SOLO is silly... its like being in a PG on your own.
may as well just have PG and get rid of SOLO

each CMDR can make their own PG

After reaction to the cancellation of Offline mode, I doubt that Frontier would ever seriously consider removing Solo - plus the fact that console players without premium platform access are only permitted to play in Solo - so removing Solo would lock them out of the game entirely.

Then there's the fact that, as mentioned a PG with only one member is functionally equivalent to Solo, removing Solo would very likely be seen as a capricious decision by a not insignificant number of players.

Community goals pay peanuts, anyway.

The only reason I ever go is to see people, or the rare times there's a cool decal reward.

Or the fact we desperately need to increase Trit supply, particularly in Colonia.....

Is this today’s one? Great.

why would I go to a CG to get on a leaderboard that won't even tell people my name if I won when I could go there to spout memes in system chat instead

William J Smith · Sep 17, 2020

Have you ever tried a CG in open??

No?

Why not?

Too afraid you're not good enough?

Scared to lose your ship/cargo?

Well , without trying it in open, you'll just be a simple scared spacetrader that looks at open and whistfully wishes he tried it....

Buy a medium ship.... fit it with a a class 5A engineered drives along with heatsinks, ecm PDT etc etc, and go for it in open. sure you'll get shot down(perhaps) but avoiding the gankers, breaking their blockade, and finally out smarting the dumb...... err people to get to the station will get you going "YES I DID IT" more than a T9 in solo...

The real failure is not to try and fail, but to fail to try.

Sorry, there’s already 3 pages, I’m not going through that lot, anything about cats in it?

I've got a new favourite phrase: Go yolo or go solo.

This doesn't disrespect solo players. Its just showing there is choice. Sometimes i want yolo, sometimes solo.

What if you want a packet of Rolos?

You just have been pleased to see him and gave the wrong impression.

Yeah I think he was going for the door handle - certainly didn't expect what he found instead!

Yup. It's sugar and spice, and all things thrice...!

Sorry, lou, but no. Just a bunch of grumping about things that are already well grumped. Oh, and BH being himself, too. Love that guy.

edit: that sounds ironic. It’s not. Go BH go!

With this new CG rewards are given out by total % of goods transported. Anyone who wants to compete well... just go play solo. Makes sense to reward the player who puts in less effort more. gg this game..

Is this any different than it used to be... I’m asking because I haven’t played since CGs came back.

... or simply someone who finds PvP to be a tedious and repetitively predictable waste of their game time.
