I don't even PVP. I just don't want to pay insurance. You are SO WRONG.

Ok. I'm really confused. You can always choose not to pay insurance, they'll just give you a sidey. If you want the delays, you can turn the game off and read a book for 10 hours and then come back?
Game isn't boring, have played almost nothing else since December, don't have an anaconda because I enjoy building my money up doing fun things like combat

I enjoy the thrill that I might be killed, but I know when to retreat and how to escape easily most of the time, I've died twice in the last 4 months, once due to my thrusters malfunctioned and I crashed and the other to a player

Im not exactly the best pilot out there, the last thing this game needs is more "dumbing" down for those not wanting to take risks, it's called Elite: Dangerous for a reason and it's not gonna change
Why not?
You say
Open play = risk = fun
So you want to increase the fun by increasing the risk by removing the risk?
This post is 100% non-factual. You also assume that NPCs cannot provide risk. Another false statement. I've been killed by NPCs a few times.
Then don't. Free sidewinder is always an option.
Why do you think that everyone else should have the same ideas of what IS & ISN'T fun as you do?
What's your problem?
Play the game as YOU want & let others play how THEY want!
I think OP wants Quake in space.... oh, wait a minute... CQC! OPs problem is resolved. /therad.
You mean the singleplayer game we all pledged for in the kickstarter with tacked on multiplayer support and which then got a DRM due to the world simulation not being able to function on not-online computers?
I would have liked that game.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Merged into the appropriate thread.
You're just sitting on your own capsuled viewpoint, looking for new targets to shoot at. OK, its fine.
But there are so many commanders who don't like being your target and therefore take their decisions. That's perfectly fine too.
My recommendation is go for Lave Cluster. Maybe there are the things you want.
But If you want me, you have to play seek and hide. I am in open and my last known position was 557 ly out of Satalanya.
Its a huge galaxy, you know. If you look at basic math you find 400000000000 stars for 1000000 = 40000 stars for each player...
Its cool.

Sounds to me like what you want is something more akin to CQC - something a little more arcade than sim. You don't want to pay insurance so it sounds like you are more interested in pew pew then you are in trading and exploration. Nothing wrong with that... you want action and don't want to have to engage in the more tedious activities in Elite: Dangerous that are required to build a hefty bank balance that allows you to not only own the ship you are flying but to pay the insurance when things go sideways.
CQC should go a long way toward creating the kind of environment you are looking for. Perhaps if enough players ask for it Frontier will release a CQC-type environment that utilizes the larger, more powerful ships instead of the smaller fighters used in the current CQC modes.
You do, of course, understand that many of us don't want to play this kind of game though, right? I like the game mechanics (insurance and all) just the way they are.
LOL, nope. Excluding back when i started, the new improved AI that came with 1.3 has made things trickier. I had to stop bounty hunting in my Orca because it became a lot harder to take down the better NPCs.
The Vulture of course makes things a lot easier, and while i jokingly call it god mode, I have almost died on a few occasions and on one occasion i did get greedy, stayed in a battle too long, and got killed. Was against two Deadly Anacondas in a wing though, so cut me some slack.
But the main thing you seem to be missing is different people have different levels of skill. Someone who isn't so great at combat will definitely find NPCs a challenge, especially the higher ranked ones. For them, that's enough. Against a competent player they would stand no chance. Having no chance against an opponent is not fun in case you haven't noticed.
I don't know anything about you personally, but just imagine you are a fat person who isn't very good at sports. Imagine you are with some friends and deciding what to play. You want to play Counterstrike, as you are really good at it. But all your friends say no, they want to play chase and you must play it with them.
So, within a minute, you have been caught, and now have to chase them. But you can't catch any of them, because you are too fat and unfit.
You decide you don't want to play that game anymore, but they say you must play their game. That playing chase is a great game and the best game to play. How can anyone not want to play it?
Do you see the analogy here?
