Has to be Vendetta - been watching them with interest recently.
They have never run away from taking on the other High-sec merc groups:
- They have thwacked PIRAT. - They have brow-beaten Arch-Type. - Utterly humiliated and now buried Complaints Department. - Marmite are coo'ing them on the KB so they don't get decced by Vendetta themselves.
Definitely the no.1 in High-sec |

But in all seriousness, I dont think there is such a thing as best merc alliance. All depends on what you measure. Highest ranked on zkb, most killed in isks, solid group, loyal members, survived multiple attacks by multiple merc alliances, etc etc.... Mmm, that sounds as Marmites.
I'll stick to PL as best mercenaries in Eve and VMG, PE, BAW are my favorite merc alliances. And that's because I like their way of fighting.

I wanted to leave the filter open to see how people classify 'best'. I'm also interested to see how people perceive the current crop of mercs to older high sec merc groups in their prime. |

It's honestly hard to say,
But I'd say BAW when they give a ****, they can always cause havoc.
POH when it was in full swing, had probably the best solo pilots around.
I remember Pod Repo being scary good.
VMG obviously is the current power house.
I think the definition of best is a little to open. It's hard to place it as from what I know even these four are pretty diverse if you tried to rate them.

You are the most awesome eve player I have ever met. Thank you for posting here. We are truly blessed.
Comparing what PL does and what HS mercs do and then claiming one is better than the other is kind of silly. Apples and oranges are apples and oranges. Some guys really dislike being in full TIDI being yelled at by a lunatic FC and some guys find no joy in shooting an ibis on the 4-4 undock. This is a true up opinion question. Can't we just give our opinions and their basis and bypass the urge to pee down each others air hose.
I think dropping n+2 supers on a fight is just as lame as 8 dudes w/ link and falcon support lumping up on a 9 day old badger pilot trying to get 20k tritanium to market. I think we can all agree that any form of pvp is good for the game. It shouldn't really matter if you prefer to pvp in a gimp suit or a full blown delux unicorn costume. Just shoot someone w/ you pals and feel awesome about it.
(reprimand from no name non internet/eve famous bitter vet wannabe is now concluded)
Someone should mention privateers in this. Maybe not the best, but they should get credit for a few things. They made CCP change the game at least 2 times. No other merc outfit can claim that. |

It's the higher purpose thing that disqualifies you. Ideology doesn't put food on the table. Sure you do good work, but.... Mercs work for ass, cash or grass. It's all about that three extra silver stags to turn that guy's kids into orphans. No matter how awesome the glory is, you can't eat it.

PL was my serious answer. I know they dont operate in highsec( at least to my knowledge) but i have fought against them several times. I have a lot of respect for their abilities. They are quite effective and successful when it comes to mercing. IMO, what i consider the best merc group in the game should have at least an honorable mention.
My funny answer was "Asking who is the best merc group in high sec is like asking who is the best swimmer in the kiddie pool." Even though i poke fun at high sec pvp, i consider it a service and necessary. Without high sec mercs/gankers/etc. there would be no encouragement for people to get out of highsec and it would be a completely risk free environment. And no one really wants WoW in space except maybe WoW players.
The general impression is that null fighting is a bunch of pushing F1 while a FC screams at you. First if you have an FC that is screaming, he isnt a good FC. The normal response out of people who are being yelled at is to ignore the person doing the yelling. No one wants to hear that especially in video game. So a screaming FC is going to be less effective than one that doesnt need anger management.
Sov fighting, bashing structures large fleet fights with caps etc is only a tiny part of null warfare. Basically in null we do everything that pvpers in high and lowsec do, we just arent restricted by game mechanics when we do them. Small and medium gangs are a lot more common than large CTA fleets. We have no issues killing 4 day old characters just like high sec pvpers. In fact how many days you have been playing or how many SP you have is completely irrelevant. There is risk when you undock and you consent to this risk regardless of if your 4 days old or 4 years old, whether you undock in null or highsec. If pvpers spent their time checking how newb someone is they would die a lot more and let a lot more targets get away.
I am sure high sec pvpers are not just about ganking and killing mining noobs and null corp members on shopping trips. While its not for me, im sure they enjoy trying to catch unaware players. people who dont pay attention to their wardec list. That decide its ok to rat in their deadspace fit golem because no war targets in system., etc.
At the end of the day, to me anyway, it doesnt matter why you pvp or who you are pvping against, just that you pvp, even if your currently putting me into hull.
My number one fear for Eve is that it will become WoW in space.

*shrug* Not all nullsec groups are created equal. Occasionally people derp out over silly things, but for the most part PL fleets are nice and chill- I couldn't imagine flying under someone like DBRB ever again (if you're unacquainted, he screams/shouts non-stop). Some SuperCap FC's get a bit overzealous at time, but when you call for several trillion in assets to jump into a hostile grid- that can be a bit more stressful than welping a subcap fleet.

