ISK
1.125M per merc and pay each merc 1M. It wouldn't be hard to do if you were well know and trusted. I can't believe that we have seen a FW for hire corp either. I think that a big problem is the EVE connections, no one seems to care about anything. In EVE people are passionate about their corporation and/or faction but DUST seems to be more lone wolf type of play. A good contractor corp could swing FW to the highest bidder anytime they wanted if they had the talent.
Might even could talk to a rich EVE FW pilot and get some ISK EVE side to help entice DUST players, that is if Spero still does the money transfers. They should start allowing ISK transfers with a high tax. I would fit better gear more often if I could get into my EVE ISKies because I am not good enough to turn a good profit and I feel broke if I don't have 25M in my wallet.

A six merc ringer squad would probably turn 50% of the battles.

Maybe I'm being dense or missing the point but: If I hire a group of 6 mercs, pay them 6 million ISK, and have them play FW, how do *I* make ISK?
That I don't know. I guess you would have other ways of funding your war chest. I figured that the people hiring the mercs were well heeled so ISK wasn't a problem. Making ISK in DUST is not as easy as it is in EVE, here in DUST there are few ways to make loads of ISK, I guess if you are really good, have access to a corp wallet or PC then it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Without a market and trading FW is a huge ISK sink and is played by people who are well off, RPers or like the challenge.

"... but I'm a mercenary, I don't judge your ambitions. I only judge what you can afford. Pay my price and I'll strike down the heavens..." I think we our attitude in Dust is exactly what it is suppose to be. The Caldari should have to pay for their mercs. That would be keeping with the FW lore. Let the Amarr fight for God, the Matari fight for freedom or revenge, the Gallente for ****. If the Caldari want to win, the better throw down some ISK.
I agree that the passion for ISK and fighting is the main driver for the game but at the same time there are those who are very much into the racial thing. To be honest I wished more people had the drive to fight for an ideal instead of cash but that is a different story.
We are mercenaries and we fight for the reasons we want and that is the only truth, ISK really only buys us time in a suit and the ability to kill quicker. I think if we had cosmetic items and other ways to spend ISK it would be different but right now the love of money only buys violent deaths and the ability to do it again.
I would be happy with an ISK casino where I could play Black Jack, Poker and slots. Think how fun a New Eden themed casino would be, throw in some Slay just to have something different.
