Who's the biggest and baddest merc corp now that MC is busy 24/7? Enquiring minds want to know. When I say biggest and baddest I mean able to field at least 10 dreads with at least 50 support, bare minimum.

Me! I'm the biggest baddest merc corp. I can personally fly 12 dreads with more than 70 support.

I think KIA and MC were the only true mercenary corps that could field those numbers and potentially only MC that could have fielded 10 Dreads plus 50 Support. I would guess that KIA have grown their capabilities since starting the Tortugan campaign.
Mercenary Services Alliance are useful in small empire wars and have a few caps. Trinity Nova Corp seem to be doing very well at the moment and have a cap fleet. Omniscient are also a good option with cap capable pilots.
Can't say I really rate privateers at all but that's just a personal opinion of course. They have little history of focussed mercernary work from what I can see and rely too much upon the history of war dec'cing everyone they could and hoping to get a random gank as someone flew past them as opposed to actively hunting their targets.

Privateers are bunch of ****ers anyway. I suggest you don't waste your hard ebayed ISK on them thou. They only operate in empire's trade hubs. Not worth of your time. Don't consider.

yeah I know a lot about privateers and Repo, both great bunches of people by the way, and with Repo you know what you are getting, they do the job, and they don't give you a bunch of BS lies and stuff. Repo gives you what you pay for.
Seems Eve is still a bit weak in the merc area when it comes to true full-on alliance busting potential. I mean if MC and Seleene are STILL BOGGED DOWN with Bob, and don't answer requests for contracts, and that's the best we have in Eve, I'd say we need some improvement.
Isk isn't an issue in a game where people have 100's of billions of isk. But if the merc corps can't handle it, well then that's a sad state of affairs imho. A 10 man cap fleet with 40-50 support is a SMALL corp's worth of stuff, as opposed to tiny and miniscule. |

Edited by: Koryvarn on 14/02/2008 01:10:52 Mournival as mentioned earlier, have a decent rep, but not sure about 50 ships and 10 dreads. Also worth a looksie is Legion, they seem like a bunch of nasties you wouldn't want coming round for tea.
There was a huge fad with merc corps last summer, so it's kinda a proffession in decline at the moment, and with plenty of pew pew in the north, south and drone regions, there aren't many bored pvp'ers about to either wardec carebears, meaning less need for carebears to hire mercs, which continues the decline.

The thing about MC is, if you sent Seleene or someone a message right now and told them your POS is coming out of reinforced in an hour and a half and you don't want it to poof, MC would have a 30-man cap blob there in 45 minutes.
REPO could probably come up with those numbers given plenty of advance notice, but not right on the spot. I'm gonna go with Privateers just for sheer numbers though.

Without a doubt we could bring out 10 dreads...40-50 support if we absolutely had to.
As far as only fighting in Empire trade hubs, thats not entirely true. We prefer the juicy haulers and shuttles full of faction gear. Myself and a few others have been in and out of 0.0 quite a bit lately visiting old friends..lol

People rate the privateers as a single unit. Its nice that people dont expect any corps within the privateers to be organised and extremely pvp able.
Not dissin the alliance *Most* of these guys know what their doing but its clear some are better than others.

So that's it then? The consensus is MC, Repo and Privateers?
And I've ignored the other mentions of "so-n-so maybe has the forces, gee I'm not sure" as meaningless.
The last time I hired privateers to wardec an alliance, they got ONE kill in an entire week. Repo slaughters the enemy as long as it's in low sec or empire. Repo actually delivers. MC is the greatest, but they're still fighting Bob.
I'm pretty disgusted with Eve, is this the best we have?

Nope, but it's the best someone like you can manage to dig up it seems, is that the best *you* can do?
it all depends on what you want done, if you got the isk just about anything is doable, if you know who to talk to, you don't know who to talk to.

The point your missing is that most people who can field those types of numbers on a regular basis also have the ability to take/rent there own space, and have no desire to do mercenary work, as Kublai says if your willing to spend the isk and know who to talk to, theres alliances out there that might do it though.
If your really after a job doing with those sorts of numbers your best bet and probably cheapest is to hire a number of mercenary corps.

Well, I would say you're exactly correct, I don't know who to talk to, apparently. So I posted here. The isk isn't the question, it's finding the "right person to talk to".

Contact me and we can arrange something. We cannot field those numbers on our own but we have enough contacts with serious organisatiosn to provide a combined force should the funds be available.

He's not asking for someone to do a job, he's asking for speculation, reading comprehension is good
Repo definitely have the manpower to pull of a POS save, but we are fairly dread-light and most of our POS takedown fleets do not contain capitals at all, risk management and all
10 dreads, as was asked by the OP, we could easily pull on a weekend with a couple days' notice, but beyond that it's hit and miss, and I would say the same is true of most other empire merc operations

My experience on the other side of repo was positive, and local-smack free. I'm sure there are bigger and badder, but they do their best to get the job done.

Maybe its just me, but this:-

Suggests he might have a contract.
