I am just curious if it is actually physically possible to go toe to toe with Concord.
And I don't just mean shooting at them and then getting blown up. But seriously, what ship can actually survive a battle against Concord?

You need a shield bonused ship (claymore, maelstrom, golem, vargur). You need a pith x-type XL booster and some decent deadspace invuls, and a shitload of cap boosters.
That's not even the tough part.
You need lots of smartbombing friends. While concord is busy shooting you, they will ignore your friends. It takes at least 10 smartbombing battleships, but you can take out one of those concord frigates. It's SO worth it. Concord is rumored to use confiscated officer modules and will drop them upon destruction.

It's actually interesting to think about. Is it possible to assemble a fleet that can in fact defeat concord? As far as I know there are simply an unlimited number of them but it stands to reason if it's possible then one simply needs to assemble a mighty fleet to attempt it.
And let's face it - acording to the in game stuff there are concord modules that are utterly badass that I've also never seen or heard of in actuality. Perhaps concord DOES drop modules when they die. If you can convince enough people to try, jump on SiSi to see if it's possible to actually get kills in the concord fleet. A few dozen people ought to be enough to see if it's simply possible. If it's possible to kill them AND they drop concord gear, why NOT try it in the real game? At least it'd make a newspost.

It has been done, at the very least twice. Once by a group of apocs and ravens(at this time battleships were rare), you can find a video showing how they did it aswell. And once they were not killed iirc, however tanked for some 30-45 minutes - by Chribba in his Veldnaught.
They bave been boosted since.

CONCORD spawn more reinforcements for every ship that is aggressed or has a GCC so it's simply not possible - the more ships involved in trying to tank them the more they'll spawn, and each and every target will be insta-neuted, jammed and scrammed so the usual rules of "tank gets all aggro with logistics repping" don't apply as they do in L5 missions.
That said I guess you could probably one-shot a frigate or volley a cruiser in a suitably setup Apoc sniper ship if they are already on grid (don't know CONCORDs range on neuting, etc)

Good old mOo... let's blame them for abusing Concord's limitations enough that CCP felt they had to massively buff Concord.
It's amusing a vicious pirate corp caused one of the biggest steps towards CarebearOnline Eve's ever likely to see.
Oops.

Best I've managed is constantly warping around Jita with a GCC, not sticking around long enough for them to turn up at my warp exit point. I would presume that doing this constantly for 15 mins to avoid Concordokken would be deemed an exploit, but since it would be impossible to do it in anything bigger than a frigate I'm not sure it's a big concern. I only managed about 7 warps before I misclicked and got vaporised

Yeah. Anybody remember the bug where you created a bookmark which lay way outside the eve universe (seemed like at least^^). You always had the next bookmark straight in a line and could warp forever. That was fun..

That would be quite amazing if you could do that for 15 minutes. Given an interceptor fitted for agility, is there enough time to do a full 180 before they spawn?

Titans are immune to EW, use one to pwn Concord. Dont forget the cap boost in mids to fight their Neuts.

Huh? I doubt that because it's a bannable offense. Although it's a vaguely interesting discussion the bottom line is that you must lose your ship to Concord or else you lose it (and potentially access to your account) to the GMs.

My tanking of Concord was on SiSi, and they did indeed get buffed some patches after, not likely due to my test-server tank tho.

I'd say it was possible but it would require military precision to pull off. I did it in an Ibis and iirc I had about 5 or 6 seconds to align and warp after reaching the exit point before CONCORD were on top of me. Since I presume they would spawn wherever you come out (instead of following you in warp) you would have to keep warping to different bookmarks/objects.
What is interesting as an aside is the final jump I made I ended up in an asteroid field and there was someone already there who - when they saw I was flashy red - just locked and scrammed me, and when CONCORD had finished me off I ended up with a longer aggression timer on the guy who locked me than I did with CONCORD (by about a minute). So, in theory I could've got a PvP capable ship, waited out my GCC and gone back to say hello to him
