Tired of mining away the hours for that ultra-expensive Battleship? Tired of being forced into the cookie-cutter cycle that is, mine, build new ship, get it destroyed, repeat? Do you want to learn small ship tactics? Do you want to go to war?
Then maybe the Mercenary Frigates are for you.
We donĘt claim to be the nice guys. We arenĘt.
We donĘt claim to have the best gear. We donĘt.
We donĘt claim to care that you have a ship that screams of *****-envy. Because, we donĘt.
HereĘs the nuts and bolts of the dealą
We go out and harass people into declaring war on us. Yeah, I know people will consider that griefing. Fine, whatever. You have a way of dealing with us. Declare war and stop us, or quit whining. Usually people have us out-gunned, out-manned, out-moneyed, yet they wonĘt do it. After all, we might upset their turning rock into ore, so they can put a shiny new horn on their big ole paperweight that is a battleship. Feh.
That just isnĘt fun in my book. If it is in yours, donĘt join us please. Stop reading now, and press on with your pseudo-toughness. We all know you only fight when you are assured you can win.
So, your still here huh?
Either youĘre a spy, or maybe you got cajonesą weĘll see.
HereĘs how you join us.
Email us at [email protected] . Tell us you want to join. Once we get back to you on a time (it may take a week), and place, make an alt., and be there with YOUR OWN FRIGATE.
This is a pirate/merc operation. We donĘt have lot of fundsą only a lot of fun. When you first join, you wonĘt have access to the corp. hanger. Sorry. Too many people are ****ed at us. We will test your mettle in combat. We will see if you are with us or against us. Eventually you will earn the trust of the MF ceo, and he will grant you access. Until then, we will help you with what we can.
Oh, and if you decide to join usą donĘt ***** and moan about who we are going to attack. We donĘt care if your main character is a grand pooh-bah in this or that corpą we really donĘt. All we see is space full of targets, ōclients,ö and those that just donĘt realize they will fall into the two preceding categories.
When you get with us, we will give you more in-depth rules, likeą
Be polite at all times (even when your ransoming their ore, or when they are sniveling about how they are going to get all of their battleship buddies to crush you, or even when they say they are going to declare warą 9 times out of 10 its just them being childish).
No intentional podding. Being a pirate and being a jerk are two different things. No reason to do that. This is a game after all.
ą and on.
So, e-mail us. Make an alt. Buy a piece of ****e frigate, and join us to watch some Battleship captains cry in their soup when we dust em.
Oh, and make no mistakeą you will die in MF. ItĘs going to happen. Things WILL go wrong.
But, when they go rightą itĘs a hoot.

P.S. You can also use that e-mail addy if you want to hire us to become an annoying thorn in someone's side. Have money, will travel.

Gotta love how people immedately discount an idea because they think its HARD.
Any idiot with half a brain can fly a battleship and destroy a battleship. It takes skill and brains to co-ordinate 3 frigates to do the same job at 1/100th of the cost.

At least they are having fun.
I dont think camping a gate in your battleship, blowing up shuttles sounds fun.
Think about it, they are attacking cruisers in frigates!!!!!!!, think they should gain a little respect dont u?.
Dont discount them, wouldnt it be funny if they blew up 1 of your battleships. .
Good luck in recruiting guys.

Looking into my crystal ball I can see one of two things happening if you consumate your plan:
1. Your use of free noob starter ships to keep returning in wave upon wave will result in CCP changing the way n00b's receive those starter ships when podded.
2. You'll get owned so many times you'll quickly get bored.

1. We don't use n00b frigates (mainly lvl2 and lvl3 frigates).
2. We've been doing it for over a month and a half and its still bloody fun. At times my sides are splitting. At last, a bit of fun in EVE, a rare thing.

Hey,
I may not like frigates. I personally didn't bust my ass to get a battleship for nothing though either. But if the "Merc Frigates" wanna have some fun.... Let them. Why does a game have to be stuffy anyway. I can do that at work.

At least they're challenging themselves - not much challenge in sitting at a gate in a BS waiting for someone to kill.
Don't particularly want to go down the pirate route myself, but I do admire the fact that they're actually playing the game and taking chances instead of always going for the easy option you know you can win. 
Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure? |

it sounds like they are having fun playing the "GAME" a different way then the common folk.
Although Im about 2 days from owning my 1st battleship, I would love to be in their corp except for the fact that I am already in a corp full of great people.
I wish "Mercenary Frigates" the best of luck in their endeavors.

These guys can be quite entertaining, Met them when they attacked our group mining effort, Lol afterward in local chat they claimed we were the aggressor, If we'd known you where a real Pirate corp we would have hunted you and played some more.

