So another example of game mechanics trying (not very effectively) to cope with worse case scenarios with "one brush". Where as if the issues were split out, maybe with a Crime and Punishment system dedicated to mindless (illegal) destruction, that would leave other mechanics to react more appropriately to more situations?
Maybe but this was asked for by the community. ''Ask and ye shall recevie.''
People were complaining about cops dropping in but not attacking the ganker and even scanning the person getting attacked before scanning the ganker.

I wonder if having hatch-breaker limpets aboard (fired or not) might be able to make you a 'legitimate' pirate ..
.. at least in the eyes of the game / mechanics.
Would work until the gankers start adding a class 1 hatch breaker just to take advantage. Better solution would be to implement the declare piracy concept by Lateralus.

The thing is, accidental fire, piracy (non-destruction as should be promoted by the game surely?), and mindless ganking, are all being handled by the same response/mechanics. And we wonder why it doesn't fit.
Take mindless ganking/illegal CMDR destruction out to its own Crime and Punishment system... And then that leaves the other mechanics to worry about the other stuff.
eg: Let the FBI worry about serial killers... And other organisations about lesser issues.

And if someone shows up to a gun fight with a knife, who's fault is it when the knife-wielder winds up dead?
Open is a gunfight.
Ever see one of these?
Perhaps we need something like this when selecting Open:

Never said I wasn't a filthy robber.
But breaking the in-game laws against other players is allowed, and not going anywhere.
I'm not trying to say it's anything but. That's why I gave a very literal description of what I do.
Well you can be Chuck Norris in the open if you want to... BUT you need to be CHUCK NORRIS
I used to be a pirate like you, but i took an arrow in the knee... I mean people started combat logging on me, I've got [redacted] and started killing them all and then open pretty much died.
It was fun though... Sadly finding trade ship in open is really hard these days and if you interdict them they usually just combatlog.

Is it my fault? Despite the multiple opportunities I give him to comply & live? Sorry mate, I say it's the Hauler's fault for getting cocky.
*prepares for salt cannon*
Truth hurts, no?
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Un1k0rn again."
I would actually gladly meet Chuck Norris in Open.
Met him once in America's Army years ago.
His hand-eye coordination is not so great with mouse and keyboard.

But what's not to enjoy about being interdicted by one or more CMDRs at a CG to simply be immediately fired upon and destroyed, almost certainly for no in game reason/purpose?
What's not to enjoy about the fact they can in truth just do this over and over and over with the game all but turning a blind eye to it, not for a real reason, or a benefit to the over all game, but probably just because of ill-considered mechanics, or lack of development effort?
Why question if the game should actually hold such repeat (illegal) behaviour accountable so as to reign it in to less "toxic" levels, resulting in OPEN being some what more of an appealling/logical experience for more CMDRs?
