Just want to point out

You can still shoot anyone anywhere anytime if they are not docked.

CONCORD infact is the players policing themselves, because as we all know...battleships are rarely used to gank hulks now. Because players don't like the repercussions of losing something so valuable, because its risking so much...Pussies. Its like sticking a metal object in a light socket...after awhile the person doesn't like CONCORD shocking them so much. But its ok to use a destroyer and take a static shock like dragging wool sock covered feet over shag carpet during a dry autumn day.

There is already a place like that.

It is called Low-Sec.

If you had any balls, you'd check it out.

Not that i disagree, but i think the OP's objective isnt about him, but the carebears that refuse to try low/null sec.

Edit: Low sec sucks, null is where the greatness is, imo.

Want to see how well players police themselves, and how popular that pastime is?

Visit lowsec.

I keep wondering what a complete PvE SHARD would be like....

Now this would be neat. But, I fear it would kill the game.

Agree 100%
Remove High Sec too.

Burn EVE. Lets see if a 9 year old game can recover when the exodus begins. Lets find out how many people want to pay to play a glorified Travian.

Aqriue, I want to meet you one day. Just to see if you are genuinely bat **** crazy in real life, or if its all some very determined ploy.

I've honestly never before been that curious about what someone on the internet is really like. I bet you're a crossdressing cage fighter called Marvin, or something similarly awesome.

This would be fantastic for the first hour and then there would be no one to shoot at as everyone in highsec would stop playing.


Imagine. you could park up at Jita and just shoot everyone.

Imagine how leet your killboard would be.

You rock

Remove CONCORD? Nah. Make CONCORD temporarily tankable (with an escalating, proportional increase in damage to prevent perma-tanking via RR), and not an instant-death trigger? Yes.

The high-low-null method of space separation is flawed because given the choice, the majority of people will go to high. Most people dislike the concept of guaranteed loss; it's human nature. EVE Online is high-sec. Null-sec exists purely to provide an arena environment for the FPS fans. So on one hand, you have a part of the game that's simply a pay-to-play battleground, and on the other, you have a part of the game that provides total safety unless you're AFK. Get rid of the ability to choose between these two parts, and EVE can finally become what it's been advertised as for the past nine years.

I think you are confusing "flaw" with "not working the way I want".

No concord, no miners,

This poster is under the illusion that people only mine in high sec, under concord protection. Didn't you ever ask yourself where all that megacyte and zydrine comes from that you buy on the market to make your high sec ships?

You are missing a big chunk of the picture, and you will never understand until you actually go to nullsec. But with your current attitude I recommend against it because you will only be disappointed.

Nah. Goonswarm would come up here and make sure it didn't get outta hand, I'm sure of it.

So in theory, there is a level of merit to be had, *IF* human players can join the ranks of Concord. I know that at face value sounds a bit deplorable, but finer tuning the idea could actually benefit EVE.

Throwing some ideas into the cloud, players that join the PC wing of Concord are effectively locked in to the roaming of high sec, protecting law abiding citizens. ANYONE flagged as criminal or otherwise unsavoury are effectively free game to said player wing of Concord.

This would allow CCP to flag known botters as potential player policing (by flagging as suspicious) etc. NPC Concord just do what they continue to do, but it just adds another mechanism for human controlled police to enforce the parts of EVE high sec that CCP dont have time / resources to micro-manage.

Several rules could govern such as:

* PC concord are unable to fire upon law abiding citizens.
* PC concord will be able to engage, and deal law to criminally flagged targets.
* PC concord will be able to target / scan vessels for contraband. Automatically flagging to criminal if found, so able to engage.
* PC concord unable to exit high sec space in concord ships.
* PC concord players cease to represent concord if using non concord provided vessels, as such a player reverts to 'normal' game mechanics.

I'm sure folk can theorise a lot more potential uses for human policing in EVE, and in reality no game breaking problems would ensue.

I'll be really interested to hear if folks would actually like a chance to LEGALLY hunt *known* BOTS (investigated and confirmed by CCP). Plus patrol the skies of high sec in what could be described as the first step of the PvP ladder..

If done right it could be great for EVE.

I think a better option might be to have a minimum IQ level requirement to play EVE.

Also, If you look at my employment history, since 2004, i believe you will see that i have been in null sec for over 75% of the time.

lets slice your throat instead gangster style

We need police. Unless your an anarchist.

The problem with mob rule is: there is always another mob. So go ahead and slice my throat. And see how far you get with your own throat intact. Etc. Anarchy would never happen. Humanity is programmed to break down into tribes, bands, and little factions led by warlords. Today we call them "countries", tomorrow they could be larger, or smaller. But there will never be anarchy - only do as the local big boss says. Or die.

Who runs Barter Town?!

Yes... but no
