Today i testet the Open Mode with a Little Ship (Hauler) with 1 Cargo of Robotics (T-800 :P). Normal i Play in Mobius Group.

So, my First Contact:

> Interdicted me
> Sayed "Hi" to him - No Answer
> Second Ship dropped in
> Sayed "Uh a Friend, Hi to you" - No Answer
> Sayed "Want Cargo?" - No Answer
> First One Rammed me - Shields Down - 60% Hull
> Try so Ask "Bo Cargo? So Why y......"
> Second Rammed me
> Dead

So yes its Good we have Open - Private - Solo Mode.

- Solo Mode = Don`t know a bit Boring
- Private = Community Activity, Chat Active (9/10 Answer), Friendly, Helping each other.
- Open = No Chat (Tryed to Chat to other CMDR`s only 1 of 20 Answer), Psychopatic Rammer/killer, Laggs (Jumping Ships, Jumping Position etc...)

So yes my First Test is my Last Test in Open. Stay in private :)

Just a thought if you ever (or anyone else for that matter) want to try that again:

Post here or PM me on the Elite Forums. I would be more than happy to be a "hidden" escort. I am far from the best combat pilot but surprise can be half the battle.

My user name is the same on the Elite forums as well as being my Cmdr name.

Just a thought.

That was only a Test :) My Garage has a Multi-Role Anaconda (Trade, Escort [26ly Range empty] and CZ Fight) and a Vulture for RES Hunting (Anaconda is not so good in a Asteroid Field). The Hauler Ship was only a Test Ship. I expected to Die in Open so the Rebuy Cost was only 23k :)

But yes if you Play Open its better you have a "Hidden" Partner for Suprise Pirates or Psychopatics. Even the Rammer that killed me was in a 2 Wing.

I bet that 1 out of 10 that didnt answer didnt even see your chat. I wouldnt be one bit surprised if I didnt talk to someone because I didnt even notice it. If I dont talk to any of you,its not because I am antisocial but more like im blind as a bat at times when Im busy. I need like a phone call to get my attention. :)

They need a more pronounced method of notifying you about incoming chat messages. I never miss a comms call...
