Or better yet, build a bunch of ships yourself and include them in the merc contract. For a mining & industry company, this seems only natural.

Because honestly, a lot of merc corps aren't in it for profit. They're in it for loads of PvP action. ISK is just something to cover wardec expenses, ammo and ship replacement - so why not just cut out the middle-men on some of those angles and say "Look, here's twenty ships and a ton of ammo to sweeten the deal." Then see how much that can offset their ISK requirement in the contract.

Same, have some fun die a lot and laugh at them while you explode in your cheap frigs. It can be a lot of fun and it is good practice to be honest, you will learn some valuable skills for the next time.

Or alternately buy some cheap retrievers and move into lo-sec (tank the retrievers and fit warp scrams for travel)

do some mining in a quiet system and tell them to come and get you. If they do come to lo-sec and station camp you just contact the local pirates and tell them dinner is served Lol

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

3. If you had the 2b isk to pay the wardeccers, you would be better off spending it on mercs to help you out



I don't often agree with Spank but this time he's right, many many many and really many merc corporations desperately search for targets and accept contracts for accessible prices (500M and even less), then you can also join some alliance that will make it mutual and then they have it deep in the hole who never sees the sun for a while.

Many ways to get rid of scum and bullies, so OP what are you going to do? -be a victim or push their teeth down the throat?

Can't they unmutual the war and withdraw?


You know pretty well mechanics are the same for everyone, the way you use them yada ya. Starting by contact serious merc corps would be a nice beginning for these dudes, eventually learn with them some pvp basics and aggression mechanics so eventually at some point they can ruin those guys day with 2 fingers up and a nice local flood for lols and giggles.

There are enough mechanics in high sec for them to defend themselves or contract defenders under rules of engagement, even then if it's not enough, a good gank of a couple expensive ships with T1/T2 cheapo frigs/cruisers it's always fun and worth of those rage&tears.

Indeed, and most of those pirate corporations have high sec wardec/merc alts, they often know something about pvp and gate camps (lol) how to deal with pubbies+you learn a lot of useful stuff with them.

I would have decced them for you. Rotten Legion was a merc corp for a while. But now we're all pirates, so we can't help you. Sorry.

I think this is shaping up to be one of those beautiful things that results in good times for everyone.

You could put the 2b as bounty on their corp - I'm sure they'll like it that way. It also gives an incentative for your corp mates to go kill them. Pirate
