Modes Why does PvP in open even exist ???

Let's not make elite dangerous .... elite safe

If attacked to win some you lose some, its fun and scary. Im always in open.

Just stay away from hot spots

Elite Dangerous as a game has never been safe, as a Title for Elite, Dangerous will stay I think.
 
Actually I'd argue that the players who do PvP give it meaning in game. But now you get an idea of how ridiculous the OP is.

PvP bounty hunting (Generally quite well paid if you're half cop) is also usable with the BGS so.

PvP has as much right to be in the game as any other playstyle. Sure some people can't stomach the illusion of being a badass space commander getting shattered in front of thier very eyes, but there is a good amount of players who enjoy the challenge.

PvP is something some players like to do, erefore it has a place in open. Don't like it? Go play solo/PG, Don't try to ruin the fun of others because you don't feel you can be competative. At the end of the day OP, thats what these posts are caused by.

That's the problem though, isn't it?

With players choosing freely to play in Open, we have the eternal struggle between Open play must be rewarded (somehow), while those that choose to avoid people are cheaters, non-competitive, etc. At the end of the day....this is the problem the OP seems to be pointing out. Not that PVP shouldn't exist...but it should have some reason to exist in the game, other than some epeen measuring tool.
 
You know, with all these complaints about PvP being broken and so on.
Frontier would be better off just making the whole game PvE.

After all, PvP does very little for the BGS, nothing for PP and CQC is about dead.
So the PvP experiment clearly failed for this game.

Lock out player to player damage and watch how busy Open suddenly gets.
Win / Win for those who want more people in Open, they'll get that and see a really busy Galaxy.
And those who avoid Open due to PvP would win as well.

Look at that, I fixed the game in a single post :D

You make it how you will. If you lack the creativity to make something out of PvP for yourself or your group, then you probably shouldn't be PvPing in the first place. At lease Zarek Null is doing something with PvP from the looks of the couple of threads he's putting up elsewhere in the forums
 
I'm surprised that you of all people come up with this nonsense, that usually only new and inexperienced players found an obvious logic in. The elder ones all know that it originally was related to the eponymous* combat rank, no more no less. It's a noobish comment, really. Meanwhile it's kinda established though, as with all rubbish on the world that is just repeated often enough. :p
Okay enough stroking your ego there. It's quite obvious that the Dangerous in Elite: Dangerous is referring to one of the ranks in the Pilot's Federation. He was being more tongue in cheek as far as I'm concerned, in reply to somebody else who's comment was far more idiotic in comparison if you ask me.

Pi that is what I was saying... look at to what I was replying to :p

I play solo mode but i dont see any problem to have instead of solo mode something like PvE open world. There is lots of people play solo or private group mod just for safety anyway, but if you play solo you cant even chat with others so PvE open will be nice instead of solo and private group. It will connect all PVE players. In terms of PvP ?. I dont like it in this game seems like joke to me and boring and what this bring for me is only fact, that someone can gank me while im doing mission with PvE fitted ship. This is not EVE online where PvP is everything (i was playing it 3 years).
 
I totally 100% want to have this discussion, so much so Im henceforth declaring a morotarium on gifs, hyperbole or sarcastic comments from myself throughout this thread, assuming the usual cowbag-ness doesnt occur.

Any of the usual players care to join me in this proposal?

Come now, you know this cowbag-ness WILL occur.
