The Open v Solo v Groups thread

There are lots of ways to troll people, other than straight gank. Thats one reason for block function.
Why so hardly against Open/Pve, fear of having not enough targets?
I've never used block. Never. And I'm open only. I take the risks because l know My ships well. I built em to withstand attacks from any source.
Remember even a fully fledged cutter g5 powerhouse will only last 30 seconds against a g5 fdl murder boat with a competent cmdr.
30 seconds is plenty of time to high wake. Cutters range easily outmatches a fdl so he will not pursue.
If your ganked
High wake!!

Elite is a combat game.
An exploration game
And other activities like mining, exobio hauling etc.
So my ideas will never see daylight because they fly in the face of current games architecture namely freedom of choice and action.
3 modes exist for all evenly. That's how it is.
My targets are gankers and wanted only. I've never killed a cmdr who wasn't wanted.
And yes...Open only would present more targets for "like minded" cmdrs who've chosen it, to take part. Makes perfect sense to me..

Perhaps difference is that I do not play this game as shoot'em up. I simply erase commanders who do not play with same ruleset out of existence.
If I have bounty, yes one is free to try and take it. If I have cargo, one is free to try and take it. If I am on somebody's turf notify me and I probably leave. Offer me no comms attack when I do not have a bounty on me, and I block attacker as a ganker. Make any troll stuff, and I block.
Perhaps for those few who do not play psycho serial killers?
My main reason for intense dislike for gank playstyle is its immersion breaking.
Even in what passes as anarchy systems those kind of peoples would be taken out pretty fast. As Elite's anarchies are mainly systems controlled by criminal syndicates. IRL crime syndicates have pretty low tolerance for "loose cannons" on their turf.
I thought the PvP community were trying to sell us on Open because there was no risk?
Why should folks be penalised for wanting to avoid idiots?
All this stuff about Solo easy mode is utter rubbish if you believe half of the PvPers when the only time gank groups are active is for CG stations.
I Fortified 5 systems this morning in Open for a laugh and never saw a soul so whats the difference between that and Solo other than avoiding the potential to meet a said muppet?

Agreed.
Isn't it broken.?
They (gankers) shouldn't have it so easy. Insta feds on em I say. But thats how it is in open cgs.
Like ax pilots in fights with goids, being ganked...bloody awful!
Needs sorting doesn't it?
If you don't want to be shot at stick to Solo. We ask for higher cut cos we take the risks fighting other cmdrs of the same ilk. Ganking is something else. Which really needs sorting.

With tens of thousands of systems, Open would still be Solo.
But most of the time this is not the case, its murder trolls vs cargo/PP haulers, wheres the extra risk in that for gankers?
Its nowt to do with Risk/Skill its all about avoiding some idiot with a parrot on his shoulder who wants to blow you up because he/she thinks their clever.
There is very rarely any true PvP because why? whats the point? What does me putting my fully engineered Vette Vs Yours achieve for either of us?

Not If we had cohesion.
A background story that bought us all together into places like cgs battle grounds of superpowers and capital ships etc, goid wars czs invasions on foot superpower hotspots list is endless.
Conflict.
Along with hardened haulers by their tens of thousands kriss crossing the bubble 24/7 keeping the gankers busy.
In character piracy smuggling all presents opportunities.
Content.
And universal tabbed comms. Icing on the cake.