Oh and i cant stand f1 monkey battles (spent most of my days in null), i pref to be able to make a difference in a fight; ie small gang/solo over massive battles.

Guy Fawkes Trust Fund [GFTF] is my fav merc corp of all time. It used to be one of those newbie friendly pve corps that got decced by every wannabe pvper in eve. And why wouldn't they? we had so many hilarious losses. Just one look at the KB and you would know GFTF has the best carebears in town. Anyways that all changed after some time. Constant wars has made everyone tough. All those who decced us, got hunted down. Corp got transformed from missioners to mercs . It was very successful in merc business later on until it got inactive. You will find many of us in other merc alliances. Few of them made their own alliance, which actually is getting lot of praises here.

I agree. The group i fly with now is awesome but ive had some FC/groups that just made me cringe, some that were so full of drama that i didnt even bother going out with, CTA or not.
And not all alliances do a large selection of pvp. Some only do CTAs and its easier to get a mining fleet 10 minutes before DT than a small roam at peak. I had a hard time finding a reason to login in those alliances. No point in making your wallet fat if your not going to ever spend it on anything.

I love small gang work. I just prefer it in null where i dont have to worry about wardecs, concord, station games and hide and seek. Just blitz through a region catching who you can. Sometimes you end up with a few MTUs and sometimes you catch a carrier with his pants down and no one to rescue him:) |

I did the High Sec thing for quite a while, several years ago. In target focused groups like Devils, and in the mass dec trade hub camping groups like the 0rphanage. Hell, at one point I was even +6 Taloses to a miniluv freighter gank group. The payout is there, for sure- simply because most highsec mission bears never think their purple autism chariot is ever in danger- so a simple gank can greatly inflate your wallet, but those are the minority in a world of frigate and destroyer kills and that's just boring.
I much prefer the often touted 'f1 monkey' life, but where we have 50-60 dudes, and we're fighting 200. There's a certain excitement in using a subcap, a dread and a super all in the same fight; too bad recent capital changes make this a near impossibility. |

You are the most awesome eve player I have ever met. Thank you for posting here. We are truly blessed. Comparing what PL does and what HS mercs do and then claiming one is better than the other is kind of silly. Apples and oranges are apples and oranges. Some guys really dislike being in full TIDI being yelled at by a lunatic FC and some guys find no joy in shooting an ibis on the 4-4 undock. This is a true up opinion question. Can't we just give our opinions and their basis and bypass the urge to pee down each others air hose. I think dropping n+2 supers on a fight is just as lame as 8 dudes w/ link and falcon support lumping up on a 9 day old badger pilot trying to get 20k tritanium to market. I think we can all agree that any form of pvp is good for the game. It shouldn't really matter if you prefer to pvp in a gimp suit or a full blown delux unicorn costume. Just shoot someone w/ you pals and feel awesome about it. (reprimand from no name non internet/eve famous bitter vet wannabe is now concluded) Someone should mention privateers in this. Maybe not the best, but they should get credit for a few things. They made CCP change the game at least 2 times. No other merc outfit can claim that. Roenok Baalnorn wrote:Pandemic Legion is the best Merc group in the game. Asking who is the best merc group in high sec is like asking who is the best swimmer in the kiddie pool. PL was my serious answer. I know they dont operate in highsec( at least to my knowledge) but i have fought against them several times. I have a lot of respect for their abilities. They are quite effective and successful when it comes to mercing. IMO, what i consider the best merc group in the game should have at least an honorable mention. My funny answer was "Asking who is the best merc group in high sec is like asking who is the best swimmer in the kiddie pool." Even though i poke fun at high sec pvp, i consider it a service and necessary. Without high sec mercs/gankers/etc. there would be no encouragement for people to get out of highsec and it would be a completely risk free environment. And no one really wants WoW in space except maybe WoW players. The general impression is that null fighting is a bunch of pushing F1 while a FC screams at you. First if you have an FC that is screaming, he isnt a good FC. The normal response out of people who are being yelled at is to ignore the person doing the yelling. No one wants to hear that especially in video game. So a screaming FC is going to be less effective than one that doesnt need anger management. Sov fighting, bashing structures large fleet fights with caps etc is only a tiny part of null warfare. Basically in null we do everything that pvpers in high and lowsec do, we just arent restricted by game mechanics when we do them. Small and medium gangs are a lot more common than large CTA fleets. We have no issues killing 4 day old characters just like high sec pvpers. In fact how many days you have been playing or how many SP you have is completely irrelevant. There is risk when you undock and you consent to this risk regardless of if your 4 days old or 4 years old, whether you undock in null or highsec. If pvpers spent their time checking how newb someone is they would die a lot more and let a lot more targets get away. I am sure high sec pvpers are not just about ganking and killing mining noobs and null corp members on shopping trips.

