High Sec - Wardec Intel Gathering Service

Our Website: VoynichDecoded.com

Lets face it, High Sec War Deccing can be a costly and fruitless effort in today's New Eden. Most corporations are spending billions a week in wardecs with the majority of them yielding little to nothing by the end of them. I've personally spent over 800 million ISK in a high Sec war Deccing effort in less than two weeks with very little yield only to realize that in today's New Eden, you can either blanket wardec corporations in hopes of running into a random War Target, or do your homework on a corporation prior to war deccing them and go at them full force with positive results from day one. However, to properly scout and compile necessary intel on a corp can easily take a week or two and by the time you have a grasp on the corporation, you've already spent 50 to 200m isk trying to catch a random target off guard while gathering intel on the corp (if you've tried gathering intel at all) while already at war with them which can prove very uneventful.

This notion spawned a new career goal for myself and my corporation in that, we have launched the Voynich Decoded Intel Reporting Service.

We will be starting out by gathering intel on a small number of corps to then compile into comprehensive reports that will be sold to mercenary corporations looking to hit the ground running from the first minute of an active wardec. This service will primarily be offered to smaller merc groups without the ability to cover vast areas of space at once and prefer to know where to be at what time to catch their targets off guard.

Our Pre-War Dec Intel Reports Will Include but not be limited to the following Intel
A. How many/which members of the corp are active.
B. What ships do the active members fly.
C. What systems do the active members frequent in what ships
D. What times of day can I expect to see X member online
E. What are the Kill/Losses of the corp
F. Do they roam in fleets?
G. Do they run missions solo or together?
and more.

All of the intel necessary to plan your war dec prior to initiating the war.

Our Intel Reports can be purchased in one of two ways:
A. If you are a Pre-Approved Merc Corp you can be added to our newsletter which will announce the latest reports compiled by our scouts and spies.
B. You can purchase a report prior to it being completed at which point we will initiate the intel gathering process immediately and deliver the report when completed (Expect 1 to 2 week delivery time depending on the size of the corp.

As an Introduction to our services and in order to obtain testimonials from clients, our rates are as follows and will be subject to change in the future.

Up to 25 Member Corporation - 50m ISK
Up to a 100 Member Corp/Alliance 150m ISK

Fly Safe Policies
Perhaps you are an industry corporation looking to build yourselves up prior to being targeted by mercenary corps with a leg up on you. We offer a "Fly Safe" Policy that guarantees that you will not be the target of our scouting/intel gathering efforts for a period of 3 months. This service is a first come, first serve service in that, so long as you purchase a policy prior to a client wanting to purchase a Report on your corp, we will honor whichever client came first.

The Fly Safe Policy does not guarantee that you will not be War Decced, it merely promises not to provide support to your aggressor in the form of our intel reports.
These policies cost 100m ISK for a 3 months period and are taken very seriously.

For further information relating to these services, please visit our F.A.Q on our website.

Thank you and we look forward to working with you.

Keeping in mind current game mechanics and how mercs currently operate, anyone who pays these chumps to 'not scout them' (try to prove I'm not scouting you w/ a neutral alt by the way) is the opposite of smart.

I'm offering a new service also. If you send me 100 mil isk I won't think about you or your corp (honest)


This is the worst extortion idea to come along in probably 12 years.


EDIT ADD: Anyone that takes the click bait and goes to their website is also more than likely the opposite of smart.

First of all..

Looking at your killboard, why would a client ask you for intel?
It seems like you guys have issues finding them, or even able to kill your own targets.

And.. "fly safe" policy, wtf?
I do have to agree With Serendipity on this one.
If people is stupid enough to go for that, I dont know what to think..

In attempt to clear some confusion.

Voynich Decoded is not available for hire to help you "win" a war through direct combat.
We simply don't have the manpower (yet) for most skirmishes.

Yes, I'm aware that most "merc" corps never show up to help defend structures or assist in wars even after paid up front retainers.

Our services at Voynich Decoded are meant for those who plan to war dec corps for their own personal gain, be it on behalf of a client or simply because thats what they do.

Yes, looking at our killboard you will see that while we are able to locate members of corps and keep track of them, map out their operations etc, we simply lack the manpower to engage groups of pilots. You can likely ask the CEO of Tru2Eve how well we were able to track their corp members and be "everywhere at once". Even though we didn't blow up their members, they knew many times we were in a position to do so and they were always ready to fight. The CEO and I established a mutual respect and left each other alone. All of that was in effort to establish ourselves and our capabilities. We also knew that while one pilot was 5m from us, they always had several more merely a couple of jumps away and we knew where they were so we didnt attempt combat with them.

As for this being some sort of scam, or not doing anything, providing reports etc, all I can say is, try it. If we fail to provide what we claim we will, then we ultimately made 50m to 150m for all of the work we put into our website, video, etc.

There is a limit as to the number of clients we can take at one time as we can currently only accept one at a time until we have increased our numbers, but that will happen in time.

In the meantime, if you have a corp under 100 members that are not associated with an alliance and you'd like to see how we perform, give us a try.

I doubt someone paying for a service, that you guys fail providing would be happy funding your "website, viideo, etc"

Wait.. What???

So you knew they were going to bring a fight... and that's what justified you not engaging??? That's pure gold. Please, keep telling me more!

Please post on your main.
Alts posting really doesnt mean much.

If you lack the courage of your convictions, its probably not really worth saying, is it?

No, I was talking to Serendipity but I had something confused.

Look, I get that everyone wants to shoot this down and like everything else, try to tear it down before it's built so I'm just going to let everyone have their forum fun posting all of the negativity that you apparently need to vent off and will update this thread later once we have completed the first contract.

Thanks.

I say go for it. I mean if you can confuse me for a forum posting alt.... You've got skills that many established merc corps need. I was going to pay you the 100 mil isk to not out my main, but I think that ship sailed.

Whoa man, you're getting a lot of flak here for simply trying to provide a new, honest-to-goodness much-needed service. You're just trying to build your own little castle in this here our communal sandbox. Seems like a lot of people don't get that.

But me? I feel you. Really, I do. And I want to help you get started in this new venture.

I'll tell you what I do: I'll audit your service, website and all, to make sure everything is on the up-and-up and then I'll post my results here in this very thread for everyone to see your good intentions and that you are, in fact, legit.

Naturally, I won't do this for free. I'm no space millionaire billionaire for nothing, right? My charge for this service is 1 billion ISK, half up front. A small price to pay, surely, to show your new service is worthwhile.

I'm afraid this isn't possible due to the nature of our business. We honor the first client on the books. If we did what you proposed, it would be impossible for us to build up our reputation. My main priority in building this service is in clients knowing what they can expect and some of this is explained in our FAQ.

In your original post in GD you yourself said that this character was an 8 year-old alt.

The difference being that I operate with this alt as a main and dont use it strictly to troll others.

I've never seen the sense of just randomly trolling everyone I see. I have more important and less childish things to focus my energy on. But, to each their own I guess. It's all a bit silly.
