Warfare & Tactics

Price depends on the job of course.

Not petty stuff like head-hunting or private bounties. I was thinking anything from harassment like poaching and pushing POS's into reinforcement and stuff like that all the way up to full on push-so-and-so-out-of-the-system sort of warfare. I mean this as a legit WT question which is why I posted it here. So price ranges for legitimate combat ranging from small strategic harassment campaigns to the full on break their backs sort of deal.

The cost of a contract will vary depending on what you want to happen to who and who you want to do it. If you want work done in highsec that involves a war declaration you will also have to cover that basic cost. Depending on the contract the mercenaries may want you to agree to a Pay Per Kill rate instead of or in addition to taking a lump sum, in this case you will be expected to pay a pre-set ISK value for every ship destroyed.

Also anything that happens in a wormhole is going to cost you billions.

Again, you're going to be paying billions. Because low and nullsec are environments where suddenly supercarriers happens and because taking down a properly set up POS tower often takes the dedication of quite alot of assets on multiple occasions for fairly long periods of time the payment will have to be enough to someone willing to put those assets at risk.

In highsec for taking down POS towers the situation is slightly different, relatively few highsec corps will even attempt to defend a POS tower, more likely is that they will drop their tower from the alliance that the corp is in once the tower is reinforced and take the tower down during the period where it is not possible to shoot the tower, as such you'll likely be paying for "POS removal" rather than "POS destruction". Because of the absence of capital ships in highsec taking down a properly set up POS tower with manned guns requires the dedication large numbers of ships (in highsec terms) for a very long period of time so the price is again likely to be high simply because the process is so tedious.

For POS towers the smaller and more poorly set up the tower the cheaper it should be to contract someone to remove it.

i'm not affiliated with these guys in any way

i have seen NOIR. operate as a well oiled machine and have heard they do mercenary work
as another guy posted
for wormhole mercenary work there Narwhals are the go to guys

Helpful .. thank you. ISK can be found.

Give me a number on the job I can't afford please and thank ya? Trillions? Hundreds of billions?

It depends on the quality of the work you want.

There are people who'll camp in Jita and blow up a few ships for you for just the cost of a wardec. Better mercenary corps will charge 500 mil to a billion, and chase them to wherever in Empire space they happen to live and engage them there. Even better mercenary corps will charge even more and do some pretty deep research and start going after allied corporations and probable alts.

Then you get GHSC, who'll take sixty billion off you, disappear for two to six months, and suddenly the target you specify and everyone he's ever loved will collapse spectacularly in a gigantic firestorm of rage, distrust and suicidal depression.

i followed the links, fully intending to take the ****, but cool logos.....nice work.

Just trying to get a lay of the land as it were, of course when the time comes I shall be be properly cloak and dagger about the whole thing.
