Hello,

Wondering if you would like concord to hold targets down which turn red, and let the players do the killing Bear. You dont get time to eject options will be turn off during the time you get touch by concord... Oops

If theyre red, you can hold them down yourself.

CONCORD is dispenser of law, not fast tackle.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Just image the other way Blink would sure make fun... shame we can't pay concord or some NPC force to hunt down people and kill them for you... concord makes a market for black book list, and you can pay concord to kill them with out them knowing it. Can be done any time or any were .

I think the idea would be to switch that around; Make CONCORD be the fast tackle, and let the players dispense the law. If such a change were make, would it be good? I see other things needed. Like concord neuting, jamming, and eventually applying DPS if there are no players around to do it.

Why? I mean who wants to pay a dumb old NPC group powered by nothing more than an 8 bit AI to do that when you could be smart and hire REAL PLAYERS to do it for you right now... The more ISK making jobs in EVE for real players the better.

People would still laugh at you for whoring on CONCORD killmails.

Sure. Let CONCORD only apply warp disruption but no DPS or other EWAR. Leave the Self-Destruct button active, but disable eject.

Sounds like a great plan. I'm sure it will have the exact effects you're looking for.

No, that would be terrible and completely against the idea of emergent gameplay and the sandbox concept of Eve. If you want someone dead, go and hunt them down yourself or hire a merc corp to do it for you. We need less NPC interaction and more player interaction.

As for the Concord being tackle, that idea has some merit, as it allows players to interact more. Seem's ok, but it is unlikely to ever get implemented.

Edit: Actually I just thought of a way that people could be trolled with this system. Don't kill them. Concord holds them indefinitely. That would inspire some tears I'm sure.

If you get a shot off before CONCORD pops them...then you can still shoot them while they are red P

Nice comedy thread. "I'm SO incredibly, unbelievably terrible at pvp, that I want invincible npcs to tackle, jam, scramble, and neut targets for me, so I can kill them without any hope of them shooting back at me, or running away."

Or you could go and do it yourself... oh wait, that would be :effort:

Sure, it would be neat if concord just permajams, webs, scrambles for a few minutes before execution, the theory behind this is they would be collecting evidence for your termination and in this time a beacon would go live and the target could be subject to mob justice

how about this, we give concord a gun that turns the ship they shoot at into a mining barge, and forces the pilot not to ever leave it until 500km3 of ore/ice are mined as a form of punishment for their actions.

there you go, i just fixed ganking.

all we need now is for someone from CCP to ever read this forum, and for gankers not to find a way to gank miners in mining barges.

hm...


Gardes II?


could some gang of superheroes attempt that glorious kill mail? a barge killed by barges.

I think that players should have to decide this is the kind of game they want to play.. maybe they could take missions, or "sign up" with concord to be part of the task force or something. I don't know..


Concord isn't fast tackle though! They are justice... umm depending on how you look at the word at least.

If they apply no dps at all, do they appear on the kill mail? If not, we could generate some stupid kill board of exhumer/barge getting many kills with drone and pretend high sec is fighting back gankers. This would "prove" miners can fight back so no further nerf to high-sec ganking are required. I mean if a miners can defend themselves, anyone can.
