Crime & Punishment

These guys were merciless to us when we were a new corp.

They're relentless; they decced us for three weeks! They got some pretty blingy kills too, one of which was my own. Technically, two were my own -- I had loaned a ship to a friend who had gotten killed in it. Sigh. (I didn't link them all as it would take some effort to find them, but you get the idea.)

We tried to fight these little bastards. We plotted to take them down in a blaze of glory. We got all of our guys in T1 frigs fit for ECM and tackling (we were mostly made up of new players at the time), set up all of their clones in a station in the staging area, ready to reship with dozens of ships in the hangars, and out we came! I was not ready to fly battleships yet, but I needed to be as tanky as possible. I knew if I undocked, they'd primary me, and they did. Our goal was to have them focus on me while our T1 frigs caused some havoc and a few battleships could snipe them. Things didn't go as planned; we couldn't get the composition, our former alliance engaged them right before we were ready, and I made a bad call and had my guys primary Raz. :P

It was a good fight, that could have ended very differently, which shows they're willing to engage in a good fight and take some risks. After that, we didn't much want to deal with them any longer, so we decided to hire our own mercs and evade them as much as we could. This was helpful, but it didn't prevent them from hunting us and engaging us when it suited them. I can say with certainty they are very smart about the way they go about their business. Our first fleet engagement Raz sat outside his home station letting us pummel him; only later did I realize he was assessing our DPS! And they don't just camp market hubs; they'll locate you, figure out what you're doing, and patiently wait to ambush you. We learned a lot from that war, and while it was difficult, it made us stronger in some ways.

I wouldn't call these guys friends, but I do believe mercs serve an important role in Eve, and having been on the receiving end of their contract...I know what they're capable of. Aside from one incident at the end, I felt they were very professional to us, willing to communicate constructively, and honestly, fun to play with in some ways.

TL;DR: I only encountered their main corp so I can't really comment on their alliance, but when it comes to Raz and Tearz, run away and never log in again!

Put another way, I endorse this product and/or service. (This entire post was meant as an endorsement in a light-hearted manner.)

BUMP!

Having some merc friends help too (see their bio)
