What would you exchange for immunity to concord?

One great idea for Incarna is NPC agents that spawn within player establishments

Perhaps upon entering an establishment within a system with an active incursion you notice a dark figure watching you from a corner. As he walks towards you, you notice the multiple head implants and metallic voice that clearly identifies him as an agent of Sansha.

He offers you an opportunity too good to refuse. Immunity from concord - for a price.

What price would you pay?

My idea - that is in keeping with Sansha's backstory - is that in exchange for immunity, the agent installs an implant that slowly drains skillpoints, transferring them to the Nation collective.

Would you do it?

Throw in a non draining sec status and I'd jump on that faster than Helmar could dream of screwing up Eve. Then I'd hop in an Ishkur and the Jedis would feel that one something fierce

Me? I'd trade where I live. Specifically, I'd move to nullsec, just so I would never be killed by CONCORD for firing at someone.

I want you to think about this for a minute. I've had this toon for 4 years now, it has nearly 70M SP exclusively in combat. I'm at a point where I train stuff I'll never use just because I've run out of useful stuff to train. I'm an outlaw, have been for years and don't plan to change that. And guess what else? I have absolutely no issue with massacring a hundred mission runners/miners a day if only I had the opportunity. And believe me, that 5 billion isk pve golem stands 0 chance of surviving an encounter with me.

You are offering me the chance to go on a rampage throughout high sec without getting killed by npc police. If you had your way, I'd kill hundreds of ships in a single day in high sec. I would not be alone in that either, virtually the entirety of low sec would join me in this. Within hours, high sec would be a barren wasteland with only the most isolated systems escaping the onslaught.

Eve would simply die after that. We'd drive out all the new players and many of the old ones too. Industry would shut down, ships, mods and even ammo would become scarce. Eve would suddenly look an awful lot like fallout 3 and it would continue that downward spiral until CCP went broke and shut down the servers.

The relative safety of high sec is a critically important region to the game. It shouldn't be totally safe of course, but a degree of safety must be preserved.

This sums it up.

However, I'd love to see Alliance P nerf reversed Pirate

Then either suggest a way to limit it. Or suggest your own 'deal with the devil' type arrangement. Keep it fun, and quit the boring old 'I've been here longer than you' pissing contest.

This would have been better if it was about immunity to the incursion for sansha supporters for the price of having to join a corp and being open to attack by all the other players. Naturally the incursion supporters could only attack people who had attacked the incursion.

Lol.

One thing to remember. It is a deal with the devil. He will grant you your dreams, you will have a lot of fun, but in the end he is coming for you and and all you hold dear.

Another idea.

Sansha has wormhole generating technology. You would like a shortcut to another system. What would you pay for a one time free passage to anywhere in the galaxy?

well if anything like this was considered i would see it as being an expansion to faction warfare, but instead of joining amarr or caldari you would join sansha and would have all the empire navies shoot you.
Of course to balance it out you would only be able to shoot FW pilots and empire navies without concord interference like FW is already

How about a guy offers you golden ammo from the NEX store and the price of it is whenever someone smashes that idea you have to defend it and say its smart to sell golden ammo for RL money and it makes the game better.

I dont have enough SP reserves to play with it so easily.

You can blow up one person in highsec without a CONCORD response. In exchange, the ship you are flying will be destroyed.

You can use this deal as many times as you want.
