I didn't say shooting, i said helping so don't put words in that are not there.
You're just stirring the pot and have no evidence. You add nothing of any value to this thread.
Why are you not posting with your main character instead of a two month old alt that hasn't moved from SWA? Seriously, why are you posting with an alt?
There is no pot stirring here and there is plenty of evidence to prove what has happened. Saying i add nothing of value to this thread is utter rubbish, what i add is the truth.
I would love to post with my main but that wouldn't be a wise decision on my part.
The truth is a many headed beastie and is always coloured by your perspective of events. I can say your version of "the truth" is abit off the mark. Think on this an IMP gang encounters a lone MC ship in 0.0 ... who do you think would be shooting first. IMP as far as I know really don't like us that much and may possibly have us at a "-" or 0 standing which means we would get shot at regardless so we would be very stupid not aware of the situations we get ourselves into. Saying that I don't think BoB would be too impressed if we started stealing there IMP spawns.
Also why should you be concerned about posting with your main, remember this is only a game so you can't lose that much and it could turn out more interesting ?
There was no shooting or hostility towards the MC pilot. The MC pilot was spotted in empire 0.0 while an IMP group was sitting on a gate. The MC pilot warped in at range and warped away (To check what the IMP pilots where flying and rely it back to the BoB fleet??). Then 3 to 4 seconds later a BoB fleet warped to engage the IMP group.
This may be a coincident. But it all looked a bit strange from where i was sitting. |

Surely 3-4 secs is not enough to warp to someone in a gang. Nonetheless we don't meddle in Bob affairs, and they dont meddle in ours, unless we would be on contract for them.

I must admit I treat this as the biggest real time strategy game ever and I've been addicted to those since Dune II.
WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST DUNE GAME THEN???? Its the best game evar!!! And i agree .. Strategy 4TW!!

Sorry, I admit I did make my own assumption on your behalf. But what was the relation between a MC warping out and then out, and 3-4 secs later bob fleet warped to IMP?

Maybe the MC pilot was scounting for the BoB fleet?!?!. With the IMP pilots being in range of the sentry guns i don't think it would have been a great idea for them to open fire on a none war target with a BoB fleet in the same system. |

I am so sorry my I.Q. has dropped vastly this evening. What did this MC pilot do that Bob couldnt have achieved on their own? To my knowledge all gangs comes with their own scouts, who knows how to handle himself with both scanner, and fast warp-ins and warp-outs.
I can't speak for that sole MC player, nor the incident, but I do know this: Bob can take care of themselves, and so can we...

Entertaining thread. 
Many excellent posts has now been made trying to explain the current mechanics in EVE and how some of us try to adapt to that. Also some hints of the future and the changes it brings.
Seleene, Omber, Blacklight, Lowa, Digital and more as over and over layed out very good explanations for the current landscape and what (and why) the MC are doing in order to keep on top and be able to provide the best mercenary services in EVE in the future aswell (omg long sentence). No need for me to once again point out everything.
They have all had the courtesy to explain and answer some questions that the general population has had. Remember that we in no way have any obligation to tell anyone anything. Be thankful for getting any kind of sensible replies at all, and there are many in this thread.
And if you don't see those replies or still don't get it after all those explanations, I'm afraid you never will (or don't want to). Sorry.
And in closing, I personally have no fear for the whole "MC popularity thingy". We have no desire to be the most fancy popular flashy organization in EVE. The MC's aim is to be the best mercenary outfit that money can buy in this universe, and everyday we strive to accieve that in par with an ever changing EVE in terms of how war is fought.
And the people that count, they know this (apparently since we have no shortage of work). For the rest of you, I don't care (except for my fans ofc  ).
Peace!

Hi,
i never saw before, that it make sense to hire a merc corp or MC. Its a contract over a short time. You cannot change anything, if you have not own interests to change something.
Its useless to spent money to merc corps.

I disagree. Mercs are a tool, the trick is effectively utilizing them. Using mercs to fight an entire war for probably isin't cost effective.
I think of alliances like MC as a scalpel. Give them a clear objective and it gets done. The objective they accomplish may not win your war, or whatever, but it may distract, confuse, demoralize, someone or something long enough for you to focus attentions other places.
My opinion anyway.
Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.

Any chance of a hypothetical quote from someone in the MC high command of how much you would need a week to assist in an invasion of delve? lets say, you would be doing something that put you against a lot of large targets?
im just curious to see if any 1 alliance could actually afford to keep thei own war efforts going and pay the MC aswell for any prolonged period of time...
I can fully understand why noone has contracted the MC against BoB, "long contract" doesnt even begin to cover it.
This probably has been covered but after 5 pages of alt smack you get pretty sick of it

I could assist you in stating that I'm high if thats ok?
I'm sorry to say that I/we will not do that, even for fun since
too many people that read and post here do not take EVE as fun.
But since I've already said this before I can say it again:
Full capital ship fleet utilized close to 100% against hard targets
for a prolonged time would set you back billions on fuel only.
This would be true against BoB or any other large scale alliance.

Hiring MC to fight BoB is like hiring 2 strippers to wreslte in Jello.
They're enjoying themselves and you're paying alot of money to watch.

Paying MC to fight BoB would be like paying RKK to attack EVOL.
Paying allies to have fun... while your out of pocket.
All BS aside, I've had this convo with the BoB leadership more than once. If the ballon went up, both sides would have fun because PvP is why we play the game. But both sides would also be playing for keeps.
Quote:
Seleene people have worked it out, move on. Thanks
Meh.

i dont think MC culd even solo BoB.
No one in EVE could "solo" BoB.
So prey tell Selene.
Which one of your BOB alts would you use to fight your own MC alliance with?
