Which is why I explore in a T-6
Besides, the view from the cockpit in a T-6 is great.
I need to get an explorer, I prefer my Scout's view over the T-6's though

Just adding my obligatory post to the thread now and intentionally, instead of it being merged in from some other thread reaching devolution-to-merge critical mass.
Game gots modes. People fite bout em till the end of time, in equal enough numbers to prevent any real consensus from ever forming. Game makers aren't even thinking about changing it. We keep it in here like a plague-fighting CG to protect the all rest of the threads from nasty growths of mode-arguing. <-(obligatory on-topic section of post)

My interest is piqued. Go on...
This is the official uniform of the Bacon Rats. No bacon? No problem! Our Leet pilots are here to help you!
Based out of Bacon City, Carnoeck and Bacon City, Nusakan (yes, there's 2!)

That would be stepping on the toes of The Fuel Rats (who provide an excellent service by all accounts) - maybe the "Bacon City Rollers"?

Fuel Rats and Bacon Cats?
And Fuel Rats are awesome from all I have heard. Just wish I knew about them when i started.. my first ship.. Self'd due to not realzing that planing a jump does not take into account your fuel load.

No toe stepping! A beloved homage to the noble knights of fueldom! We love the Fuel Rats; if we could deliver bacon to those heroes, we would!
This thread has been ham-bushed :/ We need to slingback on topic or the mods will smoke us!
Maybe a new commodity Bacon could be added as a rare
Ewww, rare bacon? It needs to be well done and crispy!
I dont say there shouldn't be a punishment for dying in this game, but the punish shoudln't be so high. I think loosong 3 hours of progress (sometimes more) is much for some players.
I mean, perhaps you could afford that one or two times, but since there the player can decide to jump to solo.
For example, i decided to play cgs always in solo mode because of that. I dont like to loose 3 hours of my game time for someone else fun (griefers or spicopaths for example, who respect the game mechanics but punish me too high).
I think a readjustment in insurance mechanics could solve this... "problem"?

Solo/Private Group turns PowerPlay into PowerlessPlay making it not even worth participating in.
Let's just call Solo/Private Group what it REALLY is: a Stealth Mode exploit.
I've seen it where folks drop into normal space when they see a CMDR is lining up to interdict them and then they exit the game to the menu and pop right into Solo mode and continue on into a station. I've dropped right onto their low wakes and they're gone - no high/low wake indicator at all. Over and over again. I'll chalk up some of that to some truly horrid network design decisions when it comes to the infamous "instancing" we all know about, but not every single one.
To quote a famous song: "Everybody wants to be a gangster until it's time to do gangster related activities."
NOTE: Yaffle decided to remove - and I can't believe I'm about to quote this in the English language - "masked swearing" when I was directly quoting from a SONG someone else wrote.
So don't blame me if the song is misquoted, blame Yaffle.

The risk vs reward argument is dead, you get reward for risks that are part of what you are being rewarded for, not for risks you choose to take before/after the fact.
The "split" solo/open argument was never alive, the killer is private groups as it would be lame to prevent someone from open joining a private group but it would be equally lame to prevent someone in a big private group joining open.
The real problem is that some people in open think
1. Their fun levels are being held back by people who dont want to play with them.
- The solution to this is to appear fun to play with, no wait, its not about everyone having fun its about the person in open who wants to shoot at everyone having fun, there is no solution to this one.
2. People run to solo to avoid them
- As a small child you should have learnt that acting like a jerk makes people not want to play with you, this applies to being an adult also.
3. People gain big ships in solo and join open to make them feel small
- Grow up, its a game and the idea is to have fun not have the biggest ship.
Do I playin open? No, why? Mostly because the "open" community I see on this forum come across as elitest jerks and not in a good way.
