Concord does not exist to protect you. It's there to punish you, if you don't stick to the rules.

That's what games are for really, aren't they?

No. If you want something like that make an intel channel like the rest of us. You should be ashamed of yourself.


It's not a reasonable idea. It's a request for less player driven content in a sandbox game over a need that is already being met by existing tools. It's a waste of developer time so that the carebears can once again have mommy CCP do everything for them instead of learning to play the game.


Already has been, multiple times. It doesn't matter what they give you. You'll never stop asking for more anyway.

No.

Not all of them even pretend to.

PS EVE isn't your whitebread commuter suburb. Hi-sec is maybe like LA during a summer heatwave after a particularly egregious incident of racial violence. The only difference is that the EVE police won't taser you for being a Brutor.

No. You can already see how many ships have been lost in a system via the in game map. There are chat channels in game that can be set up and used as intel channels.
EvE does not hold your hand in the way you seem to want it to. The tools are there to get the information you seek, have been for years.

As to harsher punishment, no. Even if they did increase it, it wouldn’t make any difference. Hulks would still blow up in high 1 month out of every year.

But it's too hard to make your macro monitor dotlan.

I think you will find they are freedom fighter fighting the evil ORE overlords

The proposed “Crimewatch” system should help with suicide ganking letting citizens becoming vigilante gunslingers! Hopefully, the quicker reflexes of the “VGs” verses Concord’s, will ruin the gankers attempt at harming innocent Miners. Ganking will become non-profitable as “VGs” would be “Pod Killing”.

But right now, Concord could be sitting in a Belt and when obvious suicide gankers (negative Sec Status, combat ship) come in, and they actually allow the ganker to begin his attack before responding.

This is akin to a police officer seeing a known criminal, for example say in a park, and “not stopping” them “for questioning” before the criminal commits an actual offense against an innocent citizen in the park. Concord could easily “Warp Scramble” the “suspect” upon arriving at the Belt (detaining). This would help in decreasing the response time by Concord.

Doesn’t stop a direct Warp-to-Target attack, but would help reduce the damage inflicted by appropriate response times by Concord.

Appropriate actions by Concord would not ruin EVE!

HighSec would still have lawbreakers, but it would give more meaning to the term “High Security”!

High Security should mean “High Security” not “Medium Security” or “Medium to High Security” “Security Today or No Security Tomorrow” or “what ever arbitrary meaning we want it to mean”!

Yeah, remember, EVE is all about risk vs. reward .... what a crock of bullsh**.

Miners:
Risk: ~150 - 200MM ships (easily days of mining or pve to buy) that cannot be protected, period (forget d-scan, local, tanking, aligning, logi's, cloaked defenders, or whatever other ridiculousness the gankers love to spout as possible countermeasures - no Hulk will withstand a half-assed alpha strike by the next gang of bored pvp-tards).

Gankers:
Risk: Zero ... they PLAN with 100% certainty to lose their (practically free by comparison) ships --> that's NOT risk in any way shape or form --> they are guaranteed a kill and salvage worth many times more than their ships .... it's more of a guaranteed income than mining.

Guaranteed success (as gankers have) is NOT good game design, period.


I don't advocate getting rid of ganking completely (else what would bored pvp-tards do?) ... but making them KOS to everyone for 24 hours, and announcing their presence in system across global comms channels would seem to fit better with overal game balance and fluff .... much better than Concord actually protecting them again after 15 mins.

itt: 100% risk of loss is not any risk of loss.

Also its completely impossible to fit a mining ship with increased EHP, presumably CONCORD prevents you undocking if you've equipped for anything but maximum ISK/hr. This is why no suicide gank in the history of eve has ever failed, making it a 'guaranteed kill and salvage'.
