There's a thread here on the forums which has been (along with it's c.10,000 post predecessors) been discussing this topic for quite some time: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=216887
yes since the beginning of the game design what I read.
but I still can not play the japanese kamikaz without frustration after my death (Except with the sidewinder course).
it's okay, I bend decisions made, I do not really have a choice.
and this does not prevent this game to be very good.

Nobody tells you, what you have to do.
We are just asking for better benefits for playing in open. If you play solo, this doesn't disturb you.
In this case YOU would be the one, telling us how to play and what to get for it

You have no idea how I play, you are just making assumptions to jump on the band wagon.
There is no reason why you or anyone else should get anything extra for playing in open.
This is the game, if you don't like it then ''Play another game'' and stop trying to change this game.
That is my equivalent to ''getgood'' after all this is about more fodder for PVP's, lets not fool ourselves here.
Please feel fee to make up in your own mind how I play so you can respond with your opinion based on how you think I play.
There already is a bonus to Open anyway.
Player interaction.
Not all bonuses are monetary.
Of course, some don't see that as a bonus, and rather as something to avoid like the plague... Lol

Not to forget the added bonus of the satisfaction and confirmation of just how good you are, when you manage to catch
and destroy that very dangerous unshielded unarmed trader. The one who reads the forum threads about open and thinks well maybe
they have a point so I'll give it a shot.
2 cents:
Open = a much greater risk in all tasks; especially CGs & Powerplay. CGs; on top of the much greater risk, also has the added frustration of getting only a fraction of your engagements (if combat CG) to actually count for you... Greater risk is literally less reward.
Most games do balance the greater risk with the bigger reward. I wounder what the chances would be to have at the very least, a greater reward for open play at CGs.
I can see an argument for people who don't have the connection or gear to play sufficiently in open having a valid point, but not, "I don't want the greater risk, so I won't get the reward, so I don't want you to have it either"... That one is just bullocks

There is also the players who do not want to play with others, who would if they had the option be playing offline.
Reading this forum and with some of the in game behaviour, admittedly a minority of players, I can't say I blame them.
Extra anything in open will not stop this sort of thing.

The other issue of course, is you can set your network up to play in Open, but never be instanced with anyone.
All the reward, with no risks.
