Concord ships can instapop super capitals. Why don't they send 2-3 to deal with the sansha invasion and call it a day? You can't even target them, it's not like they can lose.
I truly hate the idea of concord. Make high sec safer than low sec, but not so safe that attacking someone else is CERTAIN death and avoiding it is actually considered an exploit. That's just dumb and breaks any hope of immersion. You can't have super pwnmobile ships like that. A concord BS > any ship in the game.

It does make some sense that they can, not sure it makes sense that they would. Hmm. At least not to the degree that it's being done. You get to know how many people are docked and active in a system, how many ships were blown up, how many times the gate has been used in the past hour, etc.. so much information.
I tell you, the worst enemy of a game is too much information. Especially when it comes to PvP here. Since almost everything is decided prior to the actual battle, letting everyone know everything about each other means no one will ever want to engage unless they are certain to win, so just about every fight is one sided. You know if you're going to win or lose before a single shot is even fired.
The only way to at least make this exciting is to remove all the methods to detect what someone is flying and what their character may be. If you KNOW everything, your mind isn't allowed to expand into assumptions and imaginations... that's where it's at. That's where the fun truly rests. It's why good horror movies don't show much of the monster. They let your mind do it for you.. and when they show it, it's not given a close up camera view. The idea is the suspense. The Unknown.

Lets bring some of that back.. please.

I'm planning on it.
But, to be honest and simply blunt, most players are too scared of losing stuff, and too afraid of tarnishing their reputation (kill mails). It's that simple. That's why people gang up into unimaginable blobs and take every precaution. It's not for fun. It's because they treat the game like a job, building the perfect resume.
I feel that wormhole space is how all of the EvE universe should feel. At least there is that small bit that is actually good there.
