and so it begins

Lol it's nice to see PL squiiirrrmm :)

I don't see this as squirming. PL would be buying mercs if they were truly squirming. This is simply starting a new trend. I could see a large number of big alliances allowing free allies. It gives the larger alliance free help and let's lesser know mercs start to build up killboards.

Will you give out isk prizes to allies for every 10 kills? That would be really neat.

Gee, if only someone had said that maybe this whole unlimited free allies for the defender was going to end up EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

What is the problem with it? Maybe unlimited free allies will make some high sec gankbears think twice before starting wars against industrial corps?

Someone is trying break up the tech cartel and you want to pay people to help you defend your cartel's trade routes?

lol

Seriously, "oh noes, people will be able to use the sandbox correctly to defend themselves instead of being artificially limited and vulnerable"

HELLO NEW WAR DEC MECHANICS, IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.


If you're a merc corp looking for a super cheap (see: free) war-dec against a large alliance, look no further.

In their attempts to break up the Technetium Cartel, -A- has declared war on Pandemic Legion. This allows them to shoot our towers in low-sec without losing sec status, because apparently that's important to them.

As a limited time offer, apply with your corporation or alliance to be an ally of Pandemic Legion in the "Pandemic Legion vs. AGAINST ALL AUTHORITIES" war, with an offer of zero ISK to provide assistance. You will be accepted at the nearest convenience of one of our directors, and are free to shoot -A- as much as you'd like.

As long as the war stays non-mutual (which we intend to keep that way), we will accept any allies looking for a massive bloc of targets to shoot at. There is no capacity on the number of allies we can accept.

If you're a new mercenary corporation looking to make a name for yourself, or an old one looking for good times, apply to be our allies today!

Edit: En Garde also has a non-mutual war against us, if you want to apply as an ally in that war as well. If you wish to participate in both wars, you must apply as an ally separately for each.

Posting in a PL can't defend their tech thread.

PL is affraid of -A-. Why you ask? Because they don't have the numbers to defend their tech and they can't use Titans in low sec.

Don't cry sandbox when the aggressor is just as artificially limited as the defender used to be.

Which part of OPEC you don't get? When PL towers get ****** with GSF and NC. will come to help. PL is offering highsec gankers free wardec on -A- so you can gank them at JITA 4-4 business as usual.

So.... lets for argument sake I join PL as an ally and fight AAA. If I decide after two weeks to change my mind how do I withdraw this generous support? Or do I have to sit it out until the war ends.

This is a Gen question, no troll I'm trying to fully understand the new war mechanics. lol

It's not hard to defend your tech when -A- blow up the tower, but leave grid long enough for you to online and anchor a new one

So why the thread? ;)

Right now - allies are "once in, forever in" (until that particular wardec ends).

Sell alliance or fold it back into goons... After the botting ban, 1/2 (or more) of PL can't fight.

what

Great, here come all the wannabe highsec mercs that seem to think that station camping is the only way to get good kills. While it may overall be a good "deterrent" for decs, one of the biggest issues with sharing decs is sharing decs with other groups that don't understand the ins and outs of highsec pvp.

I'm all for the option to bring mercenaries into the war. I'm against it being completely free, and I'm definitely against it favoring ONLY the defender. Two possibilities for making it more balanced:


2) Allow the aggressor to bring in one ally for every two the defender hires. This creates an escalation of warfare rather than allowing the defender to simply overwhelm the aggressor.



Don't cry sandbox when the aggressor is just as artificially limited as the defender used to be.

Aliens

PL can't defend their tech. They also couldnt take on s2n so they had to batphone TEST. Face it, PL is a thing of the past. Rotting like the NC did. Its just a matter of time before they start to cascade.

Ok, well then this is the twitch before the squirming starts :P

All the same to me.

I see little, yet I see PL's future... It's black in it's entirety, as if absent of reality. What could have been done weighed against what was done, and has been done, without you. So black, so cold is your future.

Right now - allies are "once in, forever in" (until that particular wardec ends).

The devs have stated in recent posts on the forums that they are going to look at putting in weekly renewals of ally contracts as a priority. But no promises or ETA.

Once in forever in............
Does that mean i can dec my altcorp with my other altcorp, get some allies and have a neverending war against them?

I like that idea because I was just thinking about the exact same one

srsly why can't the aggressor call on its allies if the defender calls on their allies, isn't that how politics actually works?

Just think of the big wars it would cause

PL can't take on S2N? The 99 Percent is taking over joint S2N/RA sov. And we're doing it with 20-50 man guerilla fleets. If anything, it's nulli whose ****** up, since they're seemingly having trouble resisting a small alliance of former highsec scrubs.