I have to give these guys credit for trying something so idiotic that it sounds like Monty Python thought it up.
I would recommend that you IQ test your members first. One of them threated to steal ore from my corp mate who was mining in an indy with no CAN!
Either a real transparent "scare the n00b" bluff or just stupidity, we were ROFL.

we are not race specific, but we have a better supply of caldari frigates then anyother. however we can get all types usually (need a few more minmatar ones tho).

You only require an alt, of which no-one needs to know is you. Not many skills required, i'd say 3 or 4 days of training time at most.

I didn't hear about that, but i know that sometimes we go out and we'll try and attack whoever if we see them. And yes sometimes we will be completely underpowered, not equipped with the correct equipment etc... Can't be arsed to go all the way back and re-equip, cus that takes time. We don't go out and fight expecting to win everytime.. cus well, we won't we just want to have a laugh.

Amazing Idea...sent my App in...god...I was almost gonna quit EVE until I saw this...before this I ahd 2 choices, I could sit at gates all day ina BS demanding money, or mine for as many hours as I work..WTF? and then I came to the realization that my poor frig would never stand up to a BS..and the game seemed a lil shiesty like Frig<Cruise<BS...nice....no..
This corp is actually going to give me what I'm looking for in the game, cuz until now, all the game ahs seemed to me is a Social Game where you sit around talking to pass time while making your tedious money.
To all those who critisize this corp...ask yourself...who is the *****, the oen who chills in his BS al;l day, or the lil guys who attack the BS with frigates. People in this corp arent afraid to die hence they > you so end your life now

Sounds like fun :) Expect an application from my alt in due course :)
I have original BP copies of Merlin, Kestrel, Tristan, Rifter, Punisher and Griffin frigates. I can run you off 10 run copies of each... that way you can build your own frigates for next to nothing... just pour in the minerals and away you go. Under condition that you don't sell them to a third party of course :)
Incidentally... the Griffin has four medium slots. If you fit out 4 ships with each type of ECM and have those 4 ships fly around together you will have 24 points across the board for every sensor type. I got the BP's for those too :) This is enough jamming strength to target jam ANY ship in the game... i.e. they cannot target you to fire. Use a couple more with webifiers and warp scramblers and you can render ANY ship in the game immobile and unable to target you.
Then you just send in the Kestrels armed with heavy missiles. If you have enough ships available with enough firepower ANY ship in the game will be at your mercy :)

Nice one, guys.
Fear them. A well thought out loadout on a frigate, flown by a skilled pilot, should give pause for thought for anyone.
Even a handful of frigates can annihilate larger ships - all it takes is a bit of thought for the loadout, and some skills in the pilots' chair.
After the next patch, missiles will fulfill their potential. Kestrels and Breachers will be a worrying site in the space lanes.
Hats off to you, s0cks. Have fun!
Cheers,
TOM

Cheers for the info dude, but believe me, we practically know everything you can know about the frigates and EW jamming/propulsion jamming. Its all we ever talk about lol.
Griffin is nice for med slots, but it has its downsides... i won't go into it here, but there are a few reasons why i don't pick it that often.

Well, i got to say this has to be the most fun corp i've been in. Just for the entertainment some people provide.
Found a BS today mining with no weapons or combat drones. He had a go at winding me up when i couldn't dent his shields but warped off quickly enough when i targetted his harvestors and can.
Let this be a lesson, it doesn't matter how big your ship is, we will always find a way to enjoy ourselves at your expense if you laugh and think we are insignificat :)

That said, to all of you who whine and gripe about how stupid and lame their idea is, you need lives. Eve was created for people like the MFs they do it their way... and from looking at the posts i would so not to many poeple are that agree... and as for that last post if i ever find myself of their meal ticket and they end up beating my Vexor, they can have my stuff, they earned it.

As a member I gotta say the three days or so I've spent with them (using my primary char with 3.3 million skillpoints) Have been the most fun i've had in eve so far :)
Losing mallers and thoraxes is far more annoying than losing punishers and crucifiers :) And we don't just go up against cruisers... no battleship is safe from Mercenery frigates...
The reason your moa survived is probably just that I wasn't on that mission
First time I get podded on my primary in the 7 months I've been playing.. and I gotta say it was worth it
1 mill for 2 clones.. just killing the two thoraxes with 3 frigs and completely locking down a dominix and then having to flee because of his omen lackeys was worth a lot more than 1 mill to me :) the punishers and crucifiers get replaced by insurance. Then getting hounded by like 5-10 battleships all the way home was totally funny :)

Yes i too thought it was a great idea except the alt thing. Its skilled to attack bigger ships in smaller ones, but not brave at all when using your alts.
Please people stop shouting how brave they are, remember they are using 2-3 day disposable alts and 200k ships. Not really all that brave in my book. But well done on the rest. Just wish you would use your main characters.
CCP Really needs to do something about alts. They are very bad for more things then they are good for in my opinion.

