Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Would it be possible for CCP to legitimize player "incursions"? Like the goonies (allegedly) occupying osmon...

Weaken CONCORD just enough for a very large spider tanked fleet to survive in Hi-sec indefinitely, at this point put a temporary CONCORD lp bounty on them and let em pillage away.

You could "deputize" players fighting the invading alliance with ships or ever-increasing damage/tank bonuses, incentivise the occupation with an additional tax/fees paid to the transgressing alliance.

I assume it could be min/maxed, farmed, and used for grief like anything else in EVE. Sounds like a lot of fun to me though.

It used to be possible to survive concord a long time ago before RR would get their attention. Then some corps would set up a disco apoc at a gate and just smartbomb everything coming through indefinitely or until they got bored. This probably had something to do with making concord a bit stronger.

Apparently you're unaware of what happened back when this was still possible.

Pretty much this. ^^

Back when CONCORD was tankable some pirate corps camped various chokepoint gates for days on end. The corp mOo was the most infamous.

Eventually the GMs had to get directly involved because everyone, even organized PvP fleets, passing through the gate was getting slaughtered. The GMs asked the campers to leave, were refused, and ended up teleporting the players to random parts of the game.
CONCORD was swiftly made into what it is now mere weeks later.


While it's an amusing thought, I don't think you want to see 10k cruisers and battleships all belonging to the CFC camping every gate leading to every trade hub.

Hmm... bring back m0o? ;)

You know, all things considered things have changed, I'm pretty sure organized fleets nowadays would be able to take out a camp...

...who am I kidding. As interesting as it would be, we'd probably see places like Uedama or Niarja nigh-on inaccessible to large freight boats.

(EDIT: For those unaware, m0o were so efficient they wound up teleported across the universe, I think each in a separate direction to break up their Mara blockade.)

Let CONCORD pin down offenders and then broadcast a public message and an OV beacon. Sounds like fun.

Omnipotent huh.

Can concord make a potato so hot they can't eat it?

"Bad thing" is subjective, and I am very aware that this used to be possible. I just don't understand why CCP destroyed such "emergent gameplay" when it could (still be) polished up and billed as a feature.

Steadily ramp up bonuses for and against them to make it impossible to keep going forever. So for a very loose example, 6 hours into the "occupation" of osmon goons are getting a large tax payout from every bounty and transaction in the constellation and every ibis that goes up against them is doing dreadnought DPS.

That example is far from a calculated display of how things should work, but I think "player incursions" have potential.

Because we, the players, are all bastards.

You know, I know it, we all know it.

It'd end very badly indeed.

I have issues with Concord.

It seems strange that no matter where in system I am - whatever I do can bring Concord instantly. However agents need us to deal with the NPC pirate infestations in High Sec.

Maybe Concord don't know about these sites. . . Now if I ninja loot but get carried away and accidently a mission runner. . . Then Concord would turn up. Deal with me but leave the nasty Angel people doing what they do.

I'm not suggesting - I wouldn't dare make a suggestion on these forums!! - but I'm not suggesting anything here. I just find Concord don't quite fit in with the univrse - they seem a little bit too much like an "artificial fix".