I'm going to be biased but also support my statements.
My highsec main is/was Zeus Maximo and I was the CEO of Mentally Assured Destruction which later formed the Pursuit of Happiness. I respect quite a few opinions here but I'd be hard pressed to find someone who has slept around as much as myself.
Merc groups I flew/fly with on alts/mains: Northern Strike God Squad. Break-A-Wish The Vikings Reborn U-Mad UWOF PL
Well known mercs I regularly flew with: Vegas Mirage Uncle Bao Kai Adriel Yuller Scandor Trottel Martin MirrorGod Saeger Holey Sheet Gourock Jimmy15 Dwayne Yendaj Scorps Doctor Per Flumz Solj Ju0 Genghis Kaun Fogg Alekseyev Karrde PL dudes and many many more.....
^^ I still keep in contact with a lot of these people one way or another ^^
To get to my point, I think I have enough experience to give a well rounded multi-part answer.
Ever existed list: Best Merc in Eve= PL Best Merc in High-sec at the moment= Vendetta Most Efficient and Elitist merc= Break-A-Wish Best Recruiter in High-sec= Tora Best **** talkers in High-sec= Jimmy/Dwayne Most resilient= Devils Most notorious mercs= Privateers, God Squad, Orphanage, MC, Noir Most organized= MC, Noir, Orphanage
And last but not least, I'll wager Mentally Assured Destruction as one of if not the most WELL ROUNDED MERCS to have ever existed in highsec(the biased part).
Things we excelled at in highsec during our active stage:
- Locater agent hunting (picked this up from Break-A-Wish)
- Solo pvp (had 3 humans in corp who were top 100 on battleclinic, and no they werent station campers)
- Station camping (Ivy League still hates us, forced RVB to drop their 500 mill per pod loss rule)
- Oversized afterburners (100mn tengus and 10mn destroyers were our thing)
- Logi Support (picked this up from God Squad and BAW)
- Mass war decs (Ran Whores in Space, First merc alliance in highsec to hit 1 trillion isk destroyed via recorded wars)
- Meta Gaming (Brought high-sec Galactic Skyfleet Empire and Praetorian Directorate)
- Hunting (old Umad members still excel in every alliance they are in, in hunting)
- Friendship (had no blues but was friends with every merc leadership)
- Youtube videos ( Many Here and Xolve also linked some of mine)
With all of this said I recommend Mentally Assured Destruction as the best high sec merc to have ever existed in high-sec.

Nullsec is only f1 pushing if you don't step up, which most people don't. I used to have a similar mindset until I decided to give it a serious shot and now I am often quad boxing as a Logi fc, dread alt, links and a scout, not to mention very regularly managing entosis wings and coordinating nodes and there are still a ton of things I could be doing ontop of that like using an alt dictor or combat probing. Outside of battles there is heaps of planning and coordination that goes into wars, taking into account jump ranges and constellation layouts. Eve is as easy or as hard as you want to make it.
To answer the question though. I don't think it's possible to crown any one group as the best. Too many groups have existed over the years that do too many different things better than their competition to ever pick one best one.
Edit: wew my laptop somehow completely messed my post up. Fixed

Whores in Space was ranked #1 in most damage done since Inferno(was part of presentation during fanfest). Also in May 2013 Whores in Space did hit 1 trillion a month before Marmite
Regarding GSE we were the ones who found them in the first place in a backwater Amarr system.... We farmed them so hard Alex came to us explaining if we didn't drop the dec they were going to disband and we'd never see them again. I accepted a surrender offer of 5 marauders (ju0 wanted 10 bill) and we called it a day. Knowing you all camped Amarr we told you about their wealth. The rest is history to be honest, you got in bed with Alex while we kept getting paid. |

TLDR whores was first and GSE statement isn't relevant if you let them get toasted to near disbandment.

I also can't think of a single ship that benefits from 10b in fitting mods that isn't a super capital/AT ship; the gains are minimal on all but a few modules, and 3% resists or hp isn't going to save you from getting disconnected or being badly outnumbered. After briefly combing your losses, 10b sounds like a neat number, but you don't really need to exaggerate. You can however explain to all of us how you seem to consistently lose 4b+ pods to battleships in High Sec though. |

officer props give 10% extra speed bonus on heat, which comes down to 150-250ms on say a mach. Officer scram/points add allot of range, as well as more scram strength; scrams easier to fit than heavy warp scrams too by quite a margin. officer cap boosters drop the time on each boost by a fair bit. webs add allot of range.
apart from those specific mods i agree; not worth the buck. but on these modules imo it does add a fair bit. |

