This is a simple little topic to talk about later additions the game may have, small bits and pieces to make being a merc easier and make interacting with players on EVE more appealing.
One of the main ideas swimming in my own head involves the talk about making some items unlimited. Now, before I get flamed let me be clear, this idea isn't to make an item unlimited. It's for corporations that have squads they "prefer" to take on their contracts for. It's something that can be offered in the missions given, like an added bonus to entice squads to go with it.
The idea is this, when a Corp offers up a contract for teams to take on, or perhaps just a squad for any covert ops style missions. Said Corp can offer to pay for the used fittings (maybe both drop suit and vehicle) that are destroyed during an engagement. This might also be something they offer only to the top squad at the end of the match. It would make taking on Corp matches even more worthwhile and it will push mercs to do even better, working even more with their squad to win that bonus.
If others have any more ideas, shoot and fire them on and talk them out. |

You're quite right Vint about what EVE players will think of us mercs. But it will be up to us to change their thoughts to the better. In the meantime, something you said brought something to mind.
In EVE there are Pirate Corps that steal and destroy others, what if there are pirate mercs as well? Like you said, they rebel and conquer, they could also add another level of depth to this game series if you allow pirate merc attacks. They could even represent the PvE gameplay of this game. Or they could be mercs that band together just to fight and kill. Like some players that just like being douches and go around killing things during take and hold missions(I don't like them that much.). The Pirates could also be a randomized event during matches to add chaos to the mix, like PvEs that come in to try and sabotage the turrets to take out a ship or they're trying to kill a lot of players. It would give the opposing sides a kind of reason to work together for a short time till the pirates are dealt with. |