This "by design" is a role playing game which like many other RPG's with "multi-character logins" gives you the ability to explore both the good and bad.
Many Mercenary Frigates members are in large corporations which simply "will not" allow it's members to run around declaring war on whoever they feel. By default they will have to use their "Alt's"
HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS MINING AND FIGHTING, OR FIGHTING AND PRODUCTION ? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE 2 ACCOUNTS ?
ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE CHEATING ..... NO
These guys train a single character to use EW / propulsion jamming, stand up (without hiding behind a Noob Corp) and shout "we are scum" kill use (is this not what people want, pirates who do not hide)
Either pod them or praise them but stop posting dribble on the boards you sad little people (to who it concerns)

the problem with using alt characters is that they are using damn frigates, they can create a character, train for a few hours, get the other character to buy a good frigate for them and they are ready to go, if their frigate character looses too much security rating they can just delete it and start over again, there is hardly any financial loss and no personal responsibility, and here I was hoping this game will bring accountability for your own actions to the online gaming world

I am not an alt in Mercenary Frigates. Omri is my main, but yes, I would say 65% of MF is alts (I’m just guessing its not like I asked when they joined). I guess it’s the only way people would join, as striking out in only a frigate seems like a bad career choice in the beginning. Plus, it’s easier to support a frigate lifestyle when money isn’t an issue.
As long as MF people are having fun, MF will be around. The mechanics of the game may change and drive us out of existence. Maybe Arcane Tech UK will hunt us down and force us out . If anything happens like this, it will be fun all the way to the bitter end. That’s just the way things go.
When MF started, I never dreamed it would cause such a ruckus.
If any of you need biomass or a photo of my corpse, just msg. Arcane Technologies UK. I’m sure they have plenty of mine in storage .

its a brilliant idea, and one i have thought about many a time. frigates should not be underestimated.
im part of a new corp doing virtually the same thing.
it just takes a bit of organisation to pull it off well.
good luck in the future MF.

Are you serious? There are groups out there like this?! HAHAHHAHA
NICE! And here I was doing this kind of **** all by myself. Like today for example, I racked up 2 Cruisers and 3 Frigates.
I also made 300,000 isk in jet-can ransoms...
All the while being very polite and telling my victims to have a wonderful day!

Attention seeking? Omri said he didnt imagine this corp would create such a ruckus when he created it...we arent here to grab your attention, we are here to have fun, but thnx for supporting our cause by insulting us, we arent trying to make you like us.
Dumb and Scared? I think the scared ones are the people who wont leave thier BS IMHO...Frigates do die...we know we will die...scared? No...we just have enuf of a grip on reality to realise our life isnt over when our ship blows up.
Of course with all the mindless hours you spend mining for those BS's I guess it is sorta a big deal when you lose it...I mean...if I totalled my car I would be ****ed...but then again...thats is real money.
Keep on doing whatever you are doing...I promise you we are having more fun than you could imagine.

As for the alt thing, i think it's exactly what CCP meant when they allowed us to have 3 chars per account. I'm almost sure it was in the manual somewhere even... After all the PKers having carebears alts to do their biz in 1.0, it's seems only fair that law-abiding players make themselves an outlet for all the adrenalin they get trying to avoid getting PKed on their mains....
I've got one char(on my other account) who'll be joining MF. And I WILL be spending more than 3 days training him too, I don't care about spending money for a decent clone, the reason I don't risk my main characters is more that I can't afford to replace their rare modules, cruisers, indys and battleship more often than I already have to. For market equipment and the best frigates I can have a week's worth of replacements with only a few hours worth of work on my main account.
But no, much as PKers don't want you to know the names of their carebear alts, for the sake of my corp as well as myself I'm not going to make a post like this with a character that can be traced from MF to my law-abiding main and her/his corp.

What can we gain??? I have been in MF for about 2 weeks....every time I go I have FUN..... yup, that 3 letter word that seems taboo in EVE.
I have attacked other frigates and killed then(and died) cruisers and killed them (and died)and BS's...funny thing is...not been killed by a BS yet.... they usually run to fast (apparently they don't like people scratching the paintwork).
Best thing is...I'm gonna go get a BS soon.. and with the help of a dozen small (but good) friends were gonna kill it..... then were gonna get another one... then another one.....
This game can be fun..... laugh your heads off suckers....because when we wipe the floor with your BS you won't be laughing at us.....

