Did you find anyone to pirate, or where they all trading in solo :-/
Every time I read this thread title I think of the movie American Pie. "this one time, in band camp...." 
OP later in his posts claims that he did not actually do what he said therefore I can only regard this post as a troll
No. I get interdicted and shot at in solo mode also. NPCs are CRAZY I tell ya!
Nope, nothing wrong there.
Have some + Rep
If you are the kind of person you appear to be, then you probably will feel better if you trade and Pirate in Open. Do whatever makes you happy though. Its just the switching between the two states mid-journey, mid-encounter, that is properly lame.

Why do you think that ?

There is no mid-encounter group switching - players require to log out of the game as the choice of game mode is made at the beginning of each play session.
A Dev said recently, something to the effect of, 'switching to another mode during combat was not what they envisioned or encouraged' and that they were looking into it.
@ Devs: If I misread what was said, please delete this post.
Mid-encounter stuff is another can of worms though, since it seems possible to alt tab out and kill the game mid fight to escape.
I stand corrected. I of course, refer to logging off from Open, then carrying on from your save point in Solo, as if nothing happened.
I suspect that you know that already Mr. Maynard?

Of course mid encounter process killing is a problem - however that problem is not specifically related to group switching - a player may simply kill the process and do something else until the attacker gets bored and leaves.

Then the problem is with being able to logout instantly by killing the process - not specifically with group switching as I said above.
Obvious reason is obvious. Just waiting for Frontier to see that it is obvious too.
remove possibility to switch in a combat. yes i am completly ok with that.
remove possibility to switch game mode for exemple in a station : no.
for me is a core feature, and many players like me want to keep possibility for switch the 3 mode with same cmrd and have same content and value, same univers.
but yes remove possibility to swith in combat, or another cheat like this : yes.
for me it's not the same topic. but if you read another post'dev, you can read for dev, same univers 3 mode, is actualy a core feature. and yes use this system for leave a combat is not attended.
but kill sidewinder pilot not skilled with python ? for me players in this category not better !
npc ia: dev said npc in future patch are more challenge but npc style take a look with rank & ship for not kill instant beginner. pvp pilot do same ? no . is reality
pvp with mature players yes. but in elite, and another game all know minority can destroy easy good thinks. and because this minority exist, yes i want keep my possibility to play solo when i want and play open when i want.
personaly i begin solo session after read in forum how some players lost 10H or more play. and i say : lol. i cannot lost 10H because one children have fun to insta kill me without reason. i not talk about piracy.

I agree.
it makes me laugh when they keep saying solo easy mode.
It Depends on what npc you encounter when under attack,as some can hit like a truck.also the devs can still adjust them as well.
Yet some pirate players have loads of them shields cells,i would class that as cheating more tbh but they don't complain about that.
I'm all for having to be in a station to switch modes or if you alt f4 while in combat you stay stranded for 10-15 more secs,just like if you log out in combat.
Gw 2 has it so if you log out in combat or alt f4. when you log back in you're dead.i would be all for that as well,but i must admit with elite the servers are unstable so that would not work well as elite you have more to lose from a server hic cup.
Also for the ppl who keep saying they chopped offline,yes they did but before the game was released.
This game have been released now with these three game modes,so i very much doubt that will change now as the game was officially released like that.
