The main reason for that is, in my opinion, having multiple instances of one galaxy. I'm talking about solo/private/open modes. If we only had open for example, such events / changes / etc... may be possible, but due to the reason I've written above, I don't think it is possible. And I think it is the prime reason why the game is built like this, a restriction that trying to please different crowds at the same time have put on the game. I don't know. That's how I feel right now. Most of the stuff in the game is feels lifeless, aimless, and only there for posterity.

If we only had solo the problem (as you see it) wouldn't arise.

If FD drop a mode (which they won't do), they'll drop the least popular mode to keep as many paying customers as they can. According to most posters who want open to be the only mode, open is a dying wasteland with no players in it. So FD should close down open.

Or they could simply leave the three modes as they are.

You've made me have a fry up (with black pudding) which I enjoyed immensely. Have rep.

Yes, but I think I'm going to complain - it's not fair that this topic is always in open - we should get a private group and solo version of it :p

Will never happen because those that play in those mode are not trying to force people to play their way

Let me explain what I mean by static and dynamic first. Dynamic: you can actively contribute to something, and see the results immediately. Static: all contributions are logged, and the outcome is determined at a specific time, nothing changes in the meantime so to speak. In lame terms, this game is more like sync'd turn based game rather than a real time one.

A conflict zone for example, nothing changes as long as you are there. If you leave and you were the only one there, the instance is closed, and it is recreated when you get back there. It isn't the same battle anymore. Capital ships are there only for posterity, they're more of a stationary turret battery and nothing more.

Or powerplay. Everything we do is logged on an "excel sheet" or someting, and only matters at the end of the cycles. If a system is under heavy undermining, you don't see the security on alert in there.

There are more examples, but I'm going to cut it here. The main idea of the topic is, I don't think we'll ever get any events where you jump into a conflict zone and see one side is already tearing up the other, even if you are the first player there. We won't see any border skirmishes, or effects that last a very short time, or a battle suddenly changing direction, etc...

The main reason for that is, in my opinion, having multiple instances of one galaxy. I'm talking about solo/private/open modes. If we only had open for example, such events / changes / etc... may be possible, but due to the reason I've written above, I don't think it is possible.

you name some of the best things about the game, but you say that they are bad.

to take a line out of final fantasy 10 "why are you still here sir?"

I am somewhat displeased with people calling people cowards, I served 5 years for my country, many did much more and dealt with much, much worse than I ever did.

We have soldiers, fire fighters, police officers and a load more people here that risk their lifes on a daily basis (or have for others previously) getting called cowards by keyboard warriors, REALLY! :mad::mad::mad:, they can go forth and multiply.

I am going to a res for an hour, I need to loose some steam, it takes a lot to wind me up, it really does, but I have had enough about this scared pixel mode hiding rubbish, keyboard warrior macho crap.

Some people really need to get a grip, its a game something we bought to enjoy! not annoy others!

Inhale slowly, exhale slowly, and back in the room. Thank you, I appreciate invite, I will take you up on all of them if possible :) (is your in game name the same as forum name?), I will be playing in ten mins and add you if it is. I am happy to group with you, chat, drink etc (we need DLC, but I will be in the bar when we get it too for the drinking part ;)).

Thanks, I made a few friends here that I intend to meet up with soon, I feel a little deceived they did not mention that they were Imperial scum (although I remember the system they said they were in now), I should have guessed:(

Actually its no biggie, I just got allied with the wig wearing weirdo's last week and not doing PP I can go where I want.

If your in game name is not forum name PM me, happy to meet up in Mobius but if you play open it wont be for a while, I know there are nice players in open, its the forum ***** that make me antisocial. Well not the forum in general, you get me.

I made a post mate, I said what I felt needed saying, *Salute* to you too SSGT!, one of your posts was part of the reason too (well two, but I am sure you can guess the ones I mean)!

Now I am gonna ask something!, (I would personally like the Mods to add the word "coward" to the ban list), yes it really does annoy me that much!.

I would also ask that any player that has worked for the military, police, fire fighter or any other job where they risk their life for others, to call out anyone using the "coward" word, they tend to go quiet when you ask about their RL bravery.

Relax, Dave. No need to get riled up for CoD Extension. Captain Pizza Hut will always be Captain Pizza Hut. The more vile they behave, the more people steer away from them and what they stand for.
