It comes back in the window when you realize that the individual contract bounties aren't going to be funding any significant wars. Once a duster can be in an Eve based corp, the corporation wallet can be stuffed to the gills with Eve ISK. Corporate funding will eventually come from taxes and planetary complex ownership profits. Only very horrible and short lived alliances ask their troops to pay for their own gear.

Once the market opens up you'll also find very sharp market players that rarely fight but make tons more ISK than the highly skilled shooter.

A lot of people will if im honest.

People would rather put their money into a corp they know they can trust and has the political motivations than a neutral party that could go **** goons on them, skills not as important as trust in this game.

You'll find this a lot, even after i've been chatting with a lot of people in EVE and their respective alliances you'll find this is the general feeling, You're not going to be "for hire" every match, you're going to have to pick a side and stick with it for quite some time to get anything of value.

You obviously don't know how OS works. There will be cool downs you'll also have to make sure the enemy can't fire back or what if they have a space fleet of there own. I love the fact that some people think they'll just be shooting strikes all day!

Because that ISK that you got could be used to fuel your single account for a very long time if you not only screwed over the corp that the contract is from but the corp that your in.

Trust is the most precious asset available in this game. If you're a simple Merc fighting for the higest bidder you won't get the big contracts because of the level of trust involved, they will be kept internally because of the importance of them and the ISK involved.

EVE has Merc corps in it already, who fight for the highest bidder no matter their side or size and non of them are major players because of the ramifications of not being involved with anything and having no trust, they are not rich, they just about get by typically.

There's been many instances of these merc corps swapping sides in a fight because they got a better offer, you'd do the same in their position if your only interest is your bank account and fair play if thats all you want but you'd be missing out on a lot the game has to offer if you don't fight for a cause.

. Glory hounds need to go back to cod or mag and leave us alone. Oh wait, they left those games cause they weren't fun anymore. Oh, why is that? Cause everyone's a glory hound and a pain in the a**? Ahh. That's too bad

lol you have found the underlying concept of dust right now.
