Modes [Suggestion] How to incentivise open play and make it relevant

LOL!
As long as there's a logical reason then why some players should be penalised more than necessary...
Why wouldn't they, when that's where the clear advantage is? The game basically rewards folks for taking the easier path, and slaps folks in the face when they expose themselves to greater risk... Does that makes sense?
If a mechanic could try and even it up a bit?

The game rewards everyone the same for the same actions (taking into account that player choices will have consequences in relation to how many actions they may complete). That players don't all share the same play-style is obvious - as is the fact that Frontier accommodated different play-styles in the fundamental design of the game. Frontier clearly did not design the game to be dominated by direct PvP.

No one is penalized. People play in Open because they like playing in Open for whatever reason. That reason is their reward.
Am I penalized every time I get shot down by another player on my way to Jameson Memorial, or is that a consequence of my decision to do that in Open?

So you want a bonus over Solo, despite you getting Wings and Solo doesn't (they could have AI Wings, but no - it is reserved for Social players only)?
So you get help and support of other players and Solo pilots have to face the same risks alone - yet you're hard done by?
I can confirm that I tend to play week days Monday to Thursday 700am to Noon UK time and most places are very quiet even trade CG'S Both PG and open

not yet it doesn't have enough posts and pages
So your argument is that you do not like how the devs have defined PVP and how they reward players for playing PVP as the devs have defined it? Correct?

Well, it's not the thread you need faith in.
It's how much stamina does 90's have. He is the reason it's gone so far with 165 posts.
Though Robert the sneaky one, you slipped past me and dropped me to 3rd
I must stop going to sleep or spending time with my family, it's holding back my forum use

Hard done by because there's not enough targets with a heartbeat in Open.
I hereby claim post #1300
Problem being, in a game where you're suppose to be able to blaze your own trail, it's a bit of a shame where one game MODE rewarding you, means another penalises you.
Dominated? There's a few placeholder mechanics that just about prop PvP up... and that's about it...
I'd rather play with myself.
What? :O
No! Bad! [mad]
I shall just leave this here.

When ones play-style requires others to take part in it to be successful then it is entirely vulnerable to those others not wanting to take part in it.
It's a game where direct PvP is optional - whether that be PowerPlay, CGs, Factions, etc. - players can engage in the content with or without it. Which is a problem for those that want to be able to directly oppose others using an optional play-style..