10% extra speed for 3 cycles of heat isn't worth the price tag or extra fitting cost to me.
Warp Scrams are debatable, the 10 point officer scrams are niche at best, because lol 3k powergrid isn't easy to give up on a lot of hulls, and if you do go that direction you're often giving up a plate or downsizing your guns. I use one of these on my Redeemer, but that's a 5% PG Implant (which gets complicated with slaves/snakes).
I really can't think of a single instance where having an officer web on a battleship would serve as anything other than bragging rights- it's not like you're trying to keep people in bubbles and more often than not, people are too stupid to burn away. If web's really are a huge factor, just bring a Vindicator/Huginn. |

Warp Scrams are debatable, the 10 point officer scrams are niche at best, because lol 3k powergrid isn't easy to give up on a lot of hulls, and if you do go that direction you're often giving up a plate or downsizing your guns. I use one of these on my Redeemer, but that's a 5% PG Implant (which gets complicated with slaves/snakes). I really can't think of a single instance where having an officer web on a battleship would serve as anything other than bragging rights- it's not like you're trying to keep people in bubbles and more often than not, people are too stupid to burn away. If web's really are a huge factor, just bring a Vindicator/Huginn.
so a vindi with tobias web + links you think is bad? or a bhaalgorn with a 50km web is bad? A mach, which has plenty of spare fitting power; be it shield or armor; doesnt even have to downgrade guns, neuts or tank to still fit an officer point.

Seems wasteful when you can have a recon5 alt do all those things at a fraction of the cost.

Well yeah that's because population wise 90% of the people in the world don't like to do more than needed, it's just human nature. The more people you have in one area the more of those lazy people you get. It's easy to keep a small group of more advanced players if you selectively recruit, but that also limits what you can do, what engagements you can take and your ability to gain experience in different situations.
I wasn't really saying that everyone in null is more skillful, I was pointing out that on a personal level there is a ton more to do than F1 if your the kind of person that likes to push their abilities and help decide the outcome of large battles ^_^.

Yes, just add another toon at the cost of 1-2 modules. (3 bil vs plexing($)/multiboxing(as if youre not busy enough with the ton of alts already). A toon that could be an extra logi or dps toon. Sounds great. /sarcasm. |

Apparantly you're from the special needs division. i'll try spell it out for you again.
Not all ships are negatively influenced by fitting an officer mod on it; ie the mach with excess fitting room to name one. Officer items like webs, cap boosters, points and mwd's do add some/great benefits opposite blue fittings. You responded with just use a recon 5 alt. but thats another toon to multibox/keep plexed. easier to just fit an officer mod, both on pilotting as on iskies.

Yeah i run a main, with 2 alts which are usually in nestors, and an occator with shitton of capboosts + a links/scout. Difference between xolve and me is is that i have to actively use 4 accounts in a combat situation, where i usually end up being on my own vs a blob of 5-20. I dont care if you are online with 20 alts, you're not actively pilotting all 20 of them. imo 3-4 is the max you can pilot without being too god awful slow (in subcaps). |

I actively use a subcap, triage/dreads, and a super if needed.
The difference between you and I is that I tend to fight people that shoot back, and while maybe not solo- we're usually at a significant number disadvantage, all in an area of space where I risk everything and usually don't have a station to go cower in. |

I said we were often outnumbered, which we are; 50-100 vs 300 is still pretty outnumbered.
But at this guy comparing himself to me when he's killed less than 50 ships with guns on them in the last 2 months, for a total isk value less than what we killed on Saturday.

Im going to have to agree with xolve on this one. High and null pvp are much different.
In high you are usually shooting targets that cant shoot back or even if they can are not pvp fit such as ratters. Most targets are caught 100% by surprise, are solo, and are trying to get away not fight back. Even if you do get people that fight back its not people that fight everyday and likely rarely pvp and probably not by choice. From what i have seen from how high sec pvp goes now, a corp or alliance wardecs 100 corps or alliances and waits at a hub or busy pipe for targets to appear. Only on the rare occasion does high sec pvpers shoot people that shoot back in pvp ships.
In null, when you go on a roam or you are attacking someone sov, you do catch ratter's, miners, and transports. The difference is the region already knows where you are usually, how many in your group, and what you are flying. When it comes to killing non pvpers after youve been discovered youre only killing people to stupid to use intel channel or who says " im mining anyways". Now the hunter often becomes the hunted. defense fleets are formed, people are trading in their mining barge or ratter for intys, bombers, dictors, hacs, etc. They are setting up gate camps with drag bubbles to catch you. Your not using scouts to find your next target, your using scouts to make sure there is not 100 cerbs and 20 bubbles in the next system ready to take out your 20 man gang.
In null, you are looking out for bubbled gate camps, Bomber fleets, hot drop fleets, bait ships designed to get aggression so your trapped in system and to provide a warp in and roaming gangs. You have no "safe place" your in hostile territory no POS, no friendly station or citadel, not even a cloak. Sometimes you have to scavenge ammo, boosters, and nanite from the dead just so you can fight another round. And when you do choose to leave, you usually have to fight your way back out because now you done pissed off the hornets nest and they are chasing you. Its awesomely fun and quite the adrenaline rush.
Hunting in high sec is just that hunting. Your shooting deer that manage to pass by you. The deer will rarely charge you and try to hurt you. They just run away. In null sec the deer are on comms, wear body armor, carry AK-47s and throw grenades.
Like ive said before, high sec pvp is good for the game, it keeps people out of high sec and it keeps high from being a safe place. So its good that their is some force besides isk driving people out of high and keeping them out of high. But comparing high pvp to null pvp is like comparing hunting deer to world war II. |