After 3 months of mining and killing the od npc, I was tired of Eve and canceled my subsciption.
Then I saw this Merc frig thread and joined up, I have only been with then a short time, and man its so much fun, although we work on the other side of the law, we are always polite and good natured, I only use my Main to mine to pay for the cheap frig lifestyle, with an hours mining I can outfit a ship and skill up with my frig charachter, if I spent this on my main, I may get 1 laser!
Sure I will get owned, bu within a short time I will back harrasing you with my ickle ship,lose my b/s and im back to square 1
If you want a lot of fun then join us, if you dont like us, declare war on us (we probley deserve it)

Incidentally... the Griffin has four medium slots. If you fit out 4 ships with each type of ECM and have those 4 ships fly around together you will have 24 points across the board for every sensor type. I got the BP's for those too :) This is enough jamming strength to target jam ANY ship in the game... i.e. they cannot target you to fire. Use a couple more with webifiers and warp scramblers and you can render ANY ship in the game immobile and unable to target you.
Then you just send in the Kestrels armed with heavy missiles. If you have enough ships available with enough firepower ANY ship in the game will be at your mercy :)

Cheers for the info dude, but believe me, we practically know everything you can know about the frigates and EW jamming/propulsion jamming. Its all we ever talk about lol.
Griffin is nice for med slots, but it has its downsides... i won't go into it here, but there are a few reasons why i don't pick it that often.
That is quite true, but fit it with the right ew, and have one or two other ships armed with weapons, and you can take down most bs' easily... just don't expect it to be fast.
I myself have been looking into frigates, and have found one or particular intrest that could lock down a scorpion, sounds far fetched? Maybe.

You can't tell me that you've never seen your frigate sitting in your hanger, and then decided to whip it out for a quick mess around. You fiddle with wot slots you have for ages, and make wot you believe to be an awesome frigate. You take it out... and what can you do but blow up NPC rats?
Go on, take it out for a proper spin, take it out of the MF hanger.
Required skills:
- Electronic Warefare
- Propulsion Jamming

Mercs.... Fantastic idea. Why not throw sensor linking skill too. With 5 or more skilled piots the bonuses would be huge and you could catch BS's before they are unware... I also recommend having a tube per frigate loaded with FoF, always fun against BLB's and scorps. hehe

It would probably be more informative for you to just find out where they are and go pay them a visit. But in case you don't, frigates will use EW, energy neutralizers, and missile launchers - modules which work pretty much the same on any size ship. Sure they can't stack 8 of them on a single ship, but the tradeoff is the ships are far more disposable. And some things (agility) favor the frigates over BS's.

Ok note this: 2 frigates can take down a Dominix. Kinda makes that 50million you'd spend on one seem a bit hard worked for when 2 140k frigates can take one down.

I assure there is absolutely no cruisers in MF. I think one guy has a Moa but he only ever uses it for NPC rat hunting.
You may have spotted a Mercenary Cruiser member (allies) or any another ally fighting with us. But the MF corp never uses cruisers (we may however use indys for mining and loot purposes).

I not sure you read the start of the thread mate:
" Email us at [email protected] . Tell us you want to join. Once we get back to you on a time (it may take a week), and place, make an alt., and be there with YOUR OWN FRIGATE."
Um, "MAKE AN ALT" kinda stands out there. Don't kid yourself. Most if not all people in MF have wealthy mains, regardless of whether that main is a miner, uuber pirate, merchant or whatever. The founders of MF aren't likely the "true ballsy people" you are imagining, but rather intelligent, somewhat bored souls who are tired of worrying before each battle or trip whether they will lose their 100 mil BS with it's 50 mil worth of loot modules... THAT is why they use frigates, market equipment and basic clones.
Who would use their main as a part of MF? That would be stupid, they'd be paying for top-end clones all the time, and they'd be losing their implants... From the posts I've read, MF members take being podded as normal, even a mark of pride.
And BTW, the one quasi-intelligent part of your post , regarding MF's likelyhood of blowing up my main (or more likely people in my main's corp) is a re-iteration of the reason why I decided not to join up. I don't want to be in a position of divided loyaltie. Instead, I've made an MF-type frigate combat alt to use on revenge or suicide missions. But don't kid yourself about who would make the best pirates or combat alts. Being a miner, or merchant or whatever doesn't mean you don't know how to fight, although it prolly does mean your skill points and experience aren't weighted towards it. Which, again, is the whole point of ppl in MF never amassing more SPs than a basic clone can replace... It's a great equalizer, and it's also really cheap to fix when somebody turns you into biomass...
As for calling me a wannabe or whatever, you just don't seem to get the whole point of an anonymous, alt-based frigate pirate corp. And if you read this far in the thread without getting it, no point me trying to help you out with it...
A wannabee like joo

