Can't vote from my tablet (will do so later from my PC) but I vote no. A separate open PvE is not needed. Mobius fills that niche for the moment anyway. What is needed are the mechanics to more effectively drive PvP to where it should primarily be - combat zones, resource extraction sites etc, in addition to the interdiction mechanics of course (with appropriate consequences for criminals where required).

I agree with this but would add that PvP in civilised space outside of Res and CZs should be heavily punished by the game mechanics.
 
Well to promote PvP we need Security/Police/Military/Escort/Transporter roles. Add to that ReFuel, Breakdown Towage Recovery, Trade in outer space, etc.
 
I don' t want to discuss here just one fact:
In Mobius are 1,3% of the players organized. 98,7 % of the players are not reachable via Mobius.

I hope this counts not as discussion...otherwise shame on me.

.... but there is no reason that that 98.7% can't join Mobius if what they want is PvE.

I wonder if Fdev added Mobius as a 4th choice (Open, Group, Mobius, Solo) as the login how popular it would become & how empty open would be???
(I personally think that is why groups like Mobius are not advertised, FDev knows it would leave open void and full of the Yarrr! crowd). :)
 
No, you said;

"Merely suggesting they reward players who take extra risks. would not be the first time FD agreed with this. They had a competition that could only be done in Open Play."

The "extra risks" is rubbish, move 100Ly from the core systems and you're all on your own - same as Solo.
"FD agreed" with nothing you've said, your making a false claim there.

I've actually tried 3 times to get you to read what FD have said regarding the modes, and what FD actually want.
But you'd sooner just make these false claims about things FD didn't actually say or do.

Wish I knew, not seen a new idea since last December :p

"The "extra risks" is rubbish, move 100Ly from the core systems and you're all on your own "

That's fine if you want to hide out there. I enjoy playing in Open in the Core worlds, It makes the game much more exciting for me. Not rubbish at all, no need to be so condescending :)

"I've actually tried 3 times to get you to read what FD have said regarding the modes, and what FD actually want."

I know they consider ALL game modes equally valid. So do I. What are the "False Claims" I made? If I am wrong I will happily admit it, or clarify it as a matter of opinion. I am just saying, the FACT that FD made two Open Only competitions meant something.

Anyway, have a good night, chill out, no need feel insulted and all that when we are just chewing the fat about a game we all love. You play it your way, I will play it mine. They are both enabled and supported by FDEV, and we can be happy we got this amazing product for 35 quid. So Peace :D

Come on folks! PVE in Open...PVP in CQC! That's the number 3 option...click it...you know you want to. Show everyone how you really feel about people making you their content!

Remember. a friend of mine has this as a sig:

If you need another person in the internet to be your content...you have already lost!
 
<grins> Good luck!

I know... let's discuss about anything else. So it is ok to discuss about anything else just don't talk about ... you know what...

The weather here is quite nice. We have a warm and sunny day today.

Now it is a bit dark outside but I think that is normal as it is night at the moment.
 
I sense a merge coming up.

I think the last one was simply closed.

Sad panda...you are probably right...but it's kind of fun while it lasts!

Not sure I can agree...my mom's basement doesn't have a window...but it is real private!

Oh that was option 3? Because I couldn't understand what option 3 was supposed to mean...
I voted 1, because I play a lot of Mobius anyway.
 
.... but there is no reason that that 98.7% can't join Mobius if what they want is PvE.

If they knew about it and if Mobius has the time to manually click accept on each join request.

I love how you people ignore all of this.
An official PvE could be set up for auto join, for those who want it - and not force a single commander to sit for hours on the main menu clicking accept constantly.
Also relying on Mobius being forced into an unpaid GM role is bang out of order. A true PvE mode can have player damage to each other turned off - saving the need for a GM, paid or unpaid
