Hey all.
I'm a newish player, or certainly not a vet so go easy on me :)
I just thought it would be cool if I could hire rats. I was sort thinking they wouldn't be to fearsome, basically exactly the same as the rats that that hang around the gates in nullsec. Maybe drop a deployable way point, pay monies and rats spawn on a NBSI basis.
Responding in advance to the negative
+++Balance! Interceptors zoom away from the gate before they fire just like always, it just means you can't hang around. Gankers still be ganking :)
+++Do they fight with you? MOAR balance! Yep, they do. You're still gonna die but at least the fight will be slightly interesting instead of blapaggeddon
+++Something for nothing? Nope, you gotta pay. hence it follows the classic risk reward style of eve.
+++Place em anywhere? Nope, must have sov.
+++So whats the point? Well its kinda cool :) and would just enrich the eve world a little
+++CCP: But my eyes are red and i don't wanna programme no more! The rats spawn near gates anyhow and it's kinda like a reverse ess.
Cheers Mike.

Waiting three hours for a interceptor that can warp past you in around 2 seconds?
I'll hire ya!
As i said, i just thought it would be cool, fills the void a little in a quite system |

This comes up every so often.
The problem with this idea is that anything done to help smaller groups and/or solo players will be to the overwhelming advantage of larger, more organized groups of players.
If you can hire "mercs"... so can the people that already outnumber you. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Good point...
Could a one or two limit per system might fix that?
I more just like the cool factor rather than wanting to affect balance,

You cant control more than 5 drones btw =)
Your Idea has logic behind it, from the real life experience, but it will really break the game. And limiting something isnt really EVEs style... |

Hey Jaz,
thx for the feedback :)
Ok New Edits
+++How would they be controlled? - NBSI, Red or orange. Thems the only buttons sry. - They work when you are not on grid. Basically exactly like gate rats, them lazy mofos aint changing the course of history anytime soon
+++What if people spam a million billion on a gate. one per grid. I lol'd at ur eve style jaz :)
+++OK fine maybe it could be cool, but it still might adjust the balance - Maybe! People are awesome at this game...and damn you people read alot - They last a very long time but never that strong
Mike!
