I think FD should get rid of the create thread button as people dont know how to search and end up wasting mods' time performing thread merges ...

Ha! Won't change my habits much, I'm just not fond of people; some times I'll play in Mobius, depending on a goal,..but I basically am Solo play.
That will never happen. There is a line in the sand with any game where it just becomes too hard to be enjoyable. Cross that line, and I won't be going to open with my hat out looking for help, but just uninstalling. Games are meant to be enjoyable, it is their very and sole reason for existence.

I know, don't have to like it - but I accept the MMO tag
You really do not know that much about SC do you?
Like the personal private servers (people you cannot see or interact with, unless they let you), or the "slider" to reduce PvP encounters and the same "instance island" set up.
SC really is not going to be all that different.
No one against a 2nd galaxy ? Hmmm ... pretty sure FD might be against it - something about double the cost of the back end system and the 'bottom line' springs to mind

Oh, I see what you are saying...
Must be (very problematic) to implement; or they would have, with all the squabbling in these threads....This is just the way FD wants it.

Not to mention having to come up with two completely different narratives in the unfolding of the background story as the simulation progresses, and partitioning that into 1st and 2nd galaxies - without one becoming more canon than the other, or the poor writers getting horribly mixed up half-way through
This is truly an impossibility.
That is why they dumped offline mode. They cannot support more than one copy of the galaxy. They have not designed the game to be run on more than one galaxy.
It would ultimately break the sandbox.

Piracy is legitimate E: D gameplay, but it is not supposed to be cushy.
A pirate's life is short, difficult and very unlikely to amount to anything. FD seemed to have modelled that quite accurately.

So... saying someone is being whiny is attacking but saying people are stupid and can't comprehend things isn't. My favorite was claiming that people were physically unable to comprehend. Oh and the comment about being in Mobius means you can't play by the rules. Interesting thought process you have there. What is EVEN more interesting is you've claimed over and over recently that you do not want to change the game and that people are attacking you and apparently you view comments made towards Open Only advocates to be directed towards you. So you claim you don't want the game changed but you considered yourself an advocate only person.. which want the game changed.

Your right Roybe...
But it wont change my play behavior; I basically play single player games.

Yup, problematic...
Please consult the Open vs Solo thread for more information regarding the debate.
edit- Looks like i am consulting the thread myself now!

Glad I'm not the only one who seen through the whole masked insults.
Calls us thick cheaters and wonders why we are not receptive towards him.
Also trying to figure out why, after saying I was in open (still am) no one has come to say hi from the pro-open crowd. Where is my welcoming party? Fireworks, BBQ, Orion Slave Girls.... oh, wait, drop the last one - wrong game
Here I am, in my T6 - all alone. Only 1 person has spoken to me, where is this wonderful place the open crowd keep talking about? - I get more interaction in the Mobius Group to be frank.
The changes I suggest aren't meant to. You can happily continue to play your Solo game...with the caveat that the AI is going to get stronger. A lot of the player base is playing in Private, to not only avoid ats, but to farm the game more efficiently. They are there because they are playing in CG's and PP and can farm NPC's in an uninterrupted manner...or trade without concern of interdiction or destruction because the AI is to easy to deal with. If the AI becomes stronger/better then the risk is equivalent and the choice to play is based on their true desires of interaction.

The background simulator can be run on a toaster.

If someone writing a couple paragraphs a day related to how the background simulation/pp is unfolding is a "Deal breaker" for you folks then I'm afraid you're simply grasping at straws.

Decided to quote it all afterall, just for fun
Is indeed more offensive than saying people lack reading comprehension, I didn't say anyone was stupid you can infer that all you like.
For example If i say, "That cat is black", and you reply, "Derath said that cat is a white elephant with pink ribbons", you lack reading comprehension. You and others frequently put words in my mouth about things I wasn't even talking about, then shouted at me as a group repeatedly about the things i didn't say, you lack reading comprehension is my way of saying you didn't read what I actually wrote, or you read it and didn't understand (that's the comprehension part).
I did indeed say a group of posters earlier were physically incapable of understanding my argument, because they were, I never said they had to agree with me, agreement doesn't = understanding, eventually the forum mod who was posting gave a reply that showed he did indeed understand, but disagreed, so I dropped it.
Mobius is indeed the exact sort of thing that can easily be used as a representative argument for open only, it allows the curating of members based on a fixed principle, that principle has to have some method of control which is why mobius works, whereas say an Ironman group would not.
Finally I don't view comments made towards open only to be directed at me, I view comments quoting me as being directed at me, the rest it depends if i've got anything to add to the discussion or not.