Skilled PvP is dead in general.
Welcome to the age of farming/following orders (depending which space you fly in). The outcome of (nearly) every battle is determined before the first shot is ever fired by who has the hard counter to the enemy fleet's fittings, or who has more numbers, or just who is ready and who isn't. They are almost never decided by who flies their ships with more skill.
That being said - there are of course some exceptions. Some skilled PvPers do still exist in the game.....But they have grown so rare that they almost never manage to encounter another of their kind...so it still isn't really a "skilled"/good fight, they just slaughter their inept opponents. |

The difference is the region already knows where you are usually, how many in your group, and what you are flying. When it comes to killing non pvpers after youve been discovered youre only killing people to stupid to use intel channel or who says " im mining anyways". Now the hunter often becomes the hunted. defense fleets are formed, people are trading in their mining barge or ratter for intys, bombers, dictors, hacs, etc. They are setting up gate camps with drag bubbles to catch you. Your not using scouts to find your next target, your using scouts to make sure there is not 100 cerbs and 20 bubbles in the next system ready to take out your 20 man gang.
Regarding this,

You might risk it all in nullsec, but have a chance to get out as you're part of the 100 (and often you'r ein lowsec with NPC stations). When he go's in, he knows 100% sure he will be targeted. So maybe that's even a higher level of pvp.
This is much different than highsec.

The mere presence of his hair in an enemies system would make capsules start there self destruct timers. Mentioning his name in local would drain the capacitor of said cunning typist. He often didn't fit warp scrams because just his presence on-grid stunned his enemies like deer caught in the headlights of a 4x4.

Speaking of, I was also there in that fleet engagement linked in the picture and video. You're dealing with an alpha requirement due to logi and perhaps I didn't read close enough but frankly I don't get why 0.0 gameplay is being mentioned in a thread about high sec mercs. I feel like it's an attempt to steer the conversation into a direction the player understands or can talk about.

I gotta say I agree with Tora though. Doesn't matter if your fleet is skilled, you still need everyone to shoot the same thing at the same time. It's a bad example of what makes a group great according to individual skill and especially regarding high sec mercenaries it just muddies the conversation.

this exactly. Xolve doesnt seem to get how i find a 1v3 harder than a 100v300. the individual skill gets shown more in smaller skirmishes. I've been there, and done that xolve. i've had massive brawls in wh's, kiting fights in null/low/wh/high stretching over 1000km. All of this is pointless as you cant seem to relate to high sec pvp. You're looking at it with ur pink nullsec goggles. Fact is, you probally havent been in any (decent) high sec pvp. The silly statement of nothing fights back is just as silly, as they do try to drop on me on a regular basis, i just pilot my way out of it.
you're 90% in massive gangs on ur kb; you could be the biggest noob and tag along f1'ing and you would still do fine as long as you anchor and follow broadcasts. i'm not saying youre a bad player; you're just in a totally different playstyle opposite me.

I dont know. When I think of PvP, I think of lowsec. I have seen some pretty killer fights flying with my corp, who are pretty good pvpers. I have learned quite a bit from them. I would not consider myself good in terms of lowsec pvp but I think I am decent at highsec pvp.
I refuse to engage in nullsec pvp. Getting a 1v1 or 1v2 can quickly turn to a 1v30 and get blapped. Where is the fun in that? I do watch quite a bit of solo nullsec pvp videos and to me it looks fun until the solo pvper is taking on 30+ in a Hyperion.
I was watching one guy in a Ferox take on these two or three guys on, killing them over and over (one even brought a Procurer to fight) until they wore him down and finally killed him. Now that would be fun as hell and would relish that fight. Then I saw another video where one guy took out a couple of pilots, and next thing he knew there was 25 of them on him with ECM and logi.
If any pvp is lame, its nullsec. But one day, I might just go ahead and scream 'BONZAI' and take a BS out to null just to get it blown up and see how many I can take with me. :)

