It has been said that your "Pilots License" covers the cost of ship fueling, maintenance, crew, and other mundane tasks us pilots don't care about. I would assume that your PLEX also makes a profit for CONCORD, allowing them to pay the crews for their ships.

That being said, I wonder why we need to pay our subscriptions lore-wise if we live in null or wormhole?

You know I just though of a horrible idea...

Why not pay 100 million a month to bribe Concord to show up instantly everytime someone tries to gank you?

See where this thinking leads.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

That is correct.

It is not protection, but actually Punishment Incorporated.

What do you think the NPC Corp tax is for?



The NPC corp.



I seem to remember that the dev blob covering the NPC tax talked about Corcord or something as where the fees were going to go. (Eve Fiction)

Maybe it was Stargate operations, its been awhile since that change.

Maybe some bored Pod Pilot can dig that up. P

If Concord was to be paid an extra tax, they would not provide more protection.
They would just squander it on Quafe and Exotic Dancers.

Yes I am an alt. I see no reason to make it easy for bullies and greifers

Let's make it so that you can spend ISK to let CONCORD look the other way if you shoot certain groups of people.


Never catch on.

I pay a district, regional and national tax for those services! That being said, technically some capsuleers do pay concord. Since concord is like the UN as it should be, by paying the 11% npc tax npc corp players are paying by proxy. It is the one man corps and so on that aren't paying for concord - they're a bunch of tax dodging freeloaders who get all the protection of concord without paying into the system at any level where concord is paid from. dang nammit!

edit: added a comma


So, if I want CONCORD support I should go back to the NPC corp? Seems like the exact opposite of what most people want... that being the ability to bribe CONCORD to not support player corps so they can be shot.
