The galaxy has always been shared between all players (well, until the Live / Legacy split, noting that players on PC can play in both) - it's a core feature of the game.
Well, I wasn't the one who asked which one would be canonical when divided.
Indeed - however dividing the galaxy would mean that the question would need to be answered nonetheless.
One would hope so, noting that there are still those who would seek to remove all effects of players in Solo and Private Groups from mode shared game features - to which the reasonable response would be to give them their own galaxy to affect in a dedicated "Open only" game mode, leaving the mode shared original alone for those who accept the game for what it is to enjoy.
But most of those seem to have vanished since my hiatus, propably to that other space sim we shall not name.
With this approach, you can add nothing new and not be surprised that the game is not popular. Why do what? Let it be as it is.
Many new features have been added to the game over the years - while the "all players affect mode shared features" has not changed - and Colonisation is just about to be added as a new feature....
Not only were new features added but old ones were remodeled, FSD (SCO) flight, PP2 ... No one is saying to remove single mode and PG, just need to remake the mode in a more correct and then many players will quit PG and single game themselves.
Indeed - more revisions to the game that did not change the relationship of game features and the modes.
In what way(s)?
It is, although it places few constraints on what players can choose to do, which will obviously create friction between players of different play-styles - hence the continued need for the block feature and the other two game modes.
I'm not a developer and can't estimate the need for these modes as I don't have complete statistics and base all my statements only on my own experience.
You seriously should, PVE PGs like Mobius are Open without PvP, lots of fun and way more enjoyable than solo.
As far as I know this can only be done through out-of-game mechanisms, I no like that kind of thing. Can it only be done in game?
Where is that button in the game? Can you send me instructions on how to do it in the game? A few years ago I wanted to join something so they demanded that I install some kind of Discord. I don't like that kind of thing. Everything about the game should be inside the game.
That's unrealistic. You can apply to join Mobius inside the game: it's just a PG and you click the button for a join request. But as it's a private group, the admins will only let you join if they know something about you in RL; you have to tell them a bit about yourself and give them assurances first. This is a RL conversation and could never be implemented inside the game.
But you're not really a powerplayer, you're just a module shopper.
I've had all the PP modules in large quantities in storage for about 5-6 years now, except for the Concorde.
