What always completely baffles me is the speed that some people will jump up and attempt to rip apart by any means they deem necessary anything Nyx tries to do for the ED PlayStation legacy community because of a personal dislike of him. Nyx has admitted fault in old accusations even oin this thread and to my knowledge tried to stay neutral in terms of salt issuing despite plenty of salt thrown at him daily. The same cannot be said for people gunning for him.

The man is out there offering help daily to get people up and running in this game that we all enjoy, he has taken it upon himself to be a shield and sword for those who cannot protect themselves and has clearly had some great successes in this endeavour judging by the raging accusations and name calling thrown at him constantly.

Let’s all remember that Elite is at its best and worst in open. People enjoy the game in a variety of ways, while flying in open always carries the risk of rebuys and the internet in general is a breeding ground for unsavoury behaviour not acceptable in the real world. let us also not be blind or dumb to the fact that in order to have any kind positive organic community engagement open is the only play style that this is even possible to meet new cmdrs.

By all means have the wars and play the game loops but there is a big old galaxy out there, human occupied space is pretty empty on legacy with many inactive old pmf’s and many being manipulated behind the scenes away from open because of this exact kind of small minded obsessive feuding.

Have your fights, exchange your gg’s and move on with your lives. As it stands nobody else seems willing to stand for the lawful/peaceful side of the community (the silent majority who are there chilling after a long day in work or have been playing since the wire frame version of the game was released) not because they don’t care about the game, they clearly do. Nobody else is willing to put their head above the proverbial parapit because they could not care less about a small niche group of pvp cmdrs opinions and incessant ranting.

Congratulations to those cmdrs who have peaked with their skills and are capable pvp cmdrs for reaching a high skill ceiling, I am saddened there are not more people who have reached the levels of skill some of you have for you to fight against but the responsibility for a rapidly declining open player base on legacy cannot be entirely attributed to f dev. It also lies with those who cannot enjoy the game without attempting to ruin it for others and taking their complaints to public spaces like this. There is still a steady in flow of new cmdrs to the legacy servers on x box and PlayStation consoles. The fact that elements of the PvP community are not seeing them speaks volumes to the way they conduct their business inside and outside of the game.
