They don't. They don't do anything to gankers.
They do, however, hinder anyone else who might otherwise undock in something besides a shuttle or an interceptor. The suggestion is that, by removing facpo, you allow them to undock (and therefore die) in a larger variety of ships.
Vastly increasing the potential for player interaction in highsec.

Gallente FW gets chased by faction navies, not police. Facpo only go after people with -5 sec. And no, before you ask, the majority of players with bad sec are NOT gankers, far from it actually. |

People continues to want all spaces as null sec space. Some of these living in highsec do PVE activities mostly, so have a pvp fit when you do missions or transports is out of a question.
So you want MORE defendless targets to kill ummmm NO!

It seems to me that James315 is the player that the base loves to hate. I have seen several of his posts transcribed here from either TheMittani or minerbumping and they get the same general reaction from the line players: "I think James315 is a blowhard, but this is a good idea." The guy gets EvE.
Frankly, I enjoy reading his stuff. I forsee a highsec where fleets of reds jump freely between systems taunting the locals to bring their best. Surely there could be no complaint from the anti-gankers. This would also allow the lowsec goodfighters to venture back into highsec. I don't know how many of them would want to, but it doesn't seem right that what is essentially consensual pvp is punished so harshly by game mechanics.
Make it so number 1.

So? That is how it should be. Fix your standings, or get an alt to stage the ship you want to use. Or talk to the guys in FW who gank the Jita undock, and find out how they mitigate the faction navy/faction police aggro. There are ways around the faction navy.

The same? That's not how I remember it; so unless CCP changed it somewhere down the line, the Navy hunts opposing factions whereas the police hunts -2 to -5 security status (depending on system sec level).
The major difference being the facpo DOES warpscramble, whereas the navy does not. |

What if you could kill them with no standing loss (seriously, they are trying to kill you after all so you are just defending yourself) and their next spawn for you was just after X amount of time? Let's say 20 mins for example. Ganker would still just do all they can to completely avoid interaction with them right? |

An alert system was mentioned earlier and that is something we need to look at and adjust instead of just dismissing. Local and locator agents can and do fill a role in this, but they are lacking in several critical areas as well. Local only gives you information on who is in the system, and you need to have a character name for locators to be of any use.
Police everywhere have the ability to track suspects and wanted persons and that list is updated nearly instantly whenever new information is available. To replicate this in game and to facilitate the use of the current locator agents for hunting these so called "pirates" I suggest a game wide listing of all the characters with low sec status that are located in high sec. To be determined would be how is this list updated and how often, and how much detail should it give on location of the characters. My thoughts would be updates once every minute although that may not be practical from a server stand point, longer may be suggested but I would reject them since the combined time of this list update and the use of a locator agent would only give a system location for the pirate about once every 5 minutes which would be consistent with what is practical now.
As an alternative we could increase the update rate of the list to once every 5 minutes but give last known location as well, this may eliminate server load issues, gives the hunters the same information and still keeps the overall time to about the same level as we would get using the current locator agents. |

Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? First off we'd need to be able to engage targets in the -5 to -2 security status region, in the appropriate systems. Currently, the popo will annoy those players but other players legally cannot.
I'd rather see those players have an automatic suspect flag -- eg: if I enter Amarr with sec status -2.1, it'd be nice if players could "assist" the popo instead of getting CONCORDED for it.
Better yet, ditch the police and let players handle it.

So, someone continuously performs illegal activities in HS and there should be no punishment for that?
Sure, other players can shoot them down, but why would you try when there's 100 of them sitting on a gate waiting to pounce? As soon as you engage, you become a legal target for the entire fleet, so they don't even have to worry about concord at that point. Look, faction police may not do much to gankers, but they at least force them to stay on their toes and keep moving as opposed to camping the gate all day.
CODE has plenty of wardecs going on... If they were afraid of other players policing them, they wouldn't be undocking... Losing some extra destroyers isn't going to hurt their bottom line when they're getting 2 bil from freighter pi+Ķatas after losses are factored. Besides, the ones that need to be killed are the bumpers, looters, and guards which don't have - sec status..
The only good thing that comes out of this change is that I can run all kinds of missions and not have to worry about faction police blapping me when I go to other faction territory. Oh crap... I just found a fatal flaw... A positive outcome for carebears... Welp... Time to scrap this idea... You guys can't go around handing out positive outcomes to carebears; that's just not in your agenda... |

Hi All,
James 315's interesting and hopefully prophetic essay on the removal of the Facpo is now available and downloadable in audio format, over on SoundCloud.
I'd be very pleased to welcome you to my little corner of the site.

