Did someone say 'bacon'?
Well in open I usually manage to see who is attacking me, and fight back a bit, looks like in solo I got a head or rather powerplant shot the moment I showed up, so it looks way more dangerous?
doesn't seem solo related to me according to the video.
just because it never happened in open to you doesn't mean it's a solo thing.
looks like you spawned into an asteroid or something similar.
btw. NPC don't specifically target subsystems (so far). they just might hit them randomly while shooting you.
Well, apart from bacon.
Whilst I am a great lover of bacon myself, (it would be a part of every breakfast and some dinners if I could eat it every day) but there are a few vegetarians (and religions) that would not agree, that said I applaud your efforts to unite the planet, I think bacon rates higher than kittens, maybe slightly below world peace.
The good thing is the people that don't like bacon don't tell me I can't eat it, likewise I don't try to tell them how great it is and what they are missing, how their life would be better with bacon, I could always suggest they just try it, they might like it if they would just open their minds, I doubt my boss would appreciate it though, I guess HR would have something to say too.
Even people that like bacon disagree a little, I once asked how long my bacon sandwich was going to be (I have been going there years & know them all well, it was tongue in cheek, but I was the only one waiting at that time and it was taking a while), the manager said, "wont be long sir, it takes a little longer to cremate it". Cheeky sod, I guess he doesn't prefer his bacon well done, how very dare he.
Never log out in the actual field, vertical thrust a couple of km above it and it seems fine

well written...
but i don't care about bacon!
fact is, there is no eadible bread to be found anywhere as soon as i leave my country!
no, i mean bread. something you cut in slices and put things onto (and no, this doesn't incluse cucumbres).
but i think the concept of a loaf of bread that has to be cut and doesn't have to be put into a toaster afterwards got lost in history for most parts of the world
Edit: and a "sandwich" doesn't have anything to do with bread...
Edit2: This is what i'm talking about and what a bakery should look like

Nothing you haven't read before, well apart from a few rather witty comments that made me lol.
Still stuck at the pre-understanding stage, they haven't worked that out yet, you know "why don't you want to play with me, I am a nice guy" stage, once someone has posted a link to wiki to explain "empathy" we might move on a little but I think its going to take a little longer than usual this time.
Rofl, my rep button is broken again, Ziggy have some compassion, please sir, I will wake up the wife and then I will be in trouble!
Sorry I am washing my hair today, tomorrow ?, no sorry I have to revise for a blood test.
Now don't take offence, its not you personally (yet) but I don't like your park. I didn't get beaten up there I just saw a few people there I decided I didn't want to play with, even if they take my pocket money I have more I will be just fine, I am not scared of them, it is a virtual park not a real one.
PS
If you want to see anyone in the park making sure your router is set up correctly is better than any update, to use your analogy when the door opens there is no one there to invite to the park, you can't see them, you never met one yet. Please PM me your router make & model & the config settings, I might buy one "just in case" they change the way parks work. TYVM.
Of course they are, levelling up in the shadows of solo mode where we cant fight them, have you seen one yet?, getting their uber ships to come into open and grief us all, it will happen mark my words and when it does it will not be pretty.
Maybe we should all change our minds and agree to banning mode switching, that would stop the Thargoids getting cheap credits in solo then griefing us in open, lol lets troll the Thargoids, if we make them start again in open they might all quit ED
, See that I just saved the universe 
Reading the quotes Sandro said this...
Definition of "Consensus" : A general agreement.
There is no such general agreement, and alluding to a consensus would seem to be purposefully misleading. Previous comments do show PvP leanings and bias toward open play.
PvP is a plus, but there should be no need for PvP interaction, the game should stand on it's own.
No commander should be forced to play the role of victim in the open play (griefers paradise); and no commander should be have their participation in a community grind event marginalized, simply because they have chosen to not play in the same place as licensed adversarial thugs (adversely affecting the game experience of others..).
Other methods of making commanders play in open should be followed. Engaging players with compelling game content, not simply forcing a PvP survival environment on everyone because it's an easy option.

Lol, you sir are limiting your choice of bread to what you personally enjoy, try some of my favourite bread, you might enjoy it, in fact I insist.
Pah, you tried it before and didn't like it, in fact you hated it, what does that matter, try again I am sure you will like / not be allergic to it this time, trust me I like you, it will be fun, you will love it.

See I hope you now see the benefit of separating the modes..
Actually there is consensus...it's just that the consensus that has occurred broke people into two, diametrically opposed camps...neither of which will compromise on their stance. You have stated the split quite succinctly. Now, we need to see which way FDev decides to jump. This decision is quite simple to see now...do something to bring equivalence to the various modes, do nothing, or come up with some brilliant change that makes everyone happy. After that, everyone playing the game will decide what they think of the changes, or the lack thereof.

Well if the game continues to sell well then I can't see anything changing but if the player retention is poor then I would imagine they would do something...
That's pretty much the opposite of what consensus means.
Are you sure you understand what a consensus is? It's not being split into two groups with diametrically opposed views. Disagreement invalidates a consensus, by definition. I'm just saying...
Which way will they jump? Instead of this thug enabling survivalist ironman grindfest?
It would be good to see the game change to something more conducive to multi-player gaming, but that horse may have bolted