Yellow rat has a cruiser. He does not use it in hunts tho, so if u see an MF in a cruiser they will not attack you - if they do plz contact Omri and that player shall be removed from the corp (unless you attacked first and they were defending themselves). And by god we have no battleships, our corp assests couldnt even pay the insurance for one, let alone an actual BS.

Sorry - still confused with the replies to my question. At 60-100km a fast frigate who flys at 1200ms looks very sloooooow and would seem to be an easy target(s). How would u scramble a battleship at 60km? And if that battleship wants to fight, and maintains distance at 60-100km - how can a frigate group hit it?
I suspect this techique can only be used against a slow moving battleship pilot?

We jump around belts and find a BS we warp in hes prolly gonna be under 20km away. If he is over 20km we target lock and jam (but only if he starts targetting us). At jump in points people only jump in a max for 20km away too. If that battleship does manage to get 60km away then f.ck it, we move on.
I think you fail to realize that not every ship is gonna be 60km away when we find em. Get a couple of webs on him and hey presto, dinner time.

Need to add I ment fighting, of course we may use any ship if need to haul your booty back to refine/recycle to keep our mechanical parots in good order.
I would also like to ask who put the 50k bounty on my head? Is it possable to find out as I would like to know when Im flying around in my dustbin how likley it is that I will be pursued, as I have had no one (so far) take any action against me, until I engage then first

Good luck to you and I look forward to combat and assure you once you have a taste fr the frigate fighter lifestyle your main will be your suger daddy to provide those ships, modds and ammo, you will not likley get ISK rich, but you will have a whole load of fun, and the first cruiser you kill, oh it will feel soooooo good you will never go back, that has been my experience anyway.

now this kinda makes me luagh
but then when my corp m8 took down a BS alone in a caracel that was real funny(couldnt finish him off as it was a duel and had no scrambler on, and it took over 100 paradise miss. to take that tempest down)
but a frigate?
yea i can see it if it was highly organized, but it would take 12 of you doing nothing but shooting to take down a BS. If you have that many active members why dont you use BB caracals and a few other nice PVP crusers?
then you could go smack all the pirates in obe

12 ?,... try 6, or maybe 7.
Because thats the number we used to take a Tempest down, thing is, we mix and match weapons.
So dont be using only 100 paradise missiles, that aint a fight, thats tossing pebbles to someone while there are also much sharper rocks to throw.
Errr,.. and why would we shoot piwates, we are piwates, we love piwates.

Verym true, if you caracel pilot had loaded a variety of missiles he woulda probably done a lot better. With the tempest we took town we had gins, drones, and missiles. Prolly took 2minutes or so. And a dominix can easily loose its shields to 3 frigates within 30-45seconds.
Never underestimate the power of a frigate.

MF Combat Report
I'm an experienced EVE player, been in EVE since day one, was in beta too and I've always felt that frigates were under utilised.
My trader main has ALL the frigate BP's (all originals) and I sell around 100 per week throughout EVE. I joined MF during the middle of last week and dumped a shedload of BP's in their hanger. I spent a few days buying and training skills. Finally on friday night I tagged along on what they call a hunting expedition.
We found a Thorax and a Dominix mining in a belt in a 0.3 system (so they were obviously tooled up to defend themselves from NPC's warping in). I think there were 5 of us. We warp scrambled and EW jammed the Thorax while the Dominix collected all his drones (mostly combat) and hightailed it out the belt so we shrugged our shoulders and set about destroying the Thorax.
Anyway the cries of help lead to the Dominix returning (after all we are only JUST frigates right?). Being in a Kestrel I can afford the luxury of standing off and lobbing missiles at people but I was performing the important function of guarding the back door waiting for something to warp into the belt so I was within 20km of the Dominix when it warped in. I immediately warped scrambelled it, stuck the afterburner on to close the distance so his weapons couldn't track me effectively and procedded to orbit his stricken battleship (which by now was target jammed aswell) and started to fire and reload Thunderbolt heavey missiles into my tubes. Six Thunderbolt missiles took his shield down to half. Then unfortunately I found my cap had drained away to nothing (due to fitting a 20km warp jammer that eats cap like its going out of fashion) and he managed to get his drones out. After his combat drones had eaten their way down to about a quarter of my armour and half my hull I decided to bug out. We regrouped and came back into the belt to take on the Dominix again but it had left leaving a ****load of combat drones and harvesters all over the place. There was a can with about 200 Kernite and 5k Plag so we looted that and set off for home.
One of the best experiences I have had of EVE to date. Fun fun fun

