I think they should shut the rest of the forum down and only keep this thread open.

We don't all share a preference for PvP - so we don't have that in common either.
Stare at you >_>
I am new here.
There are two people looking to buy this game, lets say they are me and you.
I look and I see 'single player mode', I want that game. When I see MP or MMO, I think, not for me, but it has solo and I want that.
You see MP or MMO and you think, I want that game. You see it has a single player mode and you think, hmm, that's not for me.
We both come to the game with an idea of what it should be but the reality is we both come to the game with what it could be.
And because it has two different modes, it doubles the money it makes by appealing to two different types of people.
We have much more in common - each of us decided, immediately before playing the game, to select one of 3 little boxes...
The remainder we have in common is likely to be a shared pleasure in flying around in a pretend spaceship 'doing stuff'
Some of like to do stuff to engage other is ritual, chest-thumping (of something similar) combat to determine who has a bigger something, skillz, isn't it?
Others enjoy engaging with others and playing together - even occasionally blowing each other up, but not with malice, of course...
There are even some who decide their own company is preferred.
but each and every one of us has an equal effect on the BGS - so plenty in common, really!
We didn't did we?
So how can we - ever - play the same game Robert?
I Dietger play unrestricted a social game. Honestly out in open.
Open doesn't need "closing", nor does it need to be the "only" mode, "please assist me in finding targets to kill because I can't be bothered to go searching or traveling for them", and "I don't want to PvP so please hide all the scary people from my view"... people just need to remember that 1:1 scale galaxy means 1:1 scale.
You get to choose what mode you want to play in at login. Every. Single. Time.
Don't want to play with others at all? Choose Solo. Want to choose whom you play with? Choose Private Groups. Want to experience a random encounter with anyone who could be anyone? Choose Open.

Indeed - as has been the case since the very beginning.
Same as always - pick a game mode that is likely to suit ones play-style expectations for that session, and don't worry about what other players are doing.
Which game mode one chooses to play in has no bearing on honesty.
Scared. Cowardly. Abusers. Dishonest.

Might start a squadron with that tag.
It also works well for Ship’s Cats Are Desired.

Ich hoffe, Sie genießen weiterhin Ihr ehrliches Spiel, ohne zu bestürzt zu sein, dass andere das gleiche Spiel ohne Ihr gutes Selbst genießen könnten.
(I hope you continue to enjoy your honest game, without being too dismayed that others may be enjoying the same game without your good self in it.)
How glad I am to see you!
Sylveria!
You may excuse us battering still around the some old grounds. How are you? We are, still at it as you easily see.
Your right. The choices are ours.
But we can't help ourselfs!
You can help yourself just fine at the login screen... where you see three choices.
Would it really REALLY upset you if someone played in Open and blocked you?
Asking for a friend.

I wondered where everyone was when I was in Open earlier on, you were all on here. Bumped into some RP security and ended up winging up while rescuing whining passengers for an hour or so, one Cmdr collecting station debris and that was all. Off to the CGs next time, lets see whos around there.
CQC Hello, EDs PVP game
Well OK yes there is that too, I stand corrected. And it has its own special separate to the main game reasons some PVP players hate it too.
You and your factual maths. I spoke to everyone in my echo chamber of choice and they all agreed with non-maths, so there
Its Maximum Overdrive! Now that would be playing Elite: Dangerous. Or maybe a buzzer and flashing light go off 'Awooga Awooga! Theres a player just logged in to Solo. Awooga!'
