I play mobius because and that is the place where i met most of CMDR's. My router settings are fine, it's just not many people are around in Open i guess. I will try elite groups forums after i finish my god damn finals :|

I hope so, sometimes its nice to inflict pain and misery on friends only
I guess we'll have to wait to see something from the XBOX release before knowing any more, but I'm guessing there's gonna be lobbies and being able to 'party up' with friends, and possibly private match as well - all the staples of your typical deathmatch multiplayer game.

Yuh can bash friends right now! Wing up an shoot 'em - no penalties

For me, I'd love to blow my friends out of the stars and taunt them about it, but in the main game, I am averse to doing this as I know it has big consequences for them (insurance) and myself (bounty) - so we tend not to do it. And I don't do it to other CMDRs either - for exactly the same reasons.
Currently, in the main game, the only 'safe' way to duel or deathmatch is to get some cheap ships (sideys) and head off to an anarchy system, meet up and then let battle commence. We've tried this, and it's a pain because when one gets blown up, it takes a long time to get back to the fighting area from the station we respawn into. CQC will hopefully allow us to have this pew-pew PvP fun in an environment more suited to that kind of gameplay.
I'll still play the main game as well, but for a different experience, equally enjoyable.
I dont want to PVP! I want to meet someone. Take a selfie, eat a burger, walk around, crash into asteroids, circle around eachother, whatever i can do! But there is almost nobody in Open

Did you say yaw? Yaw, for heavens sake man don't let Mike Evans see that!
Mods - clean up on aisle 3!
By "Descended" you obviously understand that this thread is valued at "less than" normal. I precisely said this megathread
. The fundamental problem with you merging threads into this one is that there is no public voice. The fundamentals of a forum allow topics of interest to maintain visibility and when one turns into a circular agreement, often other spinoff threads are born and sometimes supported by comments which bring them to the top.Killnetic said:
You are actively aiding in the [sic] destruction of all ideas regarding the obvious disagreement with E: D's solo and open play implementation that the forum posters are voicing.
I, however, want a poll because it spares us all of the pointless catharsis of this thread and will paint a very plain portrait of what the community actually wants. Unfortunately a poll needs people to be interested in addition to visibility but you have denied me of that and failed a community member as a community facilitator. The only way I know how to help this thread die is to not partake in it which is now impossible at least until after I leave this voice to be lost in this dead horse that will be beaten ad nauseam.

I have a simple question to solo/group players.
Why do you want to avoid open play so much?
Isn't it exciting you can be interdicted by somoone with real IQ than n stupid NPC's? Can't you find a way to avoid being killed, i.e. try a bit RPG with your opponents? Try to find a way to escpase from real trouble, other then switching into solo? Isn't it fun to mąkę friebds with other cmdr's try to organize and nich those Pirates?
Lately the biggest fun i get playing ED is pvp, and the best thing in it is not to kill Someone but jest to fight and win even IF win means to take opponents shiels down. IF a fight isin't unfair (fdv vs cobra) then it is always fun, even IF i am the one who is killed. Moreover 90% of my enemies have found the way to run away. Most od them had time to chat and noone was dissappointed.
give it a chance

What about interdictions by players who possess lower skill levels than NPCs? They have rights too.
I love it when people come into the forums and feel that their gameplay is so righteous that anyone not playing their way must be cheating. Oh Brothers!, Sisters!, I've seen the light! Forgive me my transgressions for not offering myself to the alter of pew pewiness!.
Have you verified on those you've seen where they are from? In Morbius we have them from all over.
We are talking nice here, and am sorry but you haven't made thoughtful suggestions, it's been more of a "This game sucks, it is going to die because everyone plays in solo not open" and when people disagree, many say they play in open, those comments are ignored and those that said they don't want to play in open because of pvp are zero'd in on and it is claimed "pvp hate".
And the award for Best Shakespearean Drama post goes to...Nedeaalex.
At no point did anyone say they wanted it only to be single player, just they didn't want to loose solo and they gave you good reasons why, but apparently that wasn't good enough. You have to go for the drama. And I could care less about StarCitizen, Don't Starve, EVE and other games. You spout drama and swear the game will be dead in 2 years, and also forget not everyone here bought the game through Steam. If it is going to be dead in your opinion, then find something else to play. Quit trying to FORCE the game to be dead by trying to get core mechanics of the game changed.

An excellent question!
Studying Religious Education?
Oi! This is a Solo cupboard! <grins>
<delivers 16t coffee to a remote outpost that hasn't seen other players for weeks>
Have you even read what i said ? First of all i believe this is the tenth time that i have to explain i dont want Solo removed, but separated from Open. Second of all i did come with suggestions when replying to Robert a few pages ago and from that suggestion it all combusted into this...

I've predominantly played Solo/Group simply because i want stress free play. However, started playing in open and having a good time. This doesn't mean sometimes i will pop into group or solo when i just want to chill.
Its nothing to do with being a coward (and by the way, you really shouldn't use that word, people get antsy over it), its to do with preferred mode of play.
