Unlike his hands . <| sep |> I play open because that ' s how the game is meant to be played IMO . I ' ve never combat logged but then I ' ve never really had a fun encounter with a pirate . I mainly explore and occasionally trade so I ' m often out of the bubble and ignored when I ' m in it . It would be nice if the scales were adjusted enough that both combat loggers and griefers suffered in some way . If multiplayer games have taught me anything it ' s that humans are fucking psychopaths when given a bit of freedom and given a spaceship and zero enforced rules , they will murder their way to an orgasm because passing people off gets them hard . There should be a proper in game punishment though . Something properly lore related that was tough enough to deal with that it made senseless murder a real chore . Then fix combat logging by forcing loggers to play for extended periods in solo . If the crime and punishment system is fixed and you still can ' t stand the heat , definitely leave kitchen .
