Last night I tried the 2.4 open beta and was immediately interdicted by other players and enjoyed some really fun PvP... (and lost). Now I don't normally stick around to fight and risk the rebuy on my 500M+ Anaconda, but in this case I fought it out and was destroyed. It was fun because I didn't have to worry about the insurance cost but I got to try out my best ship against other highly engineered vessels. I am a casual player with only a few hours a week at best, so losing 30M on a rebuy is just too great a cost for me normally, I would never take the risk. I do play in open but if I get interdicted, and my shields start to fail I will high wake, even though I might have a chance of still winning if I fought it out.
What would be really fun is if we had a CQC arena that used our real ships, but that rebuys were free. I would really like to put up my engineered Anaconda against others. Couldn't fdev just use the Arena/CQC they have now but allow us to use our own ships? Call it "open/unlimited" class... now that would be fun!
