Iv been thinking about some kind of mercenary system. A player (that does not belong to any corp) could put his name on a "global mercenary" list where all the bigger corps could recruit people for fleet fights. The idea also came to me from my own experience in eve, where i end up doing nothing because i really dont know what to do.
Also i think there are a lot of people and newbies that would like to participate to fleet fights or ops for free just to see the action.

There could also be some kind of mercenary corps, but i guess they are already made.

The only minus i find is spying, anyone could make a new character then apply to an attack that is going to happen next week or tomorrow and so on. They would not be told nothing more of course.

I can also see a bunch of a troll group betraying the people that hired them and starting to kill em.

I didn't find a similar idea so please tell me if this idea has already been suggested.

There are plenty of merc corps and players around as it is, why do we need a system for it?

Well I like this idea, for those who dont want to be forced to the rules of a corp all the time, but who are willing to risk their ship and Life for isk. Maybe there could be a new kind of contracts for mercenary jobs.
