Dysfunctional as a PvP game maybe, but then it's not a game where PvP is a required part of any game feature (except CQC, which is out of game).
To Solo Play Players: If You Could Disable PVP, Would You Play in Open Play Mode Instead?

PVP is required actually- BGS/Powerplay; all cmdr actions impact this (Straddles all modes). And Solo/PG severely hampers such. An open-only blockade and conflict is incredibly immersive in this game when the cmdr's involved play literally on the same field.
Lol, you obviously have no clue.
And lug those proper shields, hrp's, mrp's for tens of thousands of light years, just weighing down your ship, adding hundreds of jumps to your trek....
I can do all bgs and powerplay I want without any PVP
Did you somehow miss the irony of the explorer who doesn't want to do any engineering?

Competition through the BGS and Powerplay, CGs, etc. may offer indirect and asynchronous PvP - however we all signed up to that when we bought a game with three game modes where every player affects the shared galaxy.
In-the-same-instance PvP is not a required part of any game feature (except CQC, of course).
I'm greatly familiar with those of you who prefer to hide versus actually fight. Solo/PG cmdr inputs should have zero impact on BGS/powerplay.I can do all bgs and powerplay I want without any PVP
And this kills the immersion. Nothing quite as boring as fighting an enemy who can mechanically hide.

Maybe for those who prefer PvP - however they bought a game where no-one needs to play the way they want them to (and can't be forced to).

Well we all have our ideas what should be, and what not.
Ah yes, the ever unseen enemy. Awesome gameplay.
Ah salesman's hype.
What proportion of soloists do you think give a rat's behind about MMOs?
Well I don't exactly like engineering. But at least it is somewhat light burden for typical exploration ship.
An empty system during conflict is incredibly immersive. Great gameplay.
Thank god for the spirited few who will stick to open during such.
MY immersion is killed by a Ganker that attacks me for no comprehensible reason in this Scifi Roleplay game.
My immersion is killed by people flying in high sec system, and murdering people left&right without any consequences for them.
I've blown up a few unwitting people ignoring me in open during BGS conflicts. I'm sure from their perspective my reasons were incomprehensible as well.