From the sounds of it you guys are way more effective then any bs pirate out there...
Where other pirates perma-camp systems like pf 4c and such and catch nearly nothing other then newbies who can't read their maps, you guys catch several ships a night (but have to split it with more I guess). Though I guess a lot of them are miners, they mine in deep space and are likely to have anti-rat equipment on board.
So IMHO you might be the best PvP-ers in the game since you simply battle the most and even in a constant underdog position.
Problem though I guess are that many people need to play with their main as well. On the other hand, 52 members means 52 people, since there is no real nead to have alts in the same corp.
If I just would have heard of you guys before I joined (time-consuming) Techell...

Split it with more???? split what..... this isn't about money it's about having fun....
And I'm thinking maybe we should enter a team in the frigate fest for the successor to teh emporour...just to see how well we can do against others in a flat out frigate fight....
I know who my money would be on....

We're a small frigate corp - we win some and we lose some - so what! It's a game - that's all.

Actually I think you've blowen everything out of the window here.
We were sitting at a gate while looking for targets on the map, M0O comes in and for some reason our guys treat him like royalty :/ and he destroys 1 of our ships with a cruise missile. Confusion in the ranks i think 
We have never run from m0o, and we have never lost more then one ship to m0o, and if we did? who cares? we loose ships all the time, they only frigates.

Sorry, but what the HELL is the point of having a mercenary cruisers?
Mercenary frigates are a novelty corp, they only fly frigates and take out ships 10 times their size.. thats the whole idea behind it.
What is it that makes Mercenary Cruisers so different from just about any other pirate corp?most cruisers, in the right situation can solo a battleship anyway, not like its anything special.

Just a wild stab in the dark, but ... could it be for a broader, more effective fighting force? If MF is about making proper use of coordinated and skilled frigate pilots, maybe MC is about making proper use of coordinated and skilled cruiser pilots. And should they put the two together as a fighting force, it's possible they might turn out to be quite handy in a scrap.
All they need now is to decide if they want to just be pirates or become proper mercenaries ;)

MF Combat Report
Got my first "solo" kill today. I think this was probably a case of "he who dares wins". I noticed that there were two ships in a system nearby and they had been there for some time so I kitted out my Kestrel for a hit and run surprise attack thinking there might be two cruisers chaining NPC's. Thought I might be able to warp in, get a volley of harrassing missiles off and warp away again. Started searching through the belts and came across something that was either a cruiser or a BS. I couldn't identify the ship before it immediately warped away. Went around collecting the NPC loot. Found near enough 20k of omber in one of the cans so I decided to stick around. Two minutes later a Hoarder warps in. I warp scrambled & webified the ship and let him sweat a bit while I asked on the alliance channel if "Domain Alliance" were friends. I didn't receive an answer so I killed him... no mercy.... muhahahaa
Yaaaarrrr!!

this has to be the best time i have spent in eve to date. today we managed to scare off a megathron from a mining op. granted by the time i got there the bs was long gone we did not lose one single ship on that raid though the megathron pilot was out some where in the area of 1m worth of omber =) after this i taged along with a new rading party only to run in to a scorpion unforunatly he saw us before we saw him. though i have to say i stood up to him longer then i expected. in the end me and 2 other pilots got to take the trip back home in our pods. but i was laughing my ass of the whole time

Man I had respect for you guys for going up against greater odds, it took great big cajonies to do the things you did. Hell even in the war you have with us. But today, You lost all that respect in your most recent tactic of quiting corp in the middle of the fight.
What is the point of engaging if you dont have the cajonies to see it either to the end or run away. Guess its all just smack talk. Your actions speak volumes of your potential.
One tactic you have taught us to do the same.
Our corp will be trading out Merc Fighter trading corpes next week. Get your MF corpse while they are hot!

