EVE General Discussion

It would be greifer online.

However anybody training up to 4999 SP for cheap frigs and salvage and some BPOs for turrets could treat their hangars like FPS respawn points and have a good time.

Eventually, once the thrill of killing everything that moved for no reason wore off, it would become like nullsec. Everybody would spread out, and players would keep track of who's who, who's blue, who's not, and who's new. They will operate locally but roam globally.

Hence if there is ever a "no more concord" moment, it should be done in such a manner that players can log in and have a magical one time instant transport to any station anywhere permissible.

You see, all of this HTFU get rid of Concord crap overlooks the fact that most of nullsec is deserted if not low traffic, but remove concord and the empires become shooting galleries worse than nullsec. They don't tell you that, of course, because it's all about seeking in game e-peen for compensatory reasons. What they want is an orgy of killmails, and nothing more. .

Can Concord be removed from the game? Yes. If it's done right. The way it's suggested 99 percent of time is not doing it right. And if it's done with the greifer paradise approach of "OK, no more concord as of now. Kill all you want", you can expect mass quitting.

And it's not going to be because "awe wittle careabears can't handle it". It's going to be because people don't go out of their way to log into a game on their spare time to babysit aspergian losers.

i'd cancel my sub, because lawless space is incredibly unfun. Maybe in a vast, local and probeless galaxy where you have to actually hunt (like say, if eve were like BSG or Firefly) it could work, but not in a cramped game like eve.

Whether it is her or not, I will answer for CCP Seagulls benefit.

You will find that your actions have cost CCP a large amount of revenue as first all the carebears leave, followed soon after by a wave of gankers leaving the game when the realize the only players remaining will shoot back destroying their fun. With all that loss of REAL money revenue CCP management is going to be looking for scapegoats and people to pinkslip as they can no longer afford their services. My guess is that you CCP Seagull will be first in line on both fronts. Eve will still survive as a new lead will put things back the way they were are proceed to spam emails begging players to come back. Until another good space sandbox game comes out those players will come back.

This. Essentially you would be turning high sec into low sec. Well, the game already has low sec.

This is alot like suggestions for turning null sec into W-space by removing local, or turning w-space into null by allowing sov to be claimed. All these ideas have one flaw: The game already has that area, and if you like it, go play there.

Im split as to if sufficient players would remain for CCP to continue to keep the servers open.

When PvPers would have to mine and manufacture ammo and ships for themselves. It will be relatively safe though - in empty game.

It's called Null-sec....

Posting in the 1,000,000,000,000 thread about removing concord so I can kill easy noob's with impunity.

A good compromise would be that if Concord were removed, gates should be removed and all ships should be able to dial in a system to system warp.

If Concord was removed, the markets would have a very hard time functioning. Each corp would end up having its own market and having to defend its turf. Prices would fluctuate wildly. The Plex market would become in house in corp only. Most players would lose ships faster than they could earn isk to replace them. Jita would be no more. Trips to Jita to replace stuff you need would not happen. You would have to buy in house. If your corp did not have T2 production ability you would have no chance.
The flip slide if you had stuff to sell you would have to find a buyer in house for your stuff and its value would be determined by your buyers such that they are.

It would be the end of the solo player in eve. You would have to find a corp that operated when you wanted to play.

Also there would be no incentive to train any skills other than PVP warfare. Every player would have to have multiple toons to be viable.

1. Remove all CONCORD except for HS Empire's main/home regions, where faction police would replace CONCORD, but only near celestials (excluding moons/belts/sun)
2. Make all ships jump-capable, but with 50% less fuel usage for subcaps and decreased jump range, max 5LY with skills, or less than what black ops can do
3. Make subcaps able to jump to any system in range without needing a cyno, but still able to use a cyno
4. Make Highsec more like FW Lowsec except alliances pay for control. Keep HS Empire's main/home regions as their own

this would be cool

1. mass quittings

2. highseccers learn about providence. CVA and co. embark on a holy crusade hi-sec and re-establish order with huge kitchen sink/ drake fleets, their ranks swollen with the refugee hi-seccers. Aralis comes back and co-leads the campaign alongside EQ.

3. Much RPing is had. Amarr becomes the main trade hub in the game. Amarr officially victor. Provi is made HS by Ccp, shafting Provi-bloc hard.

Well, that's how it'd happen in the areas i live in :p
