So, I recently was a little screwed over on my main by a corporation. Things went well for a few weeks, participated in ops, made a bit of cash. They had a manufacturing wing, and gave members 50% deposit on any cost of the BPO's they lent to the corp BPO library.

However, the rules were you still had first dibs on the BPO over anyone else.

Turned out the CEO wanted to constantly use my BPO and I rarely had access to it. I complained to him about this, he told me he'd stop using it until it was free again, which wasn't for 2 weeks.

I'm a new player, I mined my ass off to pay for that BPO and then was barely able to use it. I took this up with another one of the directors who then kicked me out of the corp.

So, here is to the mercenary part...

They are a predominately mining corp with a small industrial wing, so I know it would severely hamper their operations if they were kept docked up. I am mainly looking for a merc corp to keep them busy for 3-4 weeks.

The only problem is that they are in an alliance of about 250 members.

So my limited understanding of war dec mechanics are that this will at the very least cost 250mil for a war dec + the merc costs on top of that?

So I was just wondering what the fee would be? I don't have a lot of money as all of it went into the BPO which I lost, so I was just looking for some preliminary prices so I can start working towards.

Thanks so much for reading my massive wall of text.

Merc corps do as they are paid, regardless of circumstances most will honor the contract.

Merc prices can vary from merc group to merc group. Often the size of the target doesn't matter as much as their capabilities and knowledge/skill. I have sent you a mail in game to discuss what you'll be looking at, generally prices aren't discussed on open forums like this.

If there's a limit we're going to hit it eventually.

We get 5-10 new decs a day.

But a lot of them are corps leaving alliances....... seems they don't like wars. Sad And its a mix of fun and paid decs. Paid decs always have prio.
