It is due to hearing about things like that which keeps me from ever leaving solo play. (If group play was fewer clicks I would use it too)

Open is as boring as Solo 99% of the time. Going to popular places such as current CGs, current new events/sites , some engineers' bases increase your chance dramatically of meeting other players. It requires a slight change of mentality instead of maximizing cargo racks and/or jump range you should always consider defense and speed as this are the key features of your ship that will make the difference between rebuy screen and frustrated ganker.

Nothing personal, but I prefer to not have to deal with the ganker in the first place. Had one guy years ago now spawn camp me trying to get off the ground at Farseer, Inc. Dropped me to rebuy three times before I wised up and went to Solo.

Then he got mad about me ruining his fun.

Right now, I have enough problems getting a T9 to turn worth a rotted carp during interdict.

i was not even in my ship I was in my SRV checking out some guardian ruins. - how can it be fun? Then I saw his profile on here [redacted].... Only went into open as I was assuming i would only meet fun and engaging commanders as being 800 plus LY out of the bubble...

just so boring and selfish behaviour...

As I said - you need as though and as fast ship as possible. Having non/mediocre engineered build is receipt for rebuy screen. (even from NPCs - reminds me of my 1st rebuy on my Titan ... blown by a wing of 3 eagles in Borann)

There is nothing bad to use game modes as best as you can. For example if you have no engineering and want to visit Farseer - I strongly recommend Solo or PG.

But Open is not bad either, given you have a well tuned engineering build and knowledge how to deal with gankers ( not necessarily by fighting them)

This video summarize the knowledge you need to escape a ganker.

P.S.
Never ever ever try to avoid interdiction from a player unless you are in a ship that can do 200+m/s than your interdictor and/or having serious defenses. (And the later is advisable as some of the gankers use rubber banding to make you loose interdiction even if you submit immediately.)
In matter of fact submitting to NPC interdiction is usually faster escape than trying to steer a whale of a ship like type-9 .

Yuna SakashiroIt makes you think, is the gameplay I might get out of that build really worth that much grind? Probably not. I guess I'll play something else instead.

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only grind.

I'm also going through something of a slump with it again. Of course compared to you folks, I've hardly begun!

MiseriWow the Mining CG is already completed, I didnt even get a day off work to join in
No permit for me I guess

me either...wonder whats in there??

Wiki: "The Guardian Technology Brokers at Prospect's Deep and Bright Sentinel offer the Modified Gauss Cannon, Modified Plasma Charger, and Modified Shard Cannon. " Guess you'll have to wait till a next event, then.

Edit: Wait, the Sentinel was out at HIP-the-Disaster-Area or nearby, wasn't it? Guess it left the broker at home for the time being?

Yeah, Bright Sentinel and Heart of Taurus are space scrap now in Thargoid controlled system.

Right, so that broker moved shop, or perished along with the ship, or? I mean to me it's all academic.

Again it is your lack of knowledge and awareness that got you killed.

First of all learn what is bandwidth monitor (activated by ctrl + B on PC) and how to use it to determine if there are other players in your instance. Always consider other players hostile unless proven otherwise.

Then if you are on a relative popular surface site dismiss your ship as soon as you leave it. If your SRV got blown up - you will respawn in orbit on your ship.

Oh hey, another good tip. Wasn't aware of that, thanks.
