Well, you're not a very good explorer if you're back already :p
Get back out there and tag some planets ;)

(Disclaimer: the above is in jest, I have tried exploration and it is way too much work for me)

Now we only need your definition of "lot".

I'd guess it is somewhere in the region of how many griefers are also in open ;)

Nearly.

We gotta lock this tonight and start Mk2 within the next 5 hours. :)

@Jorlin
My post was more a dig about how when non open players make a generalisation about open players, they shout that down as being "wrong" but it seems to be ok for them to do it about solo/group players... #doublestandards

If you need some fluff to hasten the end, I can do a bit of that - and that Hootmon fellow, he's moderately fluffy!

Found an old songquote from New Model Army for the end of this thread...

So bury the hatchet with a smile and a curse
The world is big enough for both of us
But oh, how that ing was fun while it lasted
Until I got to realize, no one really cared

;)

Edit: typo... keyboard getting unreliable...
Edit2: Ok... not a typo. The filter eats it.

10-15% of solo players go to open with the sole intention of looking for a fight.

maybe. count me in on that.
happened exactly two times since gamma for me... both times it was because of an agreement here on the forums.

Edit: and both times i stated before i'm playing solo... wasn't a hinderance, more the other way around. people are happy to get some fresh, unexperienced meat ;)

Source?
Or just made up stat?

And how do you know other people's "intent" - that would be a handy skill in a courtroom to determine Mens Rea

My goal for today is to get Mk2 going - it is my birthday present to myself ;)
Plus one of my daughters also has her birthday today - so well hyped right now :)

It would be nice if they let some information out.

Even if it was just basis % of the player base playing what modes. If open is more than solo and groups combined we could slay this demon forever and move on with our lives.

"slay the demon forever"? wishful thinking... ;)

I've said this once and I'll say it again, just to add another post for the 10k target: I play in all three modes.

Odd or what?

Plus I get really annoyed, when in open play, about all those others in instances that I can't see.

The paranoid me reckons that they are probably having a beach party, doing the limbo and generally having a better time than me hauling toxic waste.

Well they mentioned it again in the dev update on cheating so hopefully it will be tackled. I've got a few videos I need to upload to FD myself.

Yea I hope it will be take care of soon. If I understood the update tho, it will only work if you report it. Which means it will still be a problem at least until they get a warning message.

If I had some sources for it, I would be quoting it in a megacut like your choice one.

Good thing I'm not a lawyer and I dont have to prove my opinions beyond a reasonable doubt. If I ever become one, I'll let you know

Well pretty much everything is speculation. We have no way of knowing the open or solo player numbers, how many people switched to solo to do community goals, how many people play group (besides in mobius), how many are for or against any change. It's all just opinion and subjective.
