I would like to discuss an idea I've had for a while.
The base premise is that a 2 – 6 man logi squad would be available to hire at an agreed rate and would provide reps in highsec so long as the employer remains unsuspect/uncriminal. Basically resulting in them openly causing chaos against they’re enemies and resulting death.

Logistic Mercenaries.

So to conclude, what do people think of the idea?
Is it something that has been done before or is it something people might use?


I was also thinking about just a flat out hireable team that follow the fleet anywhere (low/null), but obviously this would be less safe to begin with and could result in some easy ganks.

Some of the Merc Corps already provide this service, but it' still a good idea and I'm sure you could get work. I find most of the time when we are hired, the clients don't have a combat fleet of their own, or just no desire to fight themselves. Hit me up in game and we can talk about it, I could use a dedicated logistics wing on many of the contacts I run.

One thing you might want to be aware of is that remote repping anyone with a weapons timer (ie. your employers) will cause your logistics to become suspect, thus they can be engaged by anyone in highsec.

I know this happens if "neutral logi" reps someone with a weapons timer, but a corpmate will only gain a weapons timer.

What if it's an ally in a war instead of a corpmate? Would logi still go suspect instead of just catching the weapons timer?

Why don't you offer a link boat service too. You could really help those pro 'solo' players.
