Happy birthday, and enjoy your mild...
Would Guilds have got you a cake? Is that why you want them?

Sounds reasonable atac2; especially coming from me.
Although knowing human nature; my suspicion is PP players in the human occupied systems would not want to have their guilds in (only) the far reaches of the galaxy. So that could be quite a hurdle.
Maybe you need to join a Guild...
The Drunks of Sol - I'd be right at home with them!
Me too. I hear that Earth wine is excellent.
Unless youre a dedicated PvP in open and thats all you wish to do, I understand why ppl would be concerned about the gameplay modes and the population in open. But I play in open but im 1000's of ly's away from any population. And i'm sure im not the only one. Maybe the concern should be focused on getting more people to Elite Dangerous and improving/expanding the content to keep current Eliters happy and to attract more and new Eliters instead about worrying the differences of the modes.
Maybe if there was a more massive population who actually own and play the game, the more concentration in populated areas would be and less of a continual debate this will become.
Lets not forget the massive expanse that the galaxy is and that we may disappear into... Wasn't that the dream of this game anyways???

Maybe I'd better put my writing hat on and submit Drunks of Sol to Galnet lol
Don't forget to mention cake...
You can submit stuff to GalNet? What... fictional stuff? <grins>
u realise that guilds wont be excisted on ED right? not the way we know them atleast
I was just thinking, SJA has said that one of the things she will be teaching her minions to do is how to chase people down with pips to engines and boosting repeatedly. So i will have to ask, what will the civil discussions here be like when someone looses a ship in open to a player - they move to solo to avoid such things - but then an NPC does the same thing?

I'm not sure where you are going with this, many of us in solo/groups have lost ships to NPCs I would fathom some that were in open have too.
I am not so sure where i was going with that either, i guess the posts about people leaving to solo because of players killing them for no reason are getting to me.

Players killing other players "just because" may make the targets leave Open. NPCs doing the same may make players leave the game. It would not expect that it is in Frontier's best interests for NPCs to mimic all types of player behaviour.
That conversation has been had. We're mostly fine with it because the NPC didn't do it because they were bored or wanted to cause inconvenience to another person for laughs. Some players might not like it and that's why SJA is working hard to balance the range of NPC abilities. You are also assuming that it hasn't happened. Players die from NPCs all the time.

So your bitter against those who left instead of the ones who drive others away?

And how many "voices" do you think there would be if we were all forced in open? Are you an old enough member to be here when offline was dropped? if you think this thread is bitter then think again. This is a friendly chit chat compared to that, and given *most* of the offliners begrudgingly accepted it and did not gun for a refund because of the promises made by FD about solo, not only will you have those people on FDs back, but also the people like myself, who i suspect will be greater in number even than offline, who were not bothered about offline - other than the principle - but who care greatly about solo, groups and mode switching.
besides if your point is, too many people play in solo so drop solo, this is completely contrary to logic. you do NOT drop what you are claiming is the core game mode ( I actually do not know that it is ) in favour of the game mode which is allegedly "empty". You drop the empty mode and plough your resources into the popular one.
My god you have ignored all the posts already made. this have never been more apparently then now. no it WONT make even close to everyone happy and you have already been told why. YOU think it will make YOU and some of your fellow people happy but there are loads of us who have already explainied why this is not a good solution for us.
Clearly you think you know better than Frontier. That is fine, you are entitled to your opinion but dont kid yourself that everyone feels like you do!. I have neither the time or the energy for multiple CMDRS but at the same time it is a very important part fo the game that i want to play socially with friends, some of whom tend to play in solo, some in open, and some in private.
This is a core feature of the game as central to the game imo as 4 billion star systems, or ranking up to elite, or Thargoids (which i am aware are currently missing but ARE coming)
