As far back as the 14th century "Privateers" have been entering into contracts with governments, organizations and indivduals for warfare services. Also known as the infamous letter of marque & reprisal. Our recently created "Privateer Alliance" is continuing the tradition into this century.
We are formally throwing our privateer service into the mercenary/contract ring. We are accepting empire based contracts. Of course as has come to be expected of us we throw a twist into what has become a stale business environment beyond the MC. The Privateer Alliance will accept contracts for nothing more than the cost of the war declaration. We will make our money, at least attempt to, from the loot we acquire. This is the perect opportunity for anyone looking to harass an alliance/corp in empire, anyone looking to bolster their #'s against an existing war target, heck even anyone with a little isk and a grudge. I guarantee complete anonymity should you so choose, even send the isk with an alt and a note if youd like.
Because we are new to this and carry several other wars we can not guarantee anything past harassment of your target in empire systems. We can however guarantee we will seek out targets, cover pretty much all of empire space and never let a target simply fly by. We are a full PVP alliance of 6 corps and @200 people growing in both members and corps everyday. We are use to warfare with several large organizations simultaneously and have adapted well becoming quite effective. I cant post a killboard link but I can post a link to the EVE-O thread that has ours listed, I hope I can 
I realise our offer is uniqe and not for everyone but judging by how many inquiries we have already received, there is a market out there. Interested parties contact me in-game.

Guys! Think, 50M to war-dec an alliance compared to standard merc. fees!
And we won't necessarily be fleet battling, instead we will be ganking their haulers full of their T2 mods that they are 'wtfgank'-ing you with!
Everyone benefits, and I can attest to the destruction these guys (me included) can put out. I have seen two ruptures take out a BS. A T2/officer fitted BS. And his friends that came to help after he popped. And then got their pods.
Guys! Cheap and effective!

But since you are wardeccing pretty much every alliance already, and attack everything you can kill on sight, why should anyone spend their isk to get you to do.. what you are already doing? Not to mention, no alliance is going to be fond of you after/during little empire adventure.. I thought your "business" plan was working out so great, why the bumpage?

To respond to the rest:
It needs not be an alliance that will 'contract' us to go on a spree, it could be anyone with 50 million ISK that holds a grudge.
There are plenty too many alliances to have war-declared everyone.
It is the cheapest way to have your enemies harassed without risking your own ship and modules. And we provide very good sucess rates, because that is how we are getting paid! Their loot is our rewards!

I think its a great idea! Every alliance flies full haulers of megacyte from 0.0 under their own name since no one ever dares wardeccing them, its a lot safer then say using a noobcorp.

Tasuric, I was concerned of the same things when we first considred contracts. But ironically it has turned out to be the opposite. Because we war dec so many, virtually everyone in EVE has some kindof of experience with our alliance be it through an alt of theirs, a story from corpmates,,,whatever. This has accidentally provided us with the perfect advertisement. The occassional smack-talking noob aside, I think the majority of enemies we encouter walk away saying either "good guys" when they see we lose graciously, or they say "good pilots" when we hand them their arse. When they take everything into consideration, our size, our abilities, our price,,, its easy to look past the annoyance we present and appreciate our alliance for what we can do for them. The extreme has already happened, an existing target has requested a contract with us.
And yes I understand the point about paying for what we are already doing. But you failed to see the other benefit of employing us, I immedately drop any wars against the clients alliance/corp. So not only do we annoy the person you hate, we get off your back freeing your org. up for more important things. One of our contracts is essentially to annoy a certain alliance because our employer wants more breathing room to setup their outpost and they need more freedom in empire. They dont expect much but will certainly see more benefit from our help than the petty 50mil it costs.
Finally, the business model is working fine. We are adding members, member corps and wars everyday. Pilots are getting filthy rich, the alliance is up a few billion meanwhile everyone is having the most fun of their EVE career. So why are we bumping threads? Simple, because we are still looking to grow.

BUMP--- I was only in eve for a 6 months before Privateers- and there is plenty I havent appempted yet. But its the most fun I've found so far. LOVING IT.
The cost of a war to get us off your back is cheap imo. And I imagine it would be limited at some point, - so those wise allainces with some forsight might be stacking up a few months worth of decs before limitations are imposed.

Im impressed you could determine all that without knowing such things as our area of coverage. 
We have roughly 250 pilots, hit 100+ kills a day even on weekdays and if you check our killboard you'll see there isnt an area of empire we dont cover. Empire is so well connected its easy to get just about anywhere in 10-15 jumps.
Dont mistake the chaos for a lack of focus. Each pilot has the exact same goal as the alliance, pure PVP for profit. People don't join up to go run missions or mine. So in that sense I would argue we are very focused.

I was thinking more along the lines of the alliance we have decced now travel in packs and protect haulers and gates. Not to mention some, like D2, go out of their way to try and camp us.
Not effective, yet I have run into more than my fair share of war target blobs in PvP ships.

Effective...hurmmm.. its not very cleary defind word in my head.
If you had a grduge with a single pilot - paid us to dec his whole allaince..and he got shot and podded. then it was effective and money well spent.
If you had a grudge agaisnt a corp, paid the 50m cost and we totalled a few of their HACs and BS.S podded a few folk here and there - your down 50M and they are down 500m. thats effective in my book.
IF we engage, and they have superior numbers we loose ships, they dont, you only loose 50m and IF we didnt pod a single pilot. it might seem uneffective BUT if one of our pilots takes a disliking to them and we carry on the war due to a Grudge request from our forums -- then it could cause some long term pain to the "offending" corp, and you then win. 
Yeah, I'd say Privateers has scope to be a very effective force for that parley some of isk. I dont think the effectivness of the War should even be considerd, just who you want us to shoot - and when do we start?