I enjoy micro-gang the most, but it's not always feasible when you're living in a system with 700 hostiles or when you're staying in sparsely populated areas of space. I've done everything except wormholes for years, because some how I've been rich enough to sustain myself without resorting to shooting little red boxy things, and to be perfectly honest, kill people and taking their stuff is more than enough income for me .
Funny you should mention KB stats, since most of your kills are either frigates dying to an insta-locking ship, shuttles/haulers of various sizes or mission-bear ships that while technically could fight back, they're not really much of a risk in your machariel are they?
As for high sec corps go- at one point I owned upwards of 30 pilots. I've been in The 0rphanage, Snatch Victory, The Dark Tribe, Devil's Warriors Alliance, We Form Voltron, Project Nemesis, Private Nuisance, OG Somali Coast Guard and served as a long time Red Federation FC in RvB. Hell at one point I was semi-notorious for war deccing EVE-Radio, just because some white knights said I wouldn't. I'm also 'that guy' that got banned from half a dozen RP channels (lol) because I was a director in a reddit based faction warfare corp that decided it would be more fun to shoot the friendly militia as well, and that the empress could go **** herself.
I don't think it's possible for you to be any more wrong, Mr. 2011. People don't join PL to be elite solo pvpers, they join to take hostile fleets to the own zone and actually use caps, black ops and other fun ships on the regular. How people outside of PL feel about that is something none of us are very concerned about. |

Perhaps the topic of Best High Sec Merc Group is a matter of opinion. When it's so abstract that probably explains why it's so hard to define the answer using statistics or ISK figures. Perhaps the best indication is who people are afraid of. This is why I say Cannibal Kane because he was just one guy who commanded the recognition enjoyed by most merc corp or alliances.
Comparatively, why you would still try so hard to push the PL narrative in this thread is beyond me, since the number of people who say "Oh no it's PL the high sec merc group" is precisely 0

If you don't go to highsec, is there really anything to be afraid of?
PL came up because limiting 'who is the best mercenary alliance' to High Sec is stupid, especially in a forum that was once dedicated to low sec. |

you don't know how to manually pilot a ship; or dont consider pilotting multiple accounts simultaneously as a 'skill'? Wether ur in low, null, wh or empire, all these things require skill. Even on the level of strategy differences in skill can be seen. That's why for instance complaints department gets rekt vs vmg; they have more pilots (people); can fly the same ships; they just lack the will/strategy to deal with us. That means we outskilled them?
Same goes for PL; they often fight outnumbered with quite big ratio's. If skill wasn't a factor, then they would get **** on every time. dumdum

Ok, lol. let's go.
How is me hitting the weak/haulers/missionrunners/jf's for income different to your income in null hitting and looting bads there? That's right, it's not. You claim this as pvp, i see it as income. PvP means the target fights back, these said targets don't. YOU are claiming this is pvp for me, i'm saying it's income. I can mirror this directly to your income shooting bads in null; same ******* deal chump.
Instalocking frigates, shooting frigates/shuttles? lol. You didn't even bother to look at my killboard.
521 battleships killed 198 frigates killed Hell; i've nearly killed more JF's than i've killed frigates xD let alone if you consider the amount of ejected jf's i stole. Another claim laid to waste; lol.
I've never said anything regarding PL being solo pilots or bad; they operate on an entirely different field and playstyle. You can't compare PL to what we do, because the environment is completely different.
So to sum things up; Mr. Xolve, I don't think it's possible for you to be any more wrong. But please do try.

Now that would be fun as hell and would relish that fight. Then I saw another video where one guy took out a couple of pilots, and next thing he knew there was 25 of them on him with ECM and logi.
If any pvp is lame, its nullsec. But one day, I might just go ahead and scream 'BONZAI' and take a BS out to null just to get it blown up and see how many I can take with me. :)

P.S. No offense Rain, you are still my bud. Screaming about a miniture tree will scare them for sure! Even if what you meant was spelt wrong. I think you mean 'minature'. I actually meant miniature but the irony was lost on most! Thank you for correcting my spelling mistake. It was a long day at work.
This would cure me of the fear...

It's called the food chain.
NULL > Lowsec > High-sec
When a major alliance in Eve moves somewhere it creates a deadzone around their staging system. This usually turns into a region or two. Local entities either go inactive or they move away because they can't compete. The same effect happens when a major entity moves into a lowsec region. Even the larger groups like Snuff or Shadow Cartel will shut down super operations or move away so they can continue enjoy their version of dominance again.
Lets say an entity like Shadow Cartel, a large low-sec alliance, moved to Jita. On your best day you can form 20 vindicators, your purple macherial, and 10 nestors? Yes the fleet would be sufficient for high-sec but Shadow Cartel could bring the same fleet on their worst days for each timezone. Not only would their fleets boast superior numbers, each ship would be piloted by 1 person. As you all would be switching back and forth between your dps and your nestors alts SC would quickly be switching targets to confuse you while their logi pilots are solely focusing on their broadcast window. Furthermore whle your nestors are approaching your dps anchor SC's logi would be orbiting their DPS at 40-50km away from your guns.
In conclusion I do agree the tactics of high-sec mercs and low/null groups are different. While the low/null groups are seasoned in fleet engagements and positioning a high-sec group is conditioned to all be in docking/jump range.
By the way, have any of your pilots been on a winning alliance tournament team? |

