Hi all I decided to check this out after being somewhat disappointment in FDev's response on systems like Deciat. It seems that the only times I get interdicted in open is when I'm in some kind of trader vessel or explorer vessels with minimal weapons often something I just bought getting it taken to do some basic engineering on the power plant.
Anyways to make a long story short my only interactions with other players in open seems to be either no interaction at all or being griefed in some way or another when you go to the more high traffic systems. I guess the nature of how prevalent gankers are all pilots in open are on edge so no one eases up and you get a huge anti-social vibe quite frankly that feeling is driving me away from the game.
Well I'm glad to have found Mobius seems like I'm not the only one that feels the game is too empty to be played completely solo and too annoying to stay in open. Here's hoping to meet all you fellow commanders and if FDev ever reads this they can consider this affirmative action on saying +1 to not agreeing with their stance on open.
Fly safe CMDR's here's to seeing you all in the friendly skies.
