Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.26 08:43:00 - [1] Edited by: Seleene on 26/07/2005 08:44:10 In between going through various contract offers and such, I find that I have some extra time on my hands every now and then. Seeing as how these "Ask" threads are all the rage, I figured I'd do one myself. So, if there is anything you'd like to know about being a mercenary, myself, my corp or the MC's fabulous sandwiches, feel free to post it here and I'll reply as soon as I can. EDIT - Don't ask me for any quotes. We have a website for that. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Fred0	Posted - 2005.07.26 08:51:00 - [2] Do you get alot of fanmail? Also, I have some females that needs taking care of. Can I rent only Masken and Bamsefar?
Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.26 09:03:00 - [3] Edited by: Seleene on 26/07/2005 09:03:37 Originally by: Fred0 Do you get alot of fanmail? Actually, I do, so much so that I tend to not pay much attention to my mailbox while on contract. I typically try to go through it once every couple of weeks and clean it out. Some people just want to say "Hi, liked your last vid!" and such. Others ask about joining BDCI or the MC. Sometimes people will even send me intelligence against our current contract target. Overall, I'd say I get mails from at least three people a day I've never heard of and a dozen I know. About once a month I will get a threat / OMGCANILICKYOURTOES mail which causes me to doubt the sanity of the sender. I try to answer people as much as possible, but sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day. Originally by: Fred0 Also, I have some females that needs taking care of. Can I rent only Masken and Bamsefar? Masken has problems relating to other people. He tends to just think of people as "Red" and "Not Red". It's a long process. Good luck with holding a conversation with him. As for Bams, you've got to find him first. I think Leafo keeps him locked in a basement somewhere and only lets him out when he needs something with the CEO's signature on it. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Crayathan	Posted - 2005.07.26 09:15:00 - [4] Have you ever held back from killing someone? because you felt sorry for them? Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil
Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.26 09:24:00 - [5] Originally by: Crayathan Have you ever held back from killing someone? because you felt sorry for them? Umm... nope. Well, there was this one time I was in a belt attacking a XETIC Dominix in my Deimos. I was using rails and the Domi was mining all by himself. I remember thinking that this had to be the saddest kill ever because the guy didn't even have combat drones out and his comments in local made it pretty clear he was clueless about the harsh realities of life in space. Then I got a wrecking hit with one of my guns (\o/), forgot all that sentimental crap and swung my camera drone around behind him so I could capture the best angle of his ship exploding. - We're outnumbered!

Mak'lor Duab	Posted - 2005.07.26 09:33:00 - [6] Do you not feel that you are lowest of the low, killing people for money that may be innocent or may themselves infact be the victims of a horrible regime of terror (a little extreme but ... y'know), or is it only money that matters?

Anyho, if ya'll excuse me, i have to refuel and rearm my ships as I have a short appointment with a Guritas patrol fleet. grins and heads to the hanger bay Wirykomi Team Racer - COLOSSUS Championships Year 106

Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.26 11:35:00 - [12] Originally by: Mak'lor Duab Do you not feel that you are lowest of the low, killing people for money that may be innocent or may themselves infact be the victims of a horrible regime of terror (a little extreme but ... y'know), or is it only money that matters? Don't take offence I'm just interested. No offense taken and, yes, it is only the money that matters. There is likely some debate in the EVE community as to if mercenaries or pirates are "lower". Of course I would say pirates, and here is why: Any fool can hop into a Blackbird or similar ship and start blowing people up for no reason. A great number of skilled pilots sometimes decide that sitting 100km off of a gate and blasting industrial ships apart is a productive use of their time. You see, pirates do this sort of thing because it's thier version of fun. Mercenaries don't go after people indiscriminately. Our wrath is focused on a set number of targets and we rarely deviate from those. We don't murder simply because we have the ability to murder and we don't sit around at the bar swapping stories about the convoy of refugees that we raped and pillaged. Not all pirates are bad, though. Some pirate corps are more akin to modern day train robbers than murdering thugs. Still, at least with mercs you don't have to try to figure out what kind of people we are; we are either shooting at you or we aren't. There's no middle ground that allows us to have a bad day and just go on a murderous rampage. Lastly, when you consider the many reasons that people use to justify killing one another, what makes earning a paycheck for it that much more evil than anyone else? One of my newest members, ex-PIE Fleet Admiral Golan Trevise can speak to this with some authority. He used to kill for religion. Now he kills for money. Which is worse? Originally by: Camar What are YOU looking for in a pilot? Teamwork. We don't look for veteran pilots with years of experience. We don't look for superstars or names; we've turned down some pretty famous people. We look for personality and ambition. We look for potential ability and the desire to be the best at a chosen profession no matter what. Originally by: Discorporation I swear, these Q&A threads are getting on my nerves. Discorp is boring Doesn't want to share his thoughts Would rather sleep late. Originally by: Trooper B99 Quote: I swear, these Q&A threads are getting on my nerves.