Totally incomparable territories. If high-sec was as profitable as null-sec is with moons etc, then you would be in high sec with that whole bunch. All these Null > High statements are totally irrelevant to the topics that have been posted. If we needed more members, like you would in null, then we would be recruiting and filling the ranks. we quite frankly dont need a shitton of members to do whatever we want in high-sec.
And Xolve again; lifetime buddy, lifetime. You might notice my activity in-game has gone down allot in the recent two months; yet i've still killed more battleships than you have. whilst you have allot more total kills, those are mostly in frigates though, as youve killed 3x as many frigates as me. So again; totally out of context with ur frig/bs bullshit posts.

Dreads are the battleships of Null Sec, people just flat out barely use battleships out here (they die to bombs and get dumpstered by AHACs).

babyrage? i think i'm quite calmy trying to explain you how your comments are totally irrelevant/stupid. So again; if what you claim is true (which i doubt it is really), ur dread kill count is mega low opposite the rest. So why are you commenting on my battleship/frigate ratio (which is 3:1), whilst ur dread/battleship count is shite opposite ur frigate count. It just doesn't make sense. YOU, Mr. Xolve, don't make sense. |

The irony in all this is that high sec pvp is more akin to hunting deer, and null pvp is more akin to actual war, yet high sec pvpers focus ( except gankers) on wardecs, and null alliance could care less about wardecs.
I have seen many times where a null alliance will displace resident alliances in lowsec and NPC null with relative ease. Actually i think goons is doing it right now.
Null alliances could care less about high sec. However if even a mediocre pvp null alliance decided to invade high sec, they would completely own any part of it they choose too.
But back to the OPs original question with an authentic answer: The most successful highsec mercs would be the one that fights and wins against other high sec merc alliances. Who that would be? I have no clue, as no one really cares about what goes on in high sec anyway as long as jita stays stocked. |

Is that my main? Thanks for informing me. Any other characters you would like to claim on my behalf? I have multiple accounts like everyone else that lives in null. So feel free to keep wasting your time searching for possible alts of mine. Currently 42,190 characters on zkillboards. Good luck and happy hunting! Ill give you a hint: i am currently triple boxing in eve right now. Is that all of my accounts or do i have more? Your move, pawn.

TBH I suspect your corp's member list is a pretty accurate list of your active alts. None of them are particularly impressive. You mine ice and gate camp sporadically...wooo...big bad 0.0 guy eh?
I see people like you in high sec all the time, claiming that they are elite because they have alts all over 0.0. Oddly enough, when forced to rely only on themselves (without their giant fleets to hide behind) they are usually laughably bad at PvP. I've seen "elite 0.0" players lose 1v1 fights to legitimate carebears in high sec just because they aren't used to actually having to fight on their own.
I'm not saying there are not skilled PvPers in 0.0, who CAN fight anywhere they want and CHOOSE to fight in 0.0 because it has the best rewards for them. But I *AM* saying that living in 0.0 doesn't magically make you any better than anybody anywhere else. You can suck at EVE and still get by just fine in any of a thousand mediocre 0.0 corps who will never notice you hiding within their blobs. |

Not quite sure why a disorganized group that crumbled the first time real pressure was brought to bear on it would be considered "the best" ever...
But I guess they did kind of pioneer the modern hub-humping strategy?

Anslo left and we were given Lucas Kell, Lucas Kell went quite and we were given Veers, Veers became quite and now we have Dravaclad.

I'll be blunt.
None I consider being the best.
But as a recurring phenomenon I'd say those small temporary merc corps that pop up every now and then and wreck havoc for a couple weeks are the most memorable quality wise that I've faced (also some of the worst). Specially those that know how to farm individual wars efficiently for quality fights and not just blob in way to heavy scaring everyone off with mere presense and overwhelming firepower. Depending on why they got hired it might get the job done, but it don't exactly scream skill deserving of the best merc group ever since anyone can do it.
But I'm not a cli+˝nt type so I can't really say who in particular is or was the best. I can only judge from being on the receiving end of wardecs by merc groups. And some of those small ones seemed pretty good while they lasted.
The biggest obstacle you'll encounter doing anything is yourself.

I got wardecced by them a few times - never saw one in space because I didn't live anywhere near Jita or Amarr...so it wasn't particularly scary nor awe inspiring.
I'm sure they were terrifying if you undocked from jita into their sebo-ed insta-blapping fleet |

Yeah, Alpha Bar. They fell apart after Ace Gunnery's crew fell apart to.
Dodixie had a pretty good thing going in the Dodi Liberation channel, and the Dodixie Peace Fleets.

