There would appear to be quite a number of mercenary outfits out there these days, and being a potential shopper I was curious as to which outfits are the best of the best, the crŞme de la crŞme, the squads that really separate the men from the boys. When I part with my hard-earned cash I want to know it's being spent well. I have a couple of names that I've snatched out of conversations here and there and of course from browsing these very forums. Let me know what you think:
The MC: These fellas would appear to be the numero uno when it comes to blanket destruction, often complimenting their latest contract with sexily made films dripping with bravado and masculinity.
GH-SC: Wicked, wicked fellas that's for sure. I came across that article in PC Gamer and I couldn't stop grinning. Are they really as effective as their PR makes them out to be?
KIA: Pure unflinching adrenaline. These guys appear to exude raw power, charging into battle like a pack of axe-wielding Vikings. A big turn on, but how good are they in a stand-up fight?
Battle Angels: Mmmm, I love the name. I hadn't heard of these heavenly creatures until quite recently when they were linked with the MC on operations in Geminate. Do they mean business?
Cult Of Cthulhu: What an odd name, but I most certainly enjoy their posts and films, and they would appear to have an impeccable reputation that precedes them wherever they may roam.
Tell me what you think. Argue, bicker and debate; I want to know more about these soldiers dressed in black.

GH-SC don't really do all that infiltration stuff. All that really happened during the Ageis hit was Istvaan sent out a couple of strongly worded EVE mails

i wouldnt count KIA in, they have shown themselves to be very lame by asking for 1v1 and then call in their buddies.
they should disband and hide in npc corps for a long time until noone remembers them.
if you need small or big destruction on your enemies with some degree of quality service i would say MC as they can do small contracts with big ones as well.

whether you have heard of a corp or not dosent mean they are or aren't effective and there isnt that great a difference between mercs and pirates, pirates kill because they like the addreneline rush of killing and they like making money, same reason the mercs go out taking contracts, for the rush of killing and to make money...

Their numbers sure are impressive. If their rates reflect the fact they firmly assert themselves as the best pvp group in the game, they may be quite costly though

In case you don't bother to keep up with events, the particular person who sullied KIA's name with that event is no longer there.
You'll find few CEOs ingame who are stricter than Eddz on ettiquete in wartimes.
Originally by: Malken they should disband and hide in npc corps for a long time until noone remembers them.
And who are you anyway?
To the OP.
I'd say MC are the best place to start. They're by far the biggest merc unit and certainly the richest.
KIA, CoC and Finite Horizon are three very good merc corps who inflict a lot of damage for a reasonable price.

KIA 4tw
They're crazy and will fight even when they're totally outnumbered. They may not be as effective as loading up the low slots with WCS and warping shooting, warping out -- but they'll have the most fun =) They're also the best looking merc corp.
Also, everyone's done stuff they're not proud of. You probably tapped that fat chick at the office party last december....yea you know you did it.
(oh no she didn't)

Edited by: Shin Ra on 13/10/2005 17:47:21 The Mercenary coalition: A group of 4 merc corps, although really just 1 big merc corp. They deal with mostly empire work. So if you wanted to attack FE, They would hang out in Obe-Traisy-Jita area. They do lots of ganks with HACs/AFs. They kills a lot of indys, shuttles, frigs and cruisers. They do not kill many battleships and do not usually enter deep 0.0 space
KIA: Don't really fit the profile of a mercenary in that they are considered quite honorable and upstanding people. They usuually use gunship Battleships to get kills. Although their effectiveness on some contracts is questionable. Usually fight in empire/0.0 chokepoints
Cult of Cuthulu: Quite skilled players who use cov ops + tanked apoc + gankships to get kills. Effective tactic in small skirmishes and do quite well. Again tho, actual number of kills isnt the best. Usually fight in empire
BURN EDEN: The single most hated corporation in this game. Trying to fill the role of the badass merc. Proper indiscriminate killers. Rarely fight in empire. Usually found deep in 0.0 hitting the enemy where it hurts. Doesn't kill very many indys or small ships, but kill way more BS than any other merc corp. Also, the first merc corp to kill a Freighter. They differ from the other merc corps by not giving the target a "good fight", a genuine annyoyance for anyone to fight.

The MC: Very professional, flexible, have good numbers, totally reliable to be effective at whatever they sign on for.
GH-SC: Having hired them in the past I can safely say that if you want your enemies to have fair and honorable PvP you should hire any of the other merc corps. However if you want your enemies to have to deal with relentless griefers who'll hound them from the game and deal in psychological warfare, espionage, corp theft etc you should hire GH-SC.
KIA: Not too sure about their reliability after the whole BoB fiasco, but they are damned effective when they're on a roll.
Battle Angels: No clue.
Cult Of Cthulhu: Small but extremely deadly, some of the best killers and anti-pirates around, I'd hire these guys if I wanted to hurt say, Evolution.

Darling, I asked for those with opinions of others. Sprinkling your own corporation with praise is rather bad sport, wouldn't you agree?

Of course. I just want to know more about these guns-for-hire aside from their past contracts and who to contact.

The MC- Very well organised, will get the job done and well....reassuringly expensive
Kia- Had some bad luck recently but work like machines on a contract
Battle Angels- I heard the did very well against Stain, and are now working with MC so must be doing something right
COC- My favourite mercs, very highley skilled and effective.
Burn Eden- Well if their stats are correct they are the most effective mercs, abit loud for my liking but they are definatly a corp that your enemy will hate fighting guaranteed

it wasnt a flame it was a fact that they are not to be trusted. a merc corp lives and dies by its reputation and KIA abused theirs.

The MC: Havn't heard much from MC in a while, I'm sure they are still kicking somebody around. Videos are cool and they certainly have the numbers to tackle most any job.
GH-SC: I have seen corps disband rather than fight them before. That about says it all.
KIA: Don't know much about KIA, I thought they were more of a PvP corp than mercs.
Battle Angels: I know a few of the pilots in BAPWN personally and I wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of their fire, dunno about the corp as a whole but they have some tough pilots.
Cult Of Cthulhu: Mitchman is sexy. Pretty much the original mercs, smaller than MC but of equal or much greater quality.

TBH I think it depends on what you want.
For a full scale, large numbers war, MC
For smaller fights, but extremely deadly, CoC
For personal issues, hatred, and to destroy corps utterly - GH-SC |

MC = some very good individual pvpers. Alot of marginals though in the ranks. Also, prudish when it comes to really fighting...not much risk taking.
GH-SC = A case study on how to parlay ONE INSTANCE of marked success into a reputation :)
KIA and CC = unknown to me
Battle Angels = The best of the best. If you know anything about where these guys came from you know that they have a long long long history of fighting alongside each other. These guys are the leadership nucleus of the group that kept FIX intact during seige from just about every entity in the galaxy from CA to BoB and everyone else who was attacked them.

MC: top fighters and very professional Cult of Cthulhu: never fought them, but supposedly pretty good BAPWN: we're the best?! Bunch of freinds been fighting together mostly since FIX days, for 5 or 6 months minimum Slacker Industries: fought them for a while, decent inty pilots Burn Eden: Mercs?! Okay then....we'll see
