You’ve kind of got to go out of your way to get “griefed” tbh, I largely fly solo and short of the occasional unexpected gatecamp or gank (the latter means you were doing something too risky in something expensive and somebody did the math) the biggest issue is in finding decent matchups that don’t end in a cyno dropping 20 redeemers on you
Started EVE in like 2009, now I find it just ends up taking so much time to do anything. Never been into 1v1 PvP but do like small to medium groups, but that can take so much time to get and you might not even find anything.
So it ends up with you sitting there for ages with nothing going on, then When it does start to get interesting sorry gotta drop off to go to bed.
I think Anvil Empires might scratch a similar itch for me, while being a bit easier to drop in/out. Albion Online is one I tried too but barely even got into much PvP, maybe I should try again. I like cheap builds really, don’t want to grind for hours to lose it all in 1 go. Not sure how cheap you can reasonably go in AO.
Elite dangerous is a blast for a while. And it has vr.
I haven’t played since before you could go and walk around, but for what it is I loved it for a while.
Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle but it takes a long while to notice the lack of depth and it’s a blast to pop in your vr headset and some good country trucking music and just hop around the galaxy trading.
No flying though. I’m looking for airplanes in space and sometimes SC can scratch that itch but E:D is the better product.
Like you literally cannot “fly” your damn spaceship, you have to use a point and click interface (at least the last time I checked). I wish SC was a good product and I’ll be sad the day E:D goes offline but EVE is definitely not it for me.
edit: E:D is elite dangerous for people that don’t know what the fuck all these space dorks are talking about

Goddamn just come play EVE, we have crime, pretty ships, and hilarity
You have a sandbox for griefers. Nota chance in hell. Eve is not even remotely close to similar except it too grifts players
I mean in EVE, it’s the players that grift each other mostly. That’s why it’s called EvE, or Everyone vs Everyone

SC now has VR too
Yeah, but ED is a full game, not some decade old alpha scam that has no actual plan and is a living definition of scope creep and customer milking.
I really wanted to get into Store Citizen back in the early 2010s, but thankfully I clocked the grift early before I put any time or money into it.
