Are your downs interfering with your daily life ? Do you feel like you need help ? <| sep |> You make some good points . I ' m more of a lone wolf never been much of a joiner of groups . The whole guild thing turns me off completely . However I would like a little base to call my own . Part of the problem is that the economy in ED is completely unrealistic . If ED were real hardly any interplanetary trade would happen as most planets would have most resources . It ' s effectively a post scarcity galaxy like the Culture . The only stuff that would be traded would be rareartesian goods that couldn ' t be reproduced elsewhere . I don ' t think Solo mode should really affect PvP too much . Think of blockades of an area IRL . There are always ways round them a la Solo mode . Quick shower thought Scrap solo mode but don ' t differentiate between human and NPC ' s in the HUD , including the comms panel . Would this work or not ?
