You do know the second option already exist right? There is next to no pvp content in the game right now, people go out of their way to stream on twitch to try and draw someone out to fight them.
There is a huge blue bubble in which u can play this game in utter safety.
I don't understand why people insist on extending it outside of that and imposing their preference on the rest of the player base, it is the same as if pvpers wanted the safezone removed entirely, just the positive/negative impact on the populations inverted.
This whole "I don't want pvp forced upon me" bs, you don't have it forced upon you, it is completely optional. You just stay in this huge safezone and you are golden.
I think the only legitimate concern might be those who want to explore in safety, so they want to go visit new solar systems and what have you. We'll have to see, but in my mind being an explorer means being in danger, personal opinion of course.
