  info: 'The Monitor was initially developed by the CONCORD Directive Intelligence
    Agency as an observation ship that could survive extremely hostile areas of space
    for observation and data collection missions against pirate, capsuleer, and emergent
    threats. To serve in this role the Monitor was developed with defensive technology
    inspired by the venerable "Polaris" line of frigates. After initial field testing
    demonstrated the incredible durability of this new vessel, CONCORD Aerospace realized
    that a civilian version would potentially prove valuable to capsuleer fleet commanders
    and the Inner Circle approved the distribution of blueprint copies directly to
    worthy capsuleers through the "loyalty point" program.


    Flag Cruisers like the Monitor are specialized in survivability and observation
    at the expense of virtually all other functions. Powerful shield generators and
    thick armor plating combine with the smallest signature radius of any cruiser
    to create one of the most durable ships ever seen in New Eden. The Monitor also
    enjoys impressive sensor capabilities and digital systems hardened against hostile
    electronic warfare. In exchange for these benefits the Monitor gives up virtually
    all offensive capabilities and utility. The Monitor is only able to fit propulsion
    modules, low-power target painters, and probe launchers. This ship is the ultimate
    specialist, useful for fleet commanders who serve as a stable presence on a chaotic
    battlefield.'

## Summary

</div>
Following requests for a more headshot-resistant ship (headshotting being the act of trying to kill the enemy FC(s) first), the Monitor is the first Flag Cruiser to come to New Eden. It has no offensive abilities whatsoever aside from being able to fit a minimal-strength target painter. In exchange, it is exceptionally durable, having 183k base EHP combined with the signature radius of a Frigate. Unlike other CONCORD ships, Monitors are not special edition ships, and BPCs can be acquired through the CONCORD LP store.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Skills

</div>
The costs of the CONCORD ships mean that any pilot will want high skills before they fly it.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Tactics

</div>
The Monitor is designed to create an extremely durable platform from which FCs can tag targets, call primaries, and direct fleet movements. Its ridiculous ehp is designed to make it an extremely unfavorable target to engage first, as it will take far too long to kill. The purpose of the essentially zero-strength target painter with ridiculous range is so that the FC can get on kill mails.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Notes

</div>
Since the Monitor has no Turret Hardpoints or Launcher Hardpoints and very limited Power Grid and CPU it cannot fit modules capable of attacking or damaging other ships.

The Monitor is only capable of fitting Target Painters, Automated Targeting Systems, Propulsion modules, Scan Probe Launchers, and festival launchers. This leaves the Monitor in a special role.

While it is very evasive, it is not impossible to catch and warp interdict or scramble it, plus (as of 2019 information) it carries the price of an expensive battleship. Thus, for smaller fights the FC may wish to consider an alternative platform from which to command.