Most newer players won't remember many of the older groups, the game has changed so much over the years so it's hard to assess who is best.
For me the best merc group pound for pound was Cult of Cthulhu and later Omniscient Order. While CoC was a small group it was very well organised and at the time very innovative with ship setups/fleet comps. Omnor was built from the ashes of CoC and became a bit of a celebrity eve who's who with famous pilots such as Mitchman, Jamesw, Drunkenone, Noobjuice, Altai Seeker etc all flying under the banner.
I had some of my best times and fights flying with those crews and learned so much. There is a cool end video to Omnor here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHOyQ0k7jPA
I first flew against MC when they had a contract against Force of Evil, by that time they were expanding out of high sec and as Seleene and other old school MC guys will tell you it was to be their coming out party - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbVIM8fdog8
I joined them some time later when Eternity Inc was formed as the fifth corp, they were the most professional and organised group I've ever flown with and come a close second for me. I'm so glad they've reformed now as eve was missing a true powerhouse mercenary group, I'd love to fly with them again some time in the future.
As for current merc groups, I flew with CD awhile ago and have come across most of the current crop of empire mercs. While they all have their pro's and con's I don't think they carry the same WOW factor as the three groups I've mentioned above. Vendetta probably have the potential but aside from blops onto JF's don't seem to be overly active outside the Jita area (maybe that's changed as I've not been too active in the last six months). Would also add that in general they have good members but they also have one absolute utter t*** who Ifeel lets them down a bit. |

Greorik had a laugh with us after he jumped his curse in to engage then suddenly realized we switched primary to him.

how many other corp can say that

Jambo!
Coastguarding for one year bring great riches and many customers delighted with our traditional Somali services. In fact 5,424 customers contributed to our village fund.
Now time come to sell dinghies and take up other jobs. I buyed two new stud-beasts for my Hyena-breeding! Very costly beasts but my bitches like it heh! So this is my fortune now and I settle down with my captive women also.

Somali Coastguard Authority is a pretty good use of pop culture. It's edgy, relevant, and sets a lot of tone for people in the group and outside. And I'm not just saying this because the era of Somali Coastguard Academy I'm familiar with had Cannibal Kane as its personal benefactor, like some kind of orphanage for wee little Somali pirates.

Natural CloneKiller wrote:So throughout eve history who is the best high sec merc group to have existed and why?
I've had the pleasure of flying with or dying to many of the mercs out there in the game. Here's my list of those who have shaped the mercing game as we know it in High Sec ...
Alliances
1) Mercenary Coalition [MC]
AFAIK they were the actual first alliance that gathered PVPers under one banner to merc. They set the standard for mercing in-game and turned it into an actual business. They were professional, organized and would actually drop corps from the alliance to dispatch them for the client.
2) Privateer Alliance [PA]
The Original War Dec Alliance. Hated so much by CCP, a dev was quoted saying they were out to get rid of the alliance and their type of game play. CCP s[ecifically nerfed their style of play (P-NERF) making war dec costs compounding cost wise and thus hobbling war decs with astounding isk prices. Last war dec cycle before the nerf saw OVER 500 war decs
3) The 0rphanage [AD0PT]
War decing morphed into this alliance and station humping and trade route killing was mastered by these guys. Made famous for a kill that destroyed 74 PLEX (At the time about $1250 US). CLICKY
Corporations
1) m0o Corp [MOO]
CCP changed the game mechanics due to these guys. Their indiscriminate killing spree in yulai (Center of the game at that time) made them infamous. They were the first to tank gate guns. CCP upped gate gun damage and CONCORD response because of these pioneers.
2) Guiding Hand Social Club [GH-SC]
Made famous for espionage and theft, these guys stole 13 Billion isk in assets (At the time about $1600 US). CLICKY
3) Captain Morgan Society [EBII]
Probably one of the best small gang/Solo PVPers from the past.
EVERYONE comes to High Sec at one time or another ....

BAW imo..though there are many who follow closely. Alliances come and go..what's hard about choosing is most, at some point or another, have all had the same members. Mercs get around. Most merc players have been in most, if not all of the merc alliances/corps at one point. Except maybe Raz and Tearz..who have pretty much always been Devils.

The whole recruitment method was pay 50m a week and your corp joins, or you just join solo into MBALM. Not quite sure why a disorganized group that crumbled the first time real pressure was brought to bear on it would be considered "the best" ever... But I guess they did kind of pioneer the modern hub-humping strategy? I'll vote for Snatch Victory, with Break-A-Wish in a not too distant second place - Just based on my personal experience fighting assorted merc groups over the years, they were the scariest.
I would also go with Snatch Victory, but I am a bit biased. |
