How would you know? You spend all your time blocking people through your router...
Oh no I don't

I made that bet knowing I can honour it but I know I have more chance of winning the lottery in real life.
FD have said they are "making the game we want to play" from the start, I guess I am lucky as I like their game as I am sure many others do, I understand you might not.
I am sure their yearly accounts will show how much we like ED, they will be published soon and I expect them to show that FD have made enough from ED to keep working on it for many years to come, I bought the DLC up front with the Beta, I hope to see it in the next year so I expect they have a lot to do before we see any DLC.
If you "uninstalled and ignored just like 80% of our steam library" you only keep 20% of your games? you need to a bit more research mate.
To quote me (lol). Some people didn't researching the game before buying it, that's a problem with the buyer, not the game!
Ps
Steam is just a lot of hot air, its not cool lol.
As it is... all I can do is chuckle. Give it a few months for people to work out the most efficient strategies, and Powerplay will be dominated by coordinated solo activity. Because, FD, this is 2015. and people do have the Internet to communicate through. Just because they're playing in Solo mode doesn't mean they work alone.
u miss the thread that we ask to have exclussive power-chat for all the modes![]()
As much as I love the game, personally I'd probably walk away if any save separation was introduced. I like switching to suit my mood, and that mood is never hunting other players. I would have no interest at all in grinding out 2 separate commanders.
As a result, FD would lose a customer and open players lose another player. I dare say I wouldn't be alone. The only winner would be the next game I go out and spend £40 on.
Titanfall anyone? Evolve?.
This.
Hello everyone,
Been playing Efor some time, and enjoying the game so far.
Last week, with the release of PowerPlay, I really feel you guys are pouring everything into this game and working hard to improve the gaming experience for all of us.
I've never complained that much about how easy is to switch between open and solo without penalty: I am still not that wealthy in the game and so far I mostly played against NPC, still I always played OPEN because it suits better the feel of the galaxy you are creating.
But I feel that something must change in order to fully create the feeling of a living galaxy.
It's not fair that people who actually risk their ships in playing OPEN to prepare a system get surpassed by a Galactic Power made of players who just play SOLO.
Just check for instance the war of attrition currently ongoing in Cartoi between Lavigny-Duval and Aisling Duval supporters, but I bet there are similar examples for other powers.
My suggestion is simple: split the galaxy. You contribute in SOLO? Only the SOLO "galaxy" will be affected. You got to rank 3 playing only SOLO for Winters? If you switch to OPEN you will still have to pledge a power because it's another galaxy. The other way around for switching between OPEN and SOLO.
You already have to handle two galaxies: LIVE and BETA - make them three: LIVE, BETA and SOLO.
This way all the galaxies will still feel alive, but at least it will be fair for everyone playing the game.
Otherwise the only scenario possible will be the one described by Meritz, and this will really hurt this beautiful game.
Ciao!
1st open isnt something special....Isn't it coward to rely to forums to influence the galaxy, but don't have the guts to play OPEN?
Imagine if it was possible in World of Warcraft: you play SOLO in a battleground only against NPCs, but you influence a game where people are battling each other in PVE.
Does it seem fair to you?
EDIT: My post was a reply to fademist, and I meant PVP of course in my WoW example.
To be honest it's stupid to have a PVE galaxy which influence a PVP one. And this design flaw will generate a lot of problems, especially now that Powerplay is out.
Probably if you stop being selfish and get the head out of the ground you will see the reasoning behind my point. Even if this clashes with a promise made during kickstarter.

As I said: get your head out of the ground. This is an MMO, even if it's different from WoW - it's still an MMO. And you can't have MMO mechanics if players are allowed to just avoid PVP skirmishes.

Yes you can, as you can see here with ED.As I said: get your head out of the ground. This is an MMO, even if it's different from WoW - it's still an MMO. And you can't have MMO mechanics if players are allowed to just avoid PVP skirmishes.
Do you understand that having this switch-capability without consequences will harm ONLY the pilots playing OPEN?
Do you realise with new galaxy open would have less ppl than now?....
EDIT: You know, in the past they decided to not let women vote. Now politicians changed their minds. Do you complain because women right to vote wasn't advertised in the past?
Please suggest a way to improve the galaxy simulation without impacting only ONE GROUP of players. Because, as I quoted in my first post, the only future scenario I see is the one expressed by Meritz where the galaxy powers will be controlled by players PLAYING SOLO but as an OPEN GROUP, coordinating efforts with forums and such.
