Well its a good thing EVE is a sandbox, because you CAN be as bad as Game mechanics allow, just have to bring a very large bucket.

The purpose of CONCORD is to remove an active threat, which is to say the armed ship flown by a pirate. A pod isn't an armed threat. The consequence of crime in EVE is reduced security status, with all of the drawbacks that that implies.

The purpose of an individual, active CONCORD response team. Is that better?

What the CONCORD pilots do has nothing to do with either GÇö that is just lore fluff.

The purpose of CONCORD is very simple: to impose an asset tax on unlawful aggression (aggression tax being the defining characteristic of highsec).
The mechanics of CONCORD are reasonable simple, dealing with seclevel-specific spawn times for cruisers and battleships.

If you want to nitpick, faction NPCs don't shoot at criminals who enter their systems (largely because criminals can't enter systems) GÇö that's what CONCORD does. The factions only care about outlaws, who CONCORD couldn't care one whit about. The only overlap is sentry guns, who react to sec status changes for whatever reason.

I once flew a megathron through enemy faction space and attacked wartargets I found. I am still a wanted man in gal high sec for that rampage.

Also Gank ships don't fit cloaks. Before spouting nonsense like this you should go to -10 and see how much fun it is doing activities you currently enjoy.

There is a mountain of good advice out there to help pilots avoid these kinds of bad situations. If you want to have a chat about it literally every New Order agent you see will happily tell you what to do to survive us in any given situation. Try it out, play eve like someone is out to blow up your stuff! Anyway...

There was a vote, James 315 won.

The beatings will continue until we reach full compliance.

But what if the 'outlaw that uses their main' to gank, also has a well trained high sec alt for doing things without Faction Police interference in highsec? Do they still have your respect? Or have they now lost it because they use alts like everyone else in this game?

If only there was a ship that could blap an untanked bomber

Have you ever considered that the problem is also in freighters?
They big , slow, haul much.
Maybe eve should shift to DST based transport and not to a freighter based.
Tanked, fast , cloaky and have 60k dedicated cargo hold.

DSTs can consistently pull of the cloak MWD trick which makes them effectively cloaky. They can also fit MJDs and have 80k EHP tanks. A nearly total 70,000 m3 cargo hold at max level is substantial for quite honestly an un-gankable ship.
