I've seen all these upstart alliances. They all claim to offer the best service. Statistics aside, who do you believe to be the best bang for your buck? I'm not referring to any who blob lone ships on jita 4-4. I know them all and have formed my opinions, what are yours?

If someone says marmite, we will assume you don't know what you're talking about. Although you are entitled to an opinion, however misguided it is.

It would be in regards to service and isk taken from the aggressor.

I would argue that Light Adama is the hands down best.

Their breadth of services is wider, their CEO is better looking, and they can handle the challenging task of "Umokka Denial".

I know of nobody else competing in the categories of "smacktalk" and "planetary interaction".

I see no competition here.

Well by reputation, from the uninformed carebear side I'd go look up break a wish in high sec if they were still around. If I wanted a piece of null sec for me then its PL. Its hard from a customers point of view I guess as you have to sort through the propaganda and forum sales pitchs.

It really does depend on what I wanted though and the choice really does change on my need. If I just want to deny Jita to some lol highsec corp that kicked my sisters new char cos they dont like girls? then yeah why not marmite?

Assuming you're only referring to empire mercs? From the perspective of hunting general targets of opportunity I don't think there is a huge difference between the largest merc groups - P45, PIRAT and Vendetta. From the perspective of hunting small groups outside of the main pipes/hubs then I think BAW are very good.

All depends on what your main goal is. Trade hubs, targeted systems, what space, etc etc. Every merc alliance has its strong and weak spots. I prefer not to fight against groups like BAW and PIRAT, because they have been flying so long together, that they hardly make any mistakes, which makes them hard to kill. And they almost always fly together in 1 single fleet.

isn't it obvious?
The best alliance is what ever one me and mortlake's beard melvin are in. Blink

Hub Area and Undock denial-

Caldari - vendetta/PE & P45
Amarr - pirat
Gallente - archetype

Pipes

Marmite/P45 & vendetta

Focused

BAW/Devils

I'm abit out of the loop but that's my opinion anyway.

Don't confuse kindness with weakness.

Vexor.

You can get 65k ehp, decent speed, and 400+ dps out of a t1 cruiser with a nice small sig radius.

It costs a few mil.

And it gets mining bonuses.

You are welcome.

From a customers perspective:


Dodixie - Arch

Amarr - Pirate

Trade Routes - Marmite

Posns - Vendetta, Pirate

Jita - ?

Heck - ?

Rens - ?

WH J space - Hole Control

Best Merc FC - DANGERUS4U DEAD

Mardi Gras Floats - BAW

Thieving pirates discuss INTEGRITY; Anarchist gankers give us LAWS; and Whoring merc's cry then blow off clients with INSULTS.

Interesting opinions. I will offer no opinion except I think vendetta are only jita hub huggers. When the marmite ceo waged a personal quest to make my gameplay less fun he hired these guys plus a dozen others, give or take.
BAW is the only group who have actively hunted me, even though they needed 6 t3's and logi. My buddy r' sin escaped which was the best laugh. I think they're mostly inactive now though.
Any more opinions?

I would pay to be hunted by a mardigras float. This is the stuff fantasies are made of. I would give up can flipping for this.

I'm imagining it now. It's glorious.

Today, I am envious of Holey for the second time (I've always been jealous of his face piercings).

Top 3 mercs would be Pl, MC, and Baw.
As Pl responds to most null and low problems, along with MC, baw is a jack of all trades.