Welcome back Sasha.
Ironically, the conversation he's having with himself is a whine thread about the risks of being a criminal in HS, yet blame it on carebears.
Also, the last part of his comments, claiming that it would greatly increase subs, is entirely speculation and COMPLETELY IGNORES the fact that most people that are willing to play MMOs are aren't looking for higher risks that exist within Eve. If Eve were more like other MMOs where risk doesn't exist (I AM BY NO MEANS SUGGESTING THIS IS GOOD) the subs would likely be significantly greater. Though, we can agree that the game would be greatly dumbed down if this were the case.
What James 315 coincidentally doesn't mention is that there are VERY FEW people actually shooting at criminals, especially in places where it is needed, due to the abundance of criminals having allies within that system.
He's not looking to remove faction police because it's unfair; He's looking to remove faction police because he knows it's the only thing that truly stands between them and unlimited play, in which there is no such thing as punishment. No one is really shooting at them now, apart from faction police, thus he's wanting free reign over HS as a criminal.
Also, the factions are NPCs. Most games have some sort of punishment, provided by the NPCs, if you break the relative "laws" of those NPCs. They are not being punished for performing illegal activities against other players, they're being punished for performing illegal activities in general. Go shoot as some NPCs at gates or stations and your standings will likely drop faster than shooting other players, and the punishment will be equivalent.
Not suggesting to make HS more safe, but I'm also not condoning making HS less safe for everyone that isn't a criminal. |

First of all it is not a thread, it is a blog post; a blog post making the argument that the Faction Police add nothing to the game. Nowhere in it does he "blame" carebears for anything nor whine about the existence of the Faction Police. He just rightly points out that the presence of the faction police completely precludes players from shooting criminals in highsec because the NPCs always do it for them. That isn't the carebear's fault but the developer's.
Joe Risalo wrote:Not suggesting to make HS more safe, but I'm also not condoning making HS less safe for everyone that isn't a criminal. Again, did you even read the post? One of the other major points is that the Faction Police do not make anyone in highsec safer. Gankers have figured out methods to 100% ignore the Faction Police while exploding other players. The Faction Police do not stop, or even hinder ganks and thus removing would not make anyone less safe. At best, allowing criminals to fly around in highsec while red would enable another form of baiting, but since players can already flag themselves suspect and do it really does not add much. And plus, any self-respecting, risk-averse carebear has their safety on 'green' meaning it presents no additional risk at all to them.
The overwhelming consensus of that Reddit thread was that James 315 is right and the Faction Police should go away. You can put your head on the sand if you want, but it is only a matter of time until CCP removes this useless, content-stifling mechanic. |

I'm not sure how anyone can conclude that going from a state of impeded presence in space at all times to an impeded presence in space only when another player decides to intervene and further could draw upon the support of other players without interference in ways not possible due to the Fac Po now doesn't alter how "safe" anyone is.
Or is the expectation that allowing -10s to loiter will automatically lead to successful and lossless campaigns to remove them or that they simply will enjoy the privilege without engaging anything themselves? |

This basically. With low sec status, people like CODE have their ability to gank hindered. That's a penalty. Remove faction police and suddenly you have 75 ships sitting on gates just waiting to pop something. If a hostile fleet came in to take advantage of their low sec status, they would either lose more than they would kill, or CODE would bail and they'd get nothing. Uadama (or however you spell it) would essentially become low sec, thus more dangerous than it already is. You'd have 100 ships or more just sitting on the Jita undock, waiting for a shiny.. They would camp market hubs, mining hubs, and mission hubs.
Many gankers have already shown they don't care if they lose some catalysts. I've seen a gank attempt on an orca fail 3 times, and when they finally pulled it off on the 4th attempt, they Still ended up with a positive KD ratio.
Another thing that James 315 fails to point out is the reason why people don't shoot reds. Once you shoot them, their entire fleet can now hit you without having to worry about CONCORD. It's like swatting a hornets nest with a news paper; Sure, you'll kill something, but you'll also regret it.
Removing faction police would likely ruin the game. Many of the people that gank do so because they have some innate disfuntional aspect in which they enjoy causing misery upon others. Faction police help to keep them in check so that the game can properly function. The game needs miners, missioners, haulers, and everything in between in order to even allow ganking to be possible.
If you remove the checks and balances from the system, it falls apart. We can agree that if we removed ganking and wardecs from HS that the game would suffer in both PvP and PVE. Involuntary PvP is the checks and balances for PVE, while PVE (faction police and CONCORD) is the checks and balances on involuntary pvp. Likewise, pvp fuels pve, pve fuels pvp. Remove one cog and the machine fails to operate. |

Another important factor of FacPo is that they prevent certain forms of PVP from happening in High sec, like perma flashy insta lock T3 gate camps with a logistics army to rep gate gun aggro. FacPo enforces certain differentiating factors between High sec and Low sec PVP and forces people to move to Low sec if they want to indulge in the impossible PVP forms. Again something that James and friends do not grasp.