I had a grudge. I called the A-team (was pretty easy since I am also in the corp)
Cost to me: 50m
Cost to target: 1 CNR with gist XL sb, 2 Ravens, a Drake, and assorted cruisers. There was also some collateral damage to the alliance harboring the target corp.
Money well spent.
Is it great being Amarr? |

Edited by: Aleksandr Cirtus on 28/12/2006 05:35:40 When I heard we were wardec'ed by the Privateers, a group of our corp decided to have a little fun in empire. Unfortunately, these Privateers are only used to tacking wins against rich pickings who cannot fight, and don't win real confrontations. -V- and LV provide better sport, and they stay docked in station all day.
But as an upside, one of the more unique and interesting ideas to grace empire space. It's nice to have to keep a battle sense about you in systems above 0.4.

Yes! He is correct! We don't like fights. Or when they have alliance mates in the same system. That is exactly why we took on a drake and a ferox (drake was for sure T2 fitted as seen by the loot) at the same time with a gang of two interceptors, an incursus, a vexor (with T1 drones) and a stealth bomber (without T2 cruise and mostly T1 fitted). The ferox turned tail when the drake went pop and we lost only the incursus, although I, in an inty did come out with only about 12% structure left (damn target painters).
And the destroyer (arbitrator) that I took on in an inty, almost got smoked by the T2 Hammerheads. Not looking for capable foes at all, especially because the destroyer is *not* the anti-frigate ship.
Also there was the tempest that went down hard to my inty and a rupture, and he had friends in the system who began to engage, then managed to warp off and then dock.
No, us privateers never look for a fight, ask the LV zealot that we took out with a small gang, as well. Or the AXE ferox and drake. And that was just in a few days.

I remember a similar post from Imperium allaince members saying " I wonder why our 15 man blob isnt encountering any Privateer pilots??? Privateers are terd they dont fight us, I dont see any of them etc"
Then the very next day PRIVATEER ALLIANCE PILOTS LOCATED AND DESTROYED AN IMPERIAL FREIGHTER LADEN WITH A POS AND POS FITTINGS AND FUEL. To give the Imperium Alliance pilots credit, some of them did then repost saying they were wrong and they had underestimated us, and we were Uber (well i made the uber bit up :).
Quote: group of our corp decided to have a little fun in empire.
Alliance pilot comments like this exasperate me. How many times do i have to explain we are NOT WARDECING YOU TO ALLOW YOUR PILOTS TO HAVE A "LITTLE FUN IN EMPIRE". WE ARE WARDECCING YOU TO ALLOW OUR PILOTS TO ENGAGE IN COMBAT WHEN THEY WANT HOW THEY WANT AND WITH WHAT THEY WANT. This means we will often be hitting you where it hurts (in the wallet) not taking your blobs on, although when it suits us we band together for a while and take out your camps.
Quote: Privateers are only used to tacking wins against rich pickings who cannot fight
Hoorah - This much you seem to understand. I can confirm many of our pilots are after your defenceless valuable targets laden with loot.
Quote: But as an upside, one of the more unique and interesting ideas to grace empire space.
Thank you for your generous comment. This is indeed one of the founding principals of the Privateers and Privateer Alliance. And a prime reason why the Privatters are an EXTREMLY COST EFFECTIVE option to harass, tie up, and gank your enemys if you choose to hire us.
Originally by: Lootcatcher I think its a great idea! Every alliance flies full haulers of megacyte from 0.0 under their own name since no one ever dares wardeccing them, its a lot safer then say using a noobcorp.
This post drips with sarcasm. It also drips with ignorance. The privateers and Privateer Alliance have destroyed 4 laden alliance FREIGHTERS, and ransomed one more. We have also destroyed hundereds of industrail ships
These kills range from the*****-sure vets flying the freighter thorugh empire whilst knowing they are at war (BOOM), to noobs in iteron 1's, through Lazy peeps in T2 industrials taking a chance, to dumb miners thinking they are safe in their out of the way system. I am constantly astounded by the risks Alliance pilots take with expensive ships and expensive loot.
It frustrates me when people question the "cost-effectivness" of hiring us. You get 100% blanket coverage of empire (our pilots get kills literaaly in all cornes of empire). Hundereds of pilots risking their ships and pods for you. And all you end up paying is the equivalent cost of a cheep battleship for a week of harrasement! WORK IT OUT.
If this service was available when I was a younger pilot flying solo. I would have SNAPPED IT UP after being ganked on a gate by a blob. For the price of a few missions, I could have given the blobbers a week of pain. The privateers would only have had to have killed one battleship and the damage would have been more then i paid!

I wholeheartedly like your concept, especially the part about fighting for war dec costs.
Would be fun to wardec ones own corp from a noob :)
Do you also do "racial" jobs? As in killing only caldari pilots, if so I'd really consider it, as I loathe the missile spewing trash.

Of course we would do racial warfare. We are rp'ing this privateer concept so why not got involved in that area as well.