Well, I have the time because my directors do such a fine job of taking some of the every day crap off of my shoulders. I take it you are finished with everything in your inbox, Trooper, and that's why you are here?? Originally by: Weebear Why was the sandwich thread locked? Was it the best thread ever on eve-o?

It certianly seemed to be a good discussion and, yes, it's pretty much my favorite! - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Fred0	Posted - 2005.07.26 12:35:00 - [13] If you are looking for teamwork and ambition in people. Don't feel that is abit paradoxical in terms of being such a strong collective. There is hardly room for MC pilots to stand out and do the gung ho Tank CEO routine and get duly noticed for it to the same extent, or is there? In line with that. who's MC's biggest ego guy/gal? And how do you spank people that do stupid stuff so that they don't do it again? Last, don't you think that these threads are thinly veiled attempts at getting recruitment/advertising posts to another forum because the recruitment forums are spammed to hell?
Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.26 13:08:00 - [14] Edited by: Seleene on 26/07/2005 13:08:20 Originally by: Fred0 If you are looking for teamwork and ambition in people. Don't feel that is abit paradoxical in terms of being such a strong collective. There is hardly room for MC pilots to stand out and do the gung ho Tank CEO routine and get duly noticed for it to the same extent, or is there? Hmmà it seems to me like you answered your own question. Our pilots don't tend to do much solo stuff. However while most of the EVE community may not know who some of our 'superstars' are, we do internally and that's usually good enough for our pilots. Originally by: Fred0 In line with that. who's MC's biggest ego guy/gal? Ego? A tie between Eyeshadow and Generatorn. It's all good natured, but they are damn good and they know it. Originally by: Fred0 And how do you spank people that do stupid stuff so that they don't do it again? Who told you about Drax's Vagabond?? My guns were stuck! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Originally by: Fred0 Last, don't you think that these threads are thinly veiled attempts at getting recruitment/advertising posts to another forum because the recruitment forums are spammed to hell? I can see how it might be seen that way, but in all honesty we don't really have any problems with recruitment. I just liked what Verone the Ebil Pirate was doing in his thread and figured people might be interested in learning a bit about the other side of the coin is all. - We're outnumbered!

SpaceDrake Storyteller	Posted - 2005.07.26 15:22:00 - [15] Would you ever consider taking some relative newbies in if they were dedicated players and knew each other in real life, so they could easily work together? -------------- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?

Originally by: Xav Vorbarra Best moment as a Mercenary? I won't say the guy's name because...well, you'll see. Recently I was in a shuttle going to pick up my Harpy. I forgot to use my insta for a jump and so I come out at the gate 15 km out. There is a war target Blackbird there sitting about 10km off the gate with sensor booster running. He's sitting still and I'm playing the odds a bit that maybe I can get to the gate in time but I'm ready to warp the hell out of there. Then all of a sudden he accelerates and goes into warp! I could only assume that he thought I was in something more powerful than a shuttle, which he confirmed by evemail a short time later. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!

Brgds, Liu <3 I'd fly an EW Indy with a 1600mm armor plate outside the station and tell the story about about you, the sheep and the warp core stab BPO in local. Then I'd lock your ass down and have 20 MC warp in and gank you. Or... Maybe I'd just ask if you wanted a fight. Originally by: Sforza Dear Seleene, Is Golan still having the "OH CR*P ITS GOLAN!" effect that he used to have on Ushra'Khan pilots? I'm not sure. No one has said anything in local yet. Typically there are flashes of light, an explosion and a lot of silence afterward. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!

