You are good though. You are fantastic at station games, staying docked unless you have 3:1 numbers. So, actually, just like the average empire war deccer. But you are fun to talk to in local so + 1 for that.  I don't know who you are but I think you've got the wrong number. |

I just wanted to ask the guy exactly what fleet he'd be willing to engage. I mean, we flew 5 unsupported assault ships down to you guys and your mixed BC/BS gang ran away from it (although granted I did reship into a harbinger when we saw a dominix). I mean we straight up left the logistics at home and flew the smallest, least effective things we had and your dudes still bottled out.
That's a shameful display, even by the normal standards of highsec alliances. You should replace whoever was leading those guys with someone who can actually identify situations in which you are at an advantage. |

Awoxing is a form of quality assurance. It's easy to let some dumbass in to your corp because he has a huge pile of money and a dozen booster and logistics alts, but if he doesn't know the first thing about ship fitting, or the flagging mechanics and can't see a very obvious awox coming then he doesn't have any place in a highsec PVP corp and it's time for him to explode.
If you don't like it because it makes you think we're unscrupulous you're welcome to hire somebody else with lower standards and less mean spirited vindictiveness, but the quality of the service you get is obviously going to suffer as a result. |

We beat the everliving snot out of all of our recent contracts to the point where they quit fighting after a single engagement and spent the rest of the time we were at war with them sitting quietly in station sobbing to themselves.
So probably you want to hire us if you want a few absurdly effective people to relentlessly hound someone until their corp or alliance ceases to function or their "Main FC" (I use the term loosely) quits the game because he lost a 20 man fleet to 3 guys.
I honestly don't know why you'd hire any other highsec merc alliance unless you desperately need a trade hub camping, because we're not going to help you with that. |

I think our total lack of professionalism in this thread might give people the impression that we're just a bunch of weirdos. While we are pretty strange we are actually very effective at killing all kinds of junk, be it entire mining ops in dead end systems with a scout posted one out, dickstar POS towers or other merc alliances.
Recently we made both Failed Diplomacy and Whores In Space look really dumb when they became involved in wars with us of their own free will then we killed a bunch of their stuff.
So yes, pay us your money and will we make the object of your hatred explode to the best of our ability, and our abilities are about as extensive as they get for highsec mercs. |

There is a discount available for recurring customers that increases with for each additional recurrence after a certain point. We also are willing to negotiate alternative payment options for clients who can't pay up front under special circumstances.
But no, we don't give discounts to people just because they are chill bros, or because the target is likely to drop expensive loot. All clients pay standard rates unless they qualify for the previously stated discount. |

Recently we have learned that faction warfare people are awful at highsec and their response to highsec PVP is either to fit up some terrible shield thing and instantly explode as soon as you lock them or do anything you can possibly imagine to try and avoid anyone shooting at them in what they percieve to be a "non-PVP zone" like fitting enormous numbers of stabs or flying 15 jumps into a camped lowsec gate and dying rather than fighting their highsec hostiles who were right next door.
So we're definitely willing to accept contracts against FW people. It's astonishing how funny those dudes are. |

I'm frankly surprised that bored people with too much disposable isk don't hire highsec mercs to screw with eachother/random people for entertainment.
It's standard practice when someone contacts you with a contract you don't really want to do to give a really outlandish quote assuming that the potential client will be deterred by it, the "Aww crap" moment comes when they agree to pay the outlandish fee and now you have to do some terrible crap.
Another good idea would be to set up a really horrifying deathstar POS in highsec,hire one really large, reputable merc alliance to take it down, hire another, less effective group to defend it, a third group to shoot at the defenders and then man the guns yourself.
When people post "I have loads of money what should I do?" threads I'm always either aghast that they couldn't think of anything, or convinced they must not be nearly rich enough to finance that kind of entertaining bizz. The war reports alone would be extremely funny, plus highsec mercs hate fighting eachother because it sucks for a variety of reasons but will often still do it to maintain their reputations. |

That seems unlikely. Unwillingness to engage targets in highsec is a pretty uniform trait among people that primarily play in pretty much any kind of space bar wormholes.
Anyway, it's unlikely that we'll be putting it to the test any time soon. We're currently based out of Nourvukaiken and the locals are of a distinctly caldari nature. |

I'd really rather see less of them, they're really obnoxious and stupid with poor language skills, really like racist and homophobic epithets and they whine endlessly when you blow them up/declare war on them/sit in space suspect flagged/send them duel invites.
Basically they never shut up whining about everything you do but are totally unwilling and unable to do anything about it.
They remind my a lot of miners. Except mining corps usually try and kill you when you declare war on them. |

Once upon a time the "Raccoon suit" Was an actual ship that Tysinger flew. Lot's of people lost ships to the Raccoon suit.
These days the ships smaller than pirate faction battleships we fly around in typically come with subsystems and deadspace modules, so the Raccoon suit doesn't get very much use. |

We theoretically run on a "live and let live" policy towards other mercs wherein we try and avoid becoming involved in their business without due cause. However recently some other mercs have made it apparent that they interested in that kind of arrangement.
Subsequently we have been implementing various corrective actions. Our current war status with Marmite is an example of one such corrective action.
At this point it should be fairly clear that poking your nose into our business is not a good course of action. |

