Now imagine a couple of thousand toons applying as CONCORD pilots, maybe after some kind of prerequisites such as certificates or whatever.

Then each time someone violates the engage rules in highsec, a CONCORD pilot would warp to place and easily be able to kill the offender thanks to the 200AU/s warping machine and so on, you get the idea.

This would make highsec more interesting, as there would be some kind of insecurity, and obviously highsec botters say goodbye to their profits

Even there might pop some kind of "mafias" and corrupted CONCORD agents which could wink at crimes over determined systems, previously paid by pirates lol... a new world of possibilities for high and low sec.

Think of this CCP.

Maybe implement a nerfed version of that to some low-sec and 0,0 systems to help sovholders police the space.

Maybe a "jump to" function when a crime has been commited in that constellation. Dont know hoe OP that would be, interesting idea nonetheless.

Basically, the idea is to open up higsec to faction war by having players enforce the standings differences, not NPCs. For example, if you entered Jita but had poor Caldari standing, than all players in Jita with high Caldari standings could nuke you, similarly to if a pirate with low sec status had entered the system.

One of the fixes to Faction Warfare being proposed by CCP Soundwave and discussed by the players in the Faction Warfare fixes thread is the removal of ALL faction NPC's from higsec, very similar to your idea of replacing concord ships with players.

If you have an opinion on the issue, please share your feedback, but remember if you're posting in that thread keep it to Faction Warfare discussions, and if you're posting here lets keep it about Concord.

But its an interesting parallel idea though....

There is no way that players, especially new ones in Jita, could hold a candle to the firepower and quick response time of Concord 23/7. This is pretty laughable, actually.

for faction though?
not really so, the fleets on the station and gates would have a legal reason to shoot more than WTs and somehow I don't think they would pass up the chance if it was given to them.

you would probably end up with factional gate camps in empire lol

Player run CONCORD.


Do you really want Goons in CONCORD ships responsible for punishing criminal offenses in highsec?

Yes there's no way this could possibly be horribly abused