No though most old time Podpilots are familiar with my person my reputation has not travelled to the godless places i dwell in these days, wich is good in my current profession..... However i am sure some has said after encountering my well drilled gunnerycrews and the merciless light of Amarrian lasers. Even more so will they utter the "OH CRP ITS GOLAN!" when they in a very short while encounter the TES Leviathan currently being build for me.

Seleene	Posted - 2005.07.31 07:10:00 - [33] Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari Dear Seleene, One vs one fight. Harpy vs Enyo. Which do you want to be piloting? Despite the fact that I've never tested it, I have my own very strong opinion. What's yours? That's not easy. TBH, it would completely depend on the respective set-ups of the ships. IMO, if the Harpy is running a Gisti shield booster, then it's going to pound the Enyo to scrap 9 times out of 10. Even if not... I'm a total Harpy fan anyway. I've never run into anything that made me nervous except for this one PA guy in a Wolf that raped me pretty bad. We both warped out at almost the same time with hardly any armor left. So it's kind of hard for me to give an ojective answer. I have a lot of corp mates that can fly Enyos, but the last time we went out we had five Harpys in the squad. - We're outnumbered!

Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.01 05:25:00 - [37] Edited by: Seleene on 01/08/2005 05:27:00 Originally by: Nasub Hanau What is the biggest amount of isk your corp has recieved for a contract, also what was the biggest contract you have had, as in corp size and toughness ? I cannot answer the first question as it would violate a lot of laws and, as everyone knows, the only thing more dangerous than a mercenary is a lawyer. As for the second question... The 'biggest' contract we've had would have had to be against XETIC. In terms of sheer size and area covered, that was a bloodbath. It was a very busy time. The 'toughest' contract we've had would probably have to go to the original 'VOTF' contract BDCI & FRICK had last year. Back when EternalDark was running the show, every big fight we had was a roll of the dice. There was lots of action and it was well fought almost every time. Originally by: danneh How much do you charge a week for the full 4 corps?. LINKAGE Click there, sir. Originally by: Verone Dearest Seleene, How do you manage to uphold the lifestyle of such a ruthless and sucessful mercenary, yet remain as attractive, lovely and downright sexeh as you are? Probably your biggest outlaw fan... Verone of Teh Sniggles Well, I work out quite a lot for one thing. Being a pod pilot one tends to get cramped up so I find it invigorating to go for a nice run late in the day. A healthy diet is important in this regard, but you won't find me endorsing some nonsense 'food plan' or 'diet' anytime soon. I also make it a policy that 'downtime' in between contracts allows myself and my people a chance to unwind and relax so that we are fresh and ready for action when the next job comes along. Mostly though, I just try to stay above the politics of EVE. Good mental health goes hand in hand with physical health. As shown at the end of the last MC promotional video, we always try to look on the bright side of life. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2005.08.01 21:45:00 - [38] Dear Seleene, Has the MC, or any of the member corporations, ever accepted a contract that went so badly that you considered it a defeat or a loss? If this ever happened, would you ever terminate the contract early, or would you continue fighting to the death until the end of the contract? Would you refund the fee? ___________________________________________ ^^^*---All things serve the Beam---*^^^ GDBT is recruiting!
Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.01 22:23:00 - [39] Edited by: Seleene on 01/08/2005 22:23:39 Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari Dear Seleene, Has the MC, or any of the member corporations, ever accepted a contract that went so badly that you considered it a defeat or a loss? No. To my knowledge we have never "lost" a war. It's a relative thing though. To us, "winning" means a happy client. To most people though, it means getting a high kill-ratio against the enemy. To date, we have always succeded in both catagories. The only expection was FRICK's 'Burn Eden' contract. It was a three day numerical draw, which always seems to equate to a massive victory in Burn Eden's opinion every time the subject comes up. Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari If this ever happened, would you ever terminate the contract early, or would you continue fighting to the death until the end of the contract? Would you refund the fee? We would never pull out of a contract so long as our client wished us to continue. While we have no 'money-back guarentee', if a client ever rightly felt we had performed below expectations, it's entirely possible that we might return all or part of our fee. This has never happened though as we take a lot of pride in our job and all of us work very hard to give our clients a reason to smile at the end. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!

If someone did want a war "test" against their own corporation/alliance they could set ground rules for the war like mutual no-podding or a full on fight to the death etc etc. As sel said though, nothing has come of any contacts regarding that though feel free to contact us at the following holo-portal.

Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.03 07:00:00 - [52] Originally by: Nathan Grey It's been asked of the traders, it's been asked of the industrialist... how has business changed with the cutting of the highways, and the 0.0 linkage? The biggest issue is one of distance, of course. It's forced us to go into smaller, more mobile ships. While this has always been our prefered method, it's still required a few adjustments. Unlike many, however, the MC has never been localized to any one area of Empire. We are used to making a dozen or more jumps to go after a single target so, at least mentally, it hasn't really affected us as much as I first thought it would. Our pilots have adapted well to the new changes and we are doing fine. Originally by: Shin Ra Would you accept a contract vs BURN EDEN again? Assuming there was a place in our contract schedule to hit a single corp, of course. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Kiyirari	Posted - 2005.08.03 09:39:00 - [53] Dear Seleene, I am considering a career change to merc in the near future, what is the best advice you can offer for a potental new merc ? 1. Is it best to specialize in a ship type eg AF or HAC ? 1a. Is it best to be able to pilot mutli race ship types ? 2. To have a wide range of skills to fit various mods ? 2a. To have high lvl skills 4 and above ? Any other advice would be greatly apriecated P.s Could you possible recommended some professional merc corps of a Non-pirating nature, as these i consider the best way to go for a new career. Do ya spit or do ya swallow ?

AF's and HACs are the mainstay of the modern merc force these days. I would suggest picking one racial path and maxing it out before switching to a different one. I was late in specializing and it's taken me extra time to get up to the same level as some of my corp mates who chose a dedicated racial career path earlier. Just remember that most professional merc outfits are team-oriented. It's rare that you will fly alone and if there is a hole in your skills, chances are that someone else can fill it when it's time to go hunting. I would recommend a corp such as Battle Angels INC. if you want to get in on the start of something good or KIA if you'd rather join a more established unit. AFAIK, FRICK is not recruiting ATM and BDCI has gone back to an invite only policy after having taken almost a dozen new pilots onboard in the last few months. Good luck to you! - We're outnumbered!

Sarkos	Posted - 2005.08.12 11:41:00 - [57] Hello Seleene, Do you believe, as I do, that the day of the Battleship being the do-all of a modern fleet has past? As a specialized Cruiser pilot, I find the Cruiser, both HAC and T1 with a good selection of mods is now the most commonly used ship type. Add in AF's and Inty's and you have a highly mobile, highly efficient strike force. In my opinion BS's are now used for sniper ambush situations mostly. What are your views? Sarkos Either free the slaves or we will come and get them.

