Don't ever mistake the ability to hire alot of mercs to take someone's stations for a permanent solution to your problem.
Taking an alliance's space is only a definite 'win' if said alliance is left in no shape to retaliate at a later date.
Mercs are a temporary solution, and always will be. In the end, your ability to devestate rather then just remove your enemy is key if you're loking for a permanent solution.
Mercs can be used to remove, but to devastate you need to keep up that pressure for far longer then the average merc contract lasts.

What if MC/KIA/OO + friends were hired for 6 months..... you think this is impossible? Because I tell you now it certainly isn't.
I am not a natural capatilist, but ISK = anything is possible.
Taking a 6 month contract of which 5 months would be sitting around in a 0.0 npc region or empire hunting for small gangs and and npc'ers would break your corp Eddz.
If IAC hold together, and if LV calls it a night when the IAC stations are taken, IAC are going to have the last laugh here, even if it'll cost them.

No merc corp in Eve is currently capable of handling any of the medium to big allainces on their own, bar maybe the MC.
So much for rotating.
Sure, isk is power. But to use it you need people, and you can only hire so many for so long. It's both cheaper and better in the long run to use other things then isk to bind those users of your power to you.
