Sorry!
You are right, I wasn't looking for an answer. I was however trying to get others to look for it because in this and other threads there are some who (seem) to want to force others to play the game their way. People who think that they have exclusive rights to the BGS because they play in open and there are even some that think that other players are just there for their entertainment. I was kinda upset by that so I thought try and provoke people into thinking...
Give me an Open PvE (Co-op, CMDR on CMDR fire off) And that's where I'd play 100% of the time.
With you 100%, +1 CMDR

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
I think we need a new thread on this subject. It has not been thoroughly enough investigated.
Cheers Cmdr's
Hmmmmm..... You're a real comedian.
It's okay, you're not the only one. I think every forum user that's been here for over a week has asked that question at one point or another.

Please visit this thread for possible alternative since FD seems reluctant to create a separate PvE mode:

Wow! This just goes on and on doesn't it?
Do any of you think that the last 3 mega-threads, this one or any of the next will actually change anything?
If not, why are you having this never-ending entirely pointless argument? This is a genuine question. I wonder whether any of you think that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is anything other than crazy.

I believe there was an answer to your question several pages ago. I don't remember it verbatim, but I think it has to do with the fact that we enjoy debating the topic (I just read as I wouldn't be able to form a proper post in this thread regarding the subject despite myself also rooting for a PvE Open, which will never happen; but we can dream, can we not?). Or not and that's just how I perceive it. Regardless, I do believe a similar question was asked and answered several pages ago. Forgive me for not wanting to venture back "in there".
I spent a decent amount of time in this game, got the ships I wanted and then realised there is nothing end game that is remotely fun. And the only reason for this is that not enough people play open - the few times we did the game was amazing but 1hr every 20 is sad. People say - PVE, but the PvE in this game is abysmal, nothing has changed since Elite II. Same missions and mission structure, boring mindless task with little to no reward, and certainly nothing that I imagined. The only way to get a challenge is to fly a Viper and attack big ships, otherwise game is too easy..
Now that doesnt mean strictly PvP, but it certainly encompasses it. I had my ass kicked by other players plenty of times, and that was one of the reasons I wanted to keep playing, to get them back... and in some cases I did which was satisfying.
But when you spend 20hrs on your own in CZ's, or attacking deep in enemy territory and nothing happens its just disheartening. I've stopped playing as a result (i know I know, good riddance)
It's called work, and it can get slow at times.

sorry to hear you are unhappy with the game. (fingers crossed) big changes happening with the missions in 2.1, perhaps then you will get some enjoyment from the missions in the game...... Whilst generally i do not agree that the game is poor if you remove PvP from it, I do agree that there is a lot missing from the PvE side of things..... things which are bread and butter in most other flight / combat games.
things like meeting up with wings of ships to protect convoys (or attack convoys), random mayday adhoc missions from giant battleships (as seen in the early teaser video), sneaking up on diplomats / politicians and recording them or taking photos of them doing something shady, and if you get spotted then all hell breaks lose, ariel bombardment missions of ground targets or perhaps orbital platforms and of course passenger missions.
i am hoping some if not all of this is in store for us "soon".

Ok, that is actually a decent answer

Thanks for the answer. I might, if feeling brave at some point, try to hunt the post you refer to down but wading through this thread is a tad like trying to run uphill in boots filled with treacle with an anvil strapped to one's back.
I hope they go a lot further, I could imagine wars or battles on a decent scale where multi crew may come in handy, exactly protect convoys, stations, battleships, or the opposite take them out..
Look I got my moneys worth, have all the ships I like up to the Conda but just was left feeling frustrated because this game is so so so close.. yet end game just fails. By end game I mean you essentially have everything you want and dont have a need for money - .. I played Elite II for years and spent 1000's of hours, in this I relived my childhood but after just lost the drive to jump in. I'll be certain to come back to it, but not before they fix a few core mechanics...
Thought this was pertinant to this discussion. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...ite-dangerous-players-causing-a-rift-in-space
anyone TL DR? loljoking apart, did FD give an answer on all these question? there is a any new position about this topic?
Switched to open a while back in hopes of interesting player interaction, and today ran into my first player interdiction. Hailed the pilot, no response besides opening fire at me. Tried to at least dump some cargo to make him stop.
A short moment of silence, followed by "i m no prate im killer".
Ehhhh...

That sucks man. I don't think I've ever random-chanced an encounter with people like that. Most of the time its friendly banter after a near miss or a collision in a resource belt. The worst come from the big-ship griefers when you catch em with their pants down. I like to keep screenshots of those one-way conversations because the hatred and angst generated by taking down some kids big bad iClipper after catching him trying to dunk on a sidewinder or eagle are absolute gold.
Aw... that's unfortunate...
But what can you say, some people are so bored of the game and don't have things to do. Most legitimate pirates either left the game or are on hiatus because of the current status of the profession.
Try again when 2.1 comes out, it might fix some aspects to piracy to invite actual pirates back.