Liberia	Posted - 2005.08.13 17:22:00 - [60] Seleene, As one of your biggest fans and a fledgling Mercenary can you tell me what limits you place on yourself and your corp when it comes to fulfilling a contract? Do you do only pvp or would you do infiltration, corp theft, POS theft, morale destruction, etc? How do you feel about these other GHSC style methods (my new corp is using these as we speak). Also how often do you turn down contracts? I realize your calendar is full with contracts but what other reasons do you turn down contracts for besides capacity? Liberia Deathwalkers
Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.16 12:16:00 - [61] Wow... didn't realize this was still going. I'll have to catch up! Originally by: danneh How much is ISS paying you to fight us?, i have heared u charge 3b a week, i have heard you get payed per kill. I'm sure you can understand that I am not allowed to discuss such things. Quote: Do you think you can stop us from killing ISS? We did. At the very least, we distracted you to the point where your kills went from 35+ a day to barely 5-10. That's a win for the client against a skilled corp like yours. Quote: How will u share ur time since u have multiple contracts at this moment? We do not take on more than we think we can handle. Quote: I heard u did a 38 man logoff in Murethand the other day? Well, first of all, I'm not familiar with that system name. Second, the largest MC gang I've commanded in the past few weeks was 25 and that was in TEW against an ASCN fleet this past Saturday night. BTW, we have a lot of respect for your corp. Your CEO seems to be very honest and professional. Your pilots actually came out to fight us and stood thier ground when we brought the fight to you. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.16 12:26:00 - [62] Originally by: Sarkos Hello Seleene, First of all, Sarkos, let me just say that I'm a long time fan of yours. Congrats on your longevity in the game and for your accomplishments with Ushra'Khan. Quote: Do you believe, as I do, that the day of the Battleship being the do-all of a modern fleet has past? For Empire warfare, yes. For 0.0, maybe. 1 on 1, I'll take a HAC over most any BS. Unless the BS is set up with NOS to specifically ruin your day, chances are that he's going to die. A group of Harpys and Wolfs are also one of the most deadly 'roming squads around'. Battleships really only have a place in one of my fleets when the enemy starts to outnumber us 2-1 and have a few BS of thier own. At that point, I'll break out the metal to help even the odds. Back to your original question, I actually had a chance to test your opinion in reality this past weekend. We attacked a group of nine enemy BS with a mixed group of cruisers and frigs. We only had a few HACs, a couple Throaxes, and a few Intys and Assault Frigs. It was a 16-17 man gang and we dove right into the middle of nine angry BS. The end result? We lost about half our ships but took out five BS and thier three support craft. I'm not sure I'd call that a win, but it sure as hell was FUN! - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!
Seleene	Posted - 2005.08.16 12:31:00 - [63] Originally by: Robotek Hybrid Dear seleene, t2 fitted tempest or t2 fitted mega OMG... Well, I'm a Gal Girl at heart TBH. I love my T2 Mega dearly and have seen what a group of four-six of them can do. The advantage of the Mega, IMO, is that it's got a great ability to engage at range and do DoT that a Tempest cannot. However, having said that, several pilots in the MC are max skill Tempest pilots and watching a group of them take out another BS in one volley is surely a sight to see. So, I can't really answer your question. I love my Mega dearly, but once I finish training to be better with drones (going to get a Carrier when they become available), my next project is to advance my projectile gun skills again so I can be part of the MC Tempest Gank Squad as well. - We're outnumbered!

I've been trying to encourage my newer pilots to go for T2 specialization rather than focus too much on cruisers, but I'd love to hear your input. I have two words for you: THORAX - A plated blaster-rax and its drones still spell doom for 80% of the ships in EVE with the right pilot flying the ship. MALLER - Can be set up with plates, NOS and small guns to completely wreck a frigate force, and doesn't do too bad against larger ships as well due to the ability to shrug off an incredible amount of damage. Each ship is never to be underestimated and both cost less to build / buy and equip than most interceptors or assault frigs. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!

PvP - Yes. More flashing red, please. Infiltration - Yes. Spies are a part of war. Spies 4TW. Corp Theft - No. Just not something we do. POS Theft - Assuming this means the destruction of the POS, yes. Morale Destruction - when corps start leaving an alliance two and three at a time per night, I'd say this is a YES. Quote: Also how often do you turn down contracts? Almost every day. This is usually due to a scheduling conflict. Quote: I realize your calendar is full with contracts but what other reasons do you turn down contracts for besides capacity? Hmm... Well, because someone thinks that they need 150 pilots to chase down a four man pirte corp. Also, there are a few corps in eve (no one famous) that we have agreements with who have given us financial reasons to consider any contract levied agaisnt them very carefully. - We're outnumbered!

From time to time we have players apply or show interest and we make an exception based upon how they present themselves both in private and in public. We aren't interested in fame or skills. We are more interested in the personality of a pilot. Based upon these factors, an applicant is granted an initial voice interview with our recruiting officer. If that goes well, then a "potential" is granted access to a special BDCI forum called "The Grill" where for roughly seven days they are subjected to all manner of fun and innovative questioning. After The Grilling is done, the corp takes a vote, which usually tends to be nearly unanimous one way or the other. - We're outnumbered! That simplifies the problem!

I recently confirmed this through personal experience. I took on one of these piloted by an old enemy (not just in terms of how long I've had him on K.O.S., but in terms of experience, he's been flying longer than almost anybody I know) in my Harpy. I made two big mistakes...first, I didn't coordinate the warp-in quite well enough with the two other ships I had with me...then, due to overview lag, when I warped in I thought I was far away from him so I neglected to immediately afterburn away from him. It was a bit late when I realized I'd warped in RIGHT on top of him...too close for my 150's to hit well...perfect for his blasters. All I can say is OUCH! As do Jonsemann and Teca. I'm plotting for the next round, any advice? ___________________________________________ ^^^*---All things serve the Beam---*^^^ GDBT is recruiting!
