A high-engagement commander thread is focused on low participation in Open Play across Elite Dangerous. The original poster says they are not asking for Solo or Private Group modes to be removed, but for FDev to add incentives and systems that make Open Play more attractive. Suggestions include security ratings similar to EVE Online, where unprovoked attacks in safer areas would trigger immediate consequences. This remains a community discussion and request, not an announced Frontier change.
Anyone else think FDev should do something to encourage more people to play in open?
Commanders want stronger reasons to fly in Open Play.
