it would be nice but not practical, Fdev im sure see the current Open mode as the default, they gave us Solo and PGs to have fun.

This is totes a humblebrag, but an issue with PvE Open would be the lack of challenge from NPCs.
As primarily a trader/smuggler it's extremely rare that NPCs provide any sort of challenge whatsoever. It's niche gameplay for sure (given what other people say here) but Open provides that additional challenge that I like.
Most of the time the risk is the same as Solo, until it very quickly isn't.
I wouldn't be against PvE Open as long as the was an appropriate challenge - not globally ofc

I disagree. I seldom play PvP and then I prefer smaller encounter.

The PvE challenge would be exactly the same as it is in the other three game modes. Noting that optional increased PvE challenge already exists in the game.
I mean it seems to be niche to play as a trader and want PvP interaction or opposition
If there no amendments to challenge in this hypothetical situation @Robert Maynard then if prefer that there's still Open as is. But I have some ideas about how that could be improved if you're interested?
Im not sure it would be any different from Mobius (that we have now).Maybe you're right...but I think with an Open PVE the fun would be even more...

There is no challenge in Open, unless you go near one of the ganker systems or a drop station in a CG, you could fly for days without seeing anyone.

I mean they provide no challenge in effective opposition to what I am trying to do - reach a station with cargo.
I've even won the NPC interdiction battle with NPCs in a T9.
Only other CMDRs provide any sort of challenge
Exactly
Perhaps in Open PVE it would be possible to encounter more pilots than in Mobius? And I meant that PVP should be prevented as a game mechanic, not just as an agreement between players. I'm also in Mobius, but I was once attacked and destroyed by a player for no reason. Anyway, that's just my opinion...
Have you tried CQC? It's only CMDRs there, and it's all challenge.
There's no cargo to deliver in CQC
But it's all challenge.
Apologies, what do you mean?
May be someone is not you, very simple.
As long as you can provide evidence the attackers account can be removed from the group.