At the time Merc Frigates is under stress, omri, former CEO, has left it and joined Biomass in a last effort to see if they can have fun again.
For the moment I am holding the fort as CEO and have evemailed all members to mail me when they wished to remain a merc frig.
You can ofcourse apply to join, though at the moment it sint sure what the near future will bring.

wow a flame on us without knowing the reasons...
1 guy did that and he was quitting the corp [ as well as the game of eve ] for real, wasnt a tactic used to exploit. he is not with mf anymore. we have never done that in the past ever. 1 guy quits legitmatly and you fire on him all of mf gets flamed for it. i cant defend his timing on quitting, if he did it mid fight it was wrong. but i wasnt there, so i dont know.
we declared war on mining umlimited for one reason the fun of it... but the same thing happend that happens everywhere mf goes. you camped our staion with an overwheming force of BS and CC and wanted us to come out and fight with 4 frigates. hell your guys wouldnt even let our guys in pods into the station to get a frigate. all we try and do is be like 17th century pirates cruising the belts for loot and fights if we can find them. but dont expect us to fight flocks of BS and CC. [ why do people expect us to when even they wouldnt fight those odds in BS's ] you guys coulda come out in 8 frigates and killed us but it woulda been a fun fight. but thats not your fault really. its the game mentality.
but you know what im past the point of caring anymore. i resigned as mf ceo and am quitting the game right before my next pay cycle. like most of the rest of mf players.
the reasons are far to numerous to list in just one posting ;]
but the main one is boredom... i usta think those that chopped rocks 24/7 were making the game boring on themselves.. or the guys who did 200 boring missions .. but i have since learned that everything in eve is boring. we spend many boring hours seaching the belts for a somewhat fair fight and rarly find one. so my method is just as boring as the next guys...
everyone is concerned over losing thier BS and i dont blame them. its like a job [ and i mean a real job, most guys tell me it feels just like that,, i.e not fun ] getting the ore /isk to get one.
finding a fight is that is fun is 1 in 1000 , heres what happens when 1 team of players decides to fight another team of players
PHASE 1
team A gets a gang together to attack team B they will form a gang they know will defeat the forces they see in B's area. or the group would not go.
PHASE 2
team B sees a crapload of foes show up in thier region so they do one of the following 1=call for reinforcements while safely tucked away at a bookmark in the middle of nowhere, 2= log out/leave area cuz they know they cant win since sufficent backup is not comming. [ lets assume backup arrives]
PHASE 3
team B's reinforcements wouldnt have shown up if they didnt think they had a chance vs team A
which means now 9 times outta 10 times team B has the numerical advantage and team A does one of the following REPEAT PHASE 2 AND 3 SWAPPING TEAM A WITH TEAM B IN THE EXAMPLE. TILL ONE SIDE LOGS OUT/LEAVES AREA.
now as i said once inwhile a good fight will take place but most go just like the above example. and the ones that do occur = many hours of prep[feels like work]
to maybe have 10 minutes of fun.
who knows my pay cycle is a week or so away, so maybe i might find some fun in the game that will make me stay... but i know it wont be mining or missions or commodities. so that leaves little else but combat [and i mean fleet style not the onesy twosy accidental combat that does occur on occasion] in 00 space. and that is a rare animal.
since i have worked with biomass/mega during the 3 weeks of "log off wars" in venal i am going to join them and be the frigate divsion of thier corp. hopefully some of mf will come with me. so that i am not the only frigate!

Thats interesting, considering that just this morning another of your players did the same trick. She left station as a member of MF, saw one of our guys waiting, and then immediately docked, left MF corp, and undocked. (im currently looking for the name, cant remember it right now but we have screenshots). At least this time it was not in mid fight.. I guess thats something.

Of course we came with overwhelming force. We didnt ask for this war. You declared war on us in an attempt to force your style of play on us. Most of our players no longer consider PvP battles "fun" regardless of the odds. So if you are going to try to force a PvP style on us so that you can have fun, its in our best interest to make sure that your players have as little fun as possible, so that you will go bug someone else. So you can fully expect that every time a MF player shows their face outside a station, they will have a large force of cruisers and battleships on them like stink on terds.
By the way, I noticed your players didnt have any aversion to coming out of the station when there was nothing but cans of ore for them to shoot. There was no "quest for a fun fair fight" they just came out, wasted a can full of ore, and then ran like scared little girls when an actual ship showed up. Bottom line here is that you declared war on us thinking we would be an easy target, and when things didnt turn out the way you hoped, you start using cheeseball tactics and everything you can to avoid a fight. If you arent going to finish the fight you started, then at least have the stones to surrender and admit that you bit off more than you can chew. And dont try playing the "oh poor us, why do you want to pick on our poor little frigates" card... you wont get any sympathy from us. If you didnt want to fight a bunch of cruisers and battleships, you shouldnt have picked a fight with a corp with 80+ members with cruisers and battleships. Did you really expect us all to go sell our other ships and buy frigates just to reduce ourselves to your level ?

