Piracy back in the day was more of a state sponsored enterprise against nation states in a sense. So an Imperial Pirate would only really target a federation trader and vice versa. Or it could even be neighbouring systems vs certain neighbouring systems and your alliance to that systems ruling body could be the trigger. I'd be more inclined to cooperate with piracy in open mode if there was a charter of rules of conduct. In fact I'd be happy to see that even in group as long as it wasn't some random murderous affair.

Seeing that there sencible people to change the game modes I propose the following.

Do not change anything, everything is fine as this, but to make a thread if you do not want to change anything.

I really think that some people have closed minds and do not want to see reality.

The reality is that the game lacks gameplay, but the truth hurts.
Find your way.

I found I already do bounty hunting and trade as 90% of the players.
Also explore some parts of space, very funny.
I tried and did not like mining, offers nothing more than painite and waste of time.

I will not be hard but it's reality.
Less costly expansions and upgrades in the playability make better Elite and Dangerous.

They can keep the game modes but need to change the way they interact, to encourage contact with the players and potential danger in the game.

As the Russians that block stations. Very funny. Some people cry for it but for me it's fun.

No matter if they're 10 or 5 players for instance, meet a player in the middle of space can generate new forms of gameplay.

In my opinion the soloplay can exist but for what it is. "SOLO" PLAY "SOLO" "Alone," "no people" "NO CHANGES ON THE WORLD OF THE SPACE" "NO INTERNET ON YOUR SHIP" and less credit for being afraid.

Come brothers play together in this beautiful game. :) :)

Or is it they get merged because they didn't check the forum for the stickied threadnought? ;) This could become a Mobius strip... or would that be a cartoon about the struggles of a PvE group in a hostile would-be-pvp world? ;)

Usually some other thread has a few mentions about Open or Solo and BAM.. merged. So many topics devolve into "Well, if you played Solo that wouldn't happen" or "Well, if you didn't have it so easy in Solo you'd know how hard it can be".

Playing in modes other than Solo has nothing to do with fear, just as playing in Open has nothing (at all) to do with bravery - this is a video game.... :rolleyes:

All game modes on all platforms affect the same background simulation - this has been implemented exactly as Frontier stated it would in their Kickstarter pitch over two and a half years ago.

Frontier are also on record (very recently) as holding the view that all game modes are valid and equal.

I wanna play with people, just not with you.

Good for you.

What do I care? Think that affects me, I have 20 friends who play this game every day and play with them.

But do not get mad, They are only opinions.

I have no problems with you and anyone.

Im Problem with some things in the game.

We Should not take things so personally.

I understand the position of Frontier, but I think that if so the evolution of the game is affected.

I think Frontier need adjust this games modes becouse they affect the gameplay.
I think the community does more for the game that frontier.
 
We've lost Steve Law and Dabba for this very reason, 2 decent and fun forum members, walked away because the insults flow quite freely from people who should have had their accounts closed months ago.
I'm close to walking away from most threads too!

The guilds thread has done for me - too many word-weasels with agendas.

Nooooo - though I still haven't forgiven you for having an avatar - I thought we were buddies in the no avatar club but you abandoned me - I'm not sure I could take it if you disappeared too!

If you have no problems then why are you in this thread complaining?

Please not run away and continue writing what you think.

Leave your opinion is all we can do better at this game if you like it really.

I try to speak with respect and yet some people respond crying.

I no idea why, but it is inserbible.

Why are you asking for solo to change then ?

I try to speak with respect and yet some people respond crying.

Saying solo players are "afraid" ans calling out on "crying" isn't really my idea of respect.

I have no problems with the players, I have fun with everyone.

I have trouble with the game modes, not with people.

That part you do not understand ?.

Because all take it so personal ?.

This is rare.

<nods> Aye, there's hardly a pub left in my town that I know the name of now!

My old school pub changed names years ago when it got sold to a chain - now the chain has sold it off for flats even though it was functioning well still - just like another chain did with another local that was always busy.

Firkin bar stewards!
 
Yes I'd agree for myself certainly - I don't have problems with it.

But I can see why some do.

I think it's a fundamental issue - online anonymous gaming does allow people to ignore common courtesy that dictates they would behave towards strangers in RL.

If I'm in the park - a public shared space - having a kick around with mates or just taking a stroll someone I don't know isn't going to come up to me, demand I talk to them and throw a ball in my face and declare that I'm now playing dodgeball with them.

Yet if I'm in open - a public shared space albeit with an entry fee - some people think it's fine to come up to me, demand my attention and play the way they want to.

That would be fine in CQC arena - no-one could expect to go in there and not get attacked. But open is a shared playing area for all game styles some of which are totally incompatible - some people expect to do what they like to whoever they like whenever whereas others expect a similar set of unwritten rules that you find in everyday life.

It aint ever gonna work like this.
Some people are jerks on the Internet. I'm not going to argue that, it's very much true. That said, the game isn't supposed to be a friendly walk in the park, it's a game of dodgeball. The npcs try to hit you with dodgeballs all the time, they're just really bad at it.
