I'm wondering why CONCORD is so consistent and boring. There should be interaction that more closely mirrors what we experience IRL. Shady cops, intimidation, and a general sense of unease even if you're not doing something inherently wrong. It would be nice if CONCORD wasn't just a static game mechanic, but something that you sometimes had to actually deal with. Would be interesting to see a blue target box and get 'pulled over' by the cops once in a while to actually check your sec status. i dunno.. what do ya think?

Are you proposing that low sec status pilots be able to run around without penalty unless an RNG random event magically parks them and checks their sec status?

No thanks.

How would this enhance the experience of those who can be bothered living where CONCORDS writ runs?

I play a game so I don't have to deal with RL crap, why do I want my game more like RL?

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

+1 to idea if it would be allowed to hire CONCORD as merc band.

And pay bribery to DED department.

-1 because of this.

Concord is perfect in their responses because they are not people they are a game mechanic and that is how it should be.

Why would they need to pull you over to check your sec status? Or even be in the same system as you?

Why would they pull you over when they already know who you are since you show up in their localisation system all the time unless you go in a whormhole? They know character X just got into system Y and his sec status is Z.

Yeah, but the game mechanic is so formulaic. I think there should be something added where there is actually an interaction between the NPCs and the players. Sometimes they just pull you over for a minute to give you ****, or sometimes they're faster responding to a crime. The way it works now, the npcs are basically window dressing and don't engage the players. If there were really people behind those massive ships ( which I'm definitely not advocating for ) they would act less like robots and be even a tad more random, and might even interact with the ships flying by.

Alls I'm saying is there's some content that could be pulled from these things. Might makes things more interesting.

Would be game breaking, unless they can be hired against anybody ...
... which would be game breaking as well, but hilarious!

It's not a good idea to have CONCORD do the job players should do.
