Player Features and Ideas Discussion

In order to counteract the cancer that gnaws Highsec :

Background :
Highsec is invaded by a mafia group (Example : CODE alliance) who want to take control and imposing their laws and a Pizzo to the residents of this area.
Concord is the legitimate group that ensures the order and peace in this area.

Solution to counter this scourge :
Because some groups seek to crowd out Concord, give the possibility to Concord to declare wardec to corporations or alliances that are trying to take control of Highsec area.

In addition to stop the harassment that many players suffer in Highsec (and especially new players), this new feature will balance the gameplay by giving to Concord the opportunity to defend its territory.

And? This is well established gameplay that has been going on for years. You think CODE is bad? Talk with some of the market masters from 0.0 alliances. They have so much money that they can literally crash the markets on a whim... and profit from it.


No... CONCORD is not there to protect anyone. Their sole job is to make sure that open aggression comes at a cost... be it from War Declaration fees or ship loss (from suicide ganking).


Counter solution; declare war on these groups yourself and "enforce the peace" you believe high-sec to be so deserving of.

Hell... a lot of gankers are already below -5.0 security status. You can shoot then on sight if you want to without having to declare war at all.
And no... you will NOT become a "Suspect" if you do this. It will merely allow the person you are shooting to legally shoot back.


It is only "harassment" if...

- they single you out for a period of time (at least more than a day)
- despite your best efforts to avoid it (move one belt or system over is not "best effort")
- have nothing to gain from singling you out (if you are flying ships that can be profited from, you have no case)

And high-sec mechanically belongs to no one. It is merely a zone where the rules of aggression are stricter and often come with a cost.

Sounds like content. Create some of your own and fight back (with spaceships I mean, not in the forums).

Code is as much a legitimate group as concord.

counter them yourself.

Take a break in your backyard.
Some people just like highsec better, less bull**** politics, less sheeple.

Why would NPC meddling with player interaction be a good idea in any way? Empire standings are already silly as they are.

And on OP, I don't even...
So he basically asks CCP to moderate their game using NPCs as middlemen for some reason. Could as well go ahead and ask them to ban CODE. players, uhm, for reasons.

set concord timers to response time 1second , so nobody will be gankable as concord will instapop u even in 0.5

sorry guys, but who is CODE and what do they do?

TIL the word pizzo. if that's in fact something CODE does, they're going about it all wrong and should just scam.

The same as last time.. ignore it because the impact was minimal, the coverage was poor and limited to very specific zones.

A very very lousy work of interdiction that didn't reach a fraction of what high sec war dec groups already do, except by the surprise of a new element that was not expected by some large part of the population (That therefore was not scouting for these)

I think CONCORD only has sovereignty over a few (one?) systems - most of highsec is ruled (on paper) by the the Empires. But I am more curious, what form would this wardec take? I mean the faction police from the Empires are already in a "wardec" with low security status players as their navies follow around and attack outlaw players at the first opportunity. What more would this NPC wardec do and how would the NPCs decide which corporations to go after?

Also, harassment is against the EULA. If you think you are actually being harassed, you can file a petition (press F12) and a GM will help you out. Eve though is a competitive sandbox MMORPG, so you should expect other players to be able to influence your game play. This in itself is not considered harassment.
