Can Concord be beaten? In it's current state it needs some serious co-ordination & firepower. Players attempted to gank a Concord ship late 2013, but the chaots turned it into a shooting gallery for the Concord Police Commander. Read about it here: 'Capsuleers fail to organize a gank on Concord'

a helpfull corp called zombies went to prove this in the old trade hub that was yulai.
many conc were killed, many zombies banned when they told ccp to go forth and procreate when asked to stop the slaughter.
Nice to see someone else recall it was the Zombies who did this. Note the participating Zombies all received a 3 day ban, so it was a temp ban. In response to this, CCP also revamped Concord, with the most notable addition: the Concord Killbeam (only fitted on Concord Police Commander battleships). have a read about it here: 'EvE History: Zombies defied Concord, leading to their revamp'
Ever since, tanking concord has become a thing of the past (Killing a concord response ship also became a thing of the past, despite several attempts over the years)

How advanced can you be when your carrier design is a re-purposed tanker?
The Chimera carrier is a full blown carrier, but one of the few ships that escaped the early Caldari design philosophy 'Function over form'. By Lore, the Chimera resemble the water-freighter converted to carrier commanded by the hero that saved the State during the Gallente attack & bombing at the start of the first Caldari-Gallente war. You can read more about the heroics here: 'Hero of the State, Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba'. In this light, the Chimera resembling this makeshift carrier of old is to inspire their fellow Navy recruits to perform heroic deeds themselves & never give up, no matter the odds.

That's exactly what the deal is. The CONCORD Assembly is basically the space UN.

Concord being like the UN makes so much sense. That's why years later they STILL haven't got around to fixing their HQ :p
Also, Concord can't really keep everyone in Check.. Minm proved that. It was costly, but they still knocked out Concord's fast response, destroyed their HQ, and still had a fleet that was able to march almost all the way to the Amarr Core.
Also CCP Falcon.. Navy Front Line forces being well in advance of what "we" face was used as the excuse for things like why we couldn't kill the the Luminare Titan for all those years. And for the handful of other unkillable Navy ships in space and some missions. Also why some of the Ships say their advanced military features were removed prior to sale to Capsuleers. |

If the CONCORD aren't using hyper advanced Jove technology, merely OP amalgamations of the 4 factions' ships, does this mean, with the right number and combination of ships, the CONCORD could be beaten? Okay, so CONCORD is basically all the Faction ships thrown in a blender and then glued together, with some extra Jova boosts (Insta Teleport, shutting down whole systems, all that super ninja stuff) but it was possible to kill them at one point, and some how they had actually players.. Which confuses me.. But older mechanics and alliteration of the game are too much to completely remember all of it, check out this link: https://zkillboard.com/corporation/1000125/
Ultimately, in the very early days of EVE, players found means of killing them and in response they were made more powerful. Most if not all of the NPC ships are actually pilotable and some have been used in game by a combination of CCP Devs, GMs and ISD volunteers (for lore events etc).
With regard to CONCORD I believe the Devs/ GMs did once field a fleet by hand to take on a pirate band, but we're talking around 10 years ago and my memories are vague. :D |

That explains why it's so ineffective and high sec gankers laugh at them. Seems eerily similar to IRL. Good job, CCP!

While they were successful there was a huge backlash from the player base about Dev's manually killing players with devhax and for the rules being vague. As such Concord was (and has continued to be) buffed, so it no longer ever needs to be done manually.. As such when Dev's DO come out to kill players, they are in ships that we can kill too. Generally on special little roams that are fun for all.
In short, Devs did it once, it blew up in their faces, and they won't do it again. Now if you are doing something against the rules you just get banned :p |

Sadly too much water (mainly tears) under the bridge.
I do miss the old days of seeing Devs in game in cool ships. Having Hilmar in Amarr in an Imperial Apoc always drew a crowd. Also confirmed - Amarr Victor! - When the CCP CEO is Amarrian you know you've picked the right race...
But between Torfifrans accidentally giving away a T5 mining laser (and the first T2 mining laser BPO being used to bargain it back) and the T20 scandal, there were too many issues and so we have the structure we have - CSM, Internal Affairs et al.

That's because CONCORD owns the largest military force in New Eden and there's no "Security Council" to tie their arms to their back when it would be inconvenient for "someone" in the "Security Council" if CONCORD pew pewed accordingly to its fundational principles.

Na... lore wise I bet there is a security council for inter-empire stuff, but capsuleers are all pretty much privateers. Concord get off on killing us. What delay there is in the response is probably due to them drawing straws on who gets to respond.
The battle of Caldari Prime is a good example, even after losing a Concord ship to the Caldari Navy Concord just decided to back off and let the children work it out for themselves. And ignore the privateers in retaliation. |

Not sure if there still are. but fits and ship stats i have seen (DEV/MOD fitting manager links on TQ (no idea where they came from though)) allowed insight on there raw stats (much like the infamous Polaris fits)) a year or 2 (maybe 3, maybe more) ago were off the charts (possible to prevent a Zombie drama in the future). ECM that was far beyond numbers we would ever be able to reach or break, and resist nicely rounded to 100% across the board.
Not sure if those are actually used ship stats for the NPC ships, might have just been DEV toys to test stuff in Jove space and or to prepare there ship balance for if there ever going to be released as faction ships for capsuleers. Then again hearing the story's and seeing things around attempts to gank Concords ships make me suspect, those were actual ship stats to prevent massive High-Sec drama (they proll split them up by now into faction ships and special NPC versions so they have normal stats if they ever need to be released or awards for some kind of event, most jove ships had the same type of stats when those fits where roaming around the local trade hub chats).
I only missed the high-sec Concord VS Titan ship on SISI by a few minutes, and later tried it myself with a carrier else where, to come back highly disappointed as i never was able to put a dent into one of the ships before my Thanny (matter of seconds proll the same as with the titan) went down like a beer on a pub crawl ;) Not sure if your even allowed to test those type of things anymore on SISI now-a-days, lots of rules and regulations have been added since those days.
And looking at events from the past and present (Jita burns anyone ?) this is most likely best for us all.
Im silently hoping someday soon the ships will be released as faction ships (rather sooner then later tbh), but i doubt that will change the stats used on the actual NPC ships to protect our High-Sec assets (for as far as protection goes these day anyway). |

Capsuleers are not sovereign nations nor are they major powers or economic forces. They're private individuals, corporations and conglomerates thus are not subject to the whimsical bueracracy that pervades government organisations. The UN has its own standing army which is what I assume CCP Falcon was hinting at. It'd be more like the UN peacekeeping forces maintaining the peace against mercenary corps from attacking other mercenaries groups or private individuals of particular status whilst ejecting rogue groups where there is no permitting of conflict (which is like say for instance how conflict works in the real world) in Europe or other parts of the world which are stable relatively inside their territories. |

If i remember correctly concord has jove technology thatcan interfere with capsules hence why you are jammed and basicly blow up more or less instantly.
they dont really destroy you with guns but take over your ship and make it self destruct :)
concord ships dont have that power over regular vessel which is why minmatar and other factions are able to destroy them |
