ugly

- SC is boring

- Flight model is not realistic

- Paintjobs are too expensive

- E: D is not an MMO

- I like bananas



Cheers,
