well, its the main ship in eve that everyone see's and is like "I WANT ONE!" why not let players fly concord ships.
i mean without their dev hacks/ uber modules and stuff, just the hull's
and of course to balance out the requirements, make them to where, you would have to train all faction skills

EG, CONCORD frigate will require Amarr,Caldari,Gallente and Minimatar frigate to level 5
CONCORD Cruiser will require Amarr,Caldari,Gallente and Minimatar cruiser to level 5
and CONCORD Battleship will require Amarr,Caldari,Gallente and Minimatar Battleship to level 5
seeing as CONCORD is formed by combining the best of all 4 factions

and then there could be a new skill like CONCORD Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship, which will boost damage/tank or something, what do you guys think, such as why not (if you disagree), how many highs/mids/lows they should have (so their not exactly OP but give a bonus to longer term players), what bonuses it should get from each race

as for acquisition, well CONCORD LP

I would like to add Concord ships to my collection too, but what they would get as bonus to is in question. They would have to be "stripped of advanced technology" that gives Concord its edge. Or, have it require the four empires but recommend the Concord skill (for full capability, only available to captain rank Concord members).

That said, giving it secondary weapons might work (missiles and drones). Bonuses to shield and armor HP could too. You would end up with three effective bonuses like all other faction ships. It would be a blend of all the races.

We don't need more winmachines or ships added for the cool factor.

NO.

there would be a tiny bonus to the racial abilitys of each race, but instead of 5% bonus's it would be a 1% per level for the racial ones

and then there would be a concord bonus with something in the line of lock time i guess (would be an expensive gank ship but decent lock time) giving it about 2.5% per CONCORD level im thinking?

Mostly this, its not meant to be a "haha i got a concord ship, i win!" think more along the lines of pirate faction frigs/cruisers/battleships they have an advantage but at a high cost

Uhm he also clearly stated that they should be good, especially if you have everything maxed.

Sorry i just don't think this is a good idea, its the same as wanting Jove ships.. Its just not good for the game.

i think you miss understood, there would be an advantage simply because of cost wise, but that advantage would be bare minimal (like getting at most 5% more damage/tank then a T2 fitted faction battleship, when T2 fitted) and it will not have the full compliment of the NPC CONCORD ships such as insta locking, 8/8/8 highs/mids/lows so yeah its more like romvex said, its more of a visual aspect, that requires a high skill to train and by following the eve lore (which states that CONCORD was founded in cooperation of all factions as far as i remember) makes you train up the skills from all factions

The would have stats and slots in line with another faction ship in the game.

The Concord skill is already in the game but only available to GM/ISS/CCP. I thought everyone knew that.

You know it'd take a year just to sit in the battleship, right? And that doesn't even include the smaller concord ship skills, just the frig->cruiser->BS V for every race...(it'll be even longer once racial destroyers and battlecruiser skills come in).

Hell, I have over 60 million skillpoints, and it'd still take me another four months just to sit in the hull of one of these.