If we were trying to pad our killboard in an expensive way, it would be trivial to do it in a really safe, convincing way by building some super expensive mission boats, putting them in random highsec corps and then blowing them up with suspect flagged characters. Nobody would bat an eyelid at that and we wouldn't have to put any assets in to lowsec to do it.
That particular incident was so bizarre it defies explanation, I have no idea why the hell that guy kept warping every capital he had straight at us even though we had already blown up several. If a russian speaking person wants to contact him and figure it out then you're welcome to. There are only two explanations I can really think of, either the characters were bought by someone not very smart with near zero experience and was just doing stupid ****, or he was intentionally getting every ship he had blown up for some unknown reason (which is supported by the fact he later lost a crapton of subcapital ships to Norther Associates in the same system).
Personally I'm upset that people think we'd be so indiscreet about KB padding. Frankly, if we were actually doing it, you wouldn't know about it. |

There's nothing about the appearance of our killboard to fix, we probably have one of the most consistent color schemes out there and pink and purple are the best colors.
When The Filthy Few joined there were objections about the killboard not being being "serious internet spaceships" enough. However, eventually they learned to stop worrying and embrace the power of unicorns. |

Today a potential client threw a hissy fit when he was informed that dropping all of our wars to focus on a single group was not a reasonable request without considerable compensation.
Later on we killed a 17 billion isk faction battleship from the group he wanted us contracted against. He could have had that kill on his war report but instead he doesn't because he threw a tantrum in a chat channel.
Good going there. |

Today we padded our killboard by putting together a highsec POS tower with an alt corp, declaring war on it then getting our director alt in a C6 wormhole corp to ally in to the war as a defender, logging in 35 ishtar alts, flying them out of the wormhole into highsec, staging a fight using isboxer and then killing our own POS. We even logged in like twenty RvB alts to come shoot our neutrals to make it look super convincing.
Literally everything we do is an elaborate hoax. In fact about 30% of the characters in the game are secretly our alts. |

The important parts are Yuller raging, Adriel noticing that Yuller is just shooting whatever he feels like and adriel getting super weird at the end. Any ultra secret squirrel comms can just have Korean pop music over it (I suggest 2NE1). |

RVB essentially had a leadership problem, a really, really bad leadership problem, but because they have a predetermined thing that they do that is sustainable so long as there are no new external factors they managed to coast on in spite of that.
When we showed up we put pressure on them that required serious decision making and problem solving ability that just wasn't present. The result was once their pre-existing responses of "throw old fleet doctrines at them" they had nothing else left and the failure cascade ensues. |

It's going to be interesting to find out exactly what they're trying to do with their POCOs. They seem to be trying to transfer their ownership somewhere, but there's no obvious final destination, which is leading me to believe someone might br trying to nab a few weeks of POCO income for their personal wallet, the other explanation would be that theres another large group (the obvious candidate would be brave since they seem to be all over rvb).
We weren't initially particularly interested in them but RVB have been willing to screw over there members super hard to avoid losing them, so obviously they're worth taking, even if only to deprive them of it. |

Despite overwhelming manpower their leadership wasn't able to organize and motivate a nearly 8000 man community to defend assets from and win fights against a group of twenty human beings.

Bleedingthrough wrote: Honest question: I donGÇÖt understand your obsession with highsec? Do carebears pay that well and/or drop good loot? I would think that good fights are rare and content hard work.
there's lots of reasons. As a mercenary because highsec is where the vast majority of the demand is and because it's a predictable environment which is obviously better as an income source.
Personally it's because I think that's where creation of conflict is most needed. Highsec is boring, largely because CCP have been pandering to carebears to make highsec more and more boring for years (without any actual positive effect). If you're going to be a instigate violence you should do it in highsec where it's visible to people who otherwise may not be exposed to it, that way they might actually become engaged with the game, rather than mining or running missions until they get bored and unsub.
Also because there's nowhere else in the game I've ever found people who after the fact I thought really needed yo have their sandcastles kicked over, you get these crazy little micro-dictators and individuals with delusions about their own level of significance and it is your sacred duty to demonstrate the "bigger fish" principle to them.
The hatemail and spy revealed alliance mails are ******* outstanding.

If that is true, then this statement seems impossible: 'We are mostly hired by peasants to fight wars against other peasants.' (It's not an exact quote, but it's somewhere in the thread).
What I mean to say is, ff the mercs corps are blue to each other, is it possible even for them to take contracts and combat each other for clients? Or is the statement about most of them being blue to each other not right? Can merc corps fight each other and get ISK and fun from fighting?
Exactly how much do you think a random guy who is totally uninvolved with highsec mercenaries beyond trying, and failing, to hire some actually knows about who has who set blue?
The answer is pretty much nothing.
The reality is that some mercs have some other mercs set blue and that the blue status isn't even necessarily mutual. You can absolutely pay mercenaries to shoot at each other, the thing is it's going to cost you an arm and a leg since the level of risk involved is in shooting at people who can drop ten vindicators on the station undock you live in on a moments notice is extremely high compared to chasing off some 5 man corp that has been shooting your POCO in oracles.
It's vastly more profitable to take a large number of low risk contracts against people who don't pose a serious threat than it is to fight a group of equivalent strength. Hence when you ask you get the response "sorry they're blue" even when they aren't actually blue. |

It was Sue Abbot's citadel. It was also destroyed without any resistance whatsoever because Sue, being a known genius, put the windows right after downtime because obviously nobody will shoot it then, even though Sue doesn't log in in that TZ.