yep thats what i expected another flameing post.
of course we shoot your cans of course we steal your ore... we are trying to be frigate pirates. do a little role playing to liven things up.
and since you brought it up.. we coulda just not declared war and stole your ore all day long in safty. till you started using secure cans. but we did declare war [something you woulda never done if the situation was reversed,] giving you a chance to defend your cans.thought we would try having a bit fun with a large active corp.
our mistake was trying to have fun ,yep we are guilty as charged...
it had nothing to do with the "poor little ol frigates card" it was our last attempt to add a spice to a game that needs it badly.
you win gravedancer... all you MUC'ers can go back to your rocks and turn your macros on full power.
and i said i quit being CEO , i am quitting the game because it is zero fun for me [ i picked the wrong game, it happens]. but that doest mean MF is gone. and if they want to surrender they can. but it was a unanamous vote to go to war. and doubt they will ever surrender, so im sure you will have a few more chances to obliterate mf people.
running like scearming girls... hmmm i seem to remmeber the 1st fight in the belts when your guys did the "little girl" imitation. but you know what, yalls guy did the right thing there.
anyone woulda done the same thing. if you cant win ,run.
so why even bring up the running thing up ,other than to try and humilate someone or some corp. i bet everyone in the game has ran or tried to run at somepoint. so by that definition 99% of the players in eve are "screaming little girls"
since when is doing the right tactical/stratigic move [ like leaving when you cant win ] become so horrible.

Take notice of these 2 screenshots, There are around 200 cops around here, Does that seem a little odd? Yes.
First screenshot is showing "Tazante" undocking in the MF Corp, She appears on my threat window as well as I appear on her threat window.
Before I can aquire a lock, she notices me and docks, then only 2 minutes later she comes back out in a noob corp.
Seeing the amount of cops, there was other MF Corp members doing the same thing, and a member of "CSUP" Corp seemed to have lost a ship due to MF's exploiting of the "Quit Corp" option.
She didnt do it while I was attacking, but it seems as if her corpmates did. (Bunch of complaining on local chat about it)

This was in Khanid Prime.
Just a friendly suggestion, if you declare war on a corp, have the guts to fight it properly. "Oh they are camping the station in battleships" is no excuse, ever thought of putting on AB's and running like hell? Frigates can go damn fast with proper setup. Undock, go as fast as possible and proceed to warp. Not that hard, take advantage of the immunity timer from undocking, it was put there for a reason.
Lets hope when they fix the corp "Surrender" options that players cannot leave corp if thier corp is at war. Would solve all of this bull crap.

I'll put it more simply, we got fed up when the only fair fight you can come out with is, smalk talk local (cause you're in CC and BS) and camp the station with huge ships so **** it, we left. Your idea of fun is just plain sad 
Not as elequant as Omri can put it but this subject really is one big ****take.

really a BS can one shot kill a frigate at stupid distances and where's the fun in running all day???? 9/10 you'd win any fight against us but then again you're too boring to even try.

Thats exactly the point. When you declare unwanted unprovoked war on a corporation that neither supports nor desires PvP combat, you should expect to be met with hostility. However "sad" you may feel our idea of "having fun" in this game has become, you fail to realize that this game is what you make it...and we have chosen our own path - which might I add, does not infringe on the rights of other players to enjoy the game.
Make no mistake, Mining Unlimited will meet any threat with full force.
Perhaps you would find more fun declaring war on a corporation that actually desires a fight.

Duh, Tazante left and didnt come back to MF.
Like alot of others did, they joined Biomass, so whats the bad in that? .. timing ?
Youre trying nothing more then to discredit a corp here, a tad sad indeed.

I can respect the fact that you wish to fight as pirates. It is a refreshing change of pace than some of the flat out PKers out there. But realise this. We are miners by trade. This is how we make our living and we do a damn good job at it. The corp as a whole does not seek PVP on a regular basis. The only time we do is to protect our assets. You declaring war on us and then attacking in our neighborhood represents a direct threat to our operations. Therefore we were forced to respond in kind. To do that you have witnessed that we do not take this matter lightly, and will use our might to counteract any threat. Whether that be against frigates or BSes.
I do not wish to comment on tactics used by your people since I did not witness them first hand. I hope that even in Biomass you do not continue (or start) to do that since it is using the game dynamics as an exploit.
If you are done fighting with us, please release the declaration of war. We do not wish it to continue.
Thanks,
CM

Two things:
1.) Declare war on someone and then you moan when they meet you with "overwhelming force"? What the hell?
2.) Why call yourselves Mercenaries if you act independently and have very little interest in working for anyone but your own?
