RenraikuJB ThreepwoodForced PvP is the only part of the game that really forces you to play the game how someone else wants you to play... hence there being ways to avoid it.
This is False, I have to gather and grind for materials to engineer my ships, in some cases that grind is hefty, if I was to play my way the grind would not be quite so time consuming on some materials rather than others of the same rarity. I am forced to do this in game. I also have to defend myself against unwanted Bounty hunting NPC's. In the early game this can be quite the ordeal if you are not yet ready for a fight against a more powerful opponent of you haven't had to run from anything before.
Your logic here is just silly. A commander is not forced to defend themselves against commanders unless they choose open, which clearly states they may encounter others commanders.
By choosing this option you are playing how you want, with the opportunity to encounter other commanders.
The point is that you aren't being forced by another player to grind... you're forcing yourself to grind... and, as for NPCs, the clue's in the name.
As for my "silly" logic... I said they can avoid PVP, not defend against it, which includes other game modes.

And it will never get boring, because once it gets too easy, I can upgrade the challenge by downgrading my ship to a slower one, with weaker shields etc. There will always be someone taking the bait.
