Aaaaaaaammmmmeeeeen MICs people.

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.

I guess we'll just have to see. I think the mega alliances are going to be doing some heavy handed politicking to get the strong players on their sides. Like I said, who cares how many assets you have when your soldiers are constantly being stomped into the ground and your planets keep being taken away from you. Scrubs are good fillers, and they'll do alright if you arm them to the teeth, but at the end of the day, skill trumps ISK, all day, every day.

Another aspect lacking right now is in a corp you run missions with the same group. While STD and a handful of others...

STD has been changed to STI, for your information...

. 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

Another aspect lacking right now is in a corp you run missions with the same group. While STD and a handful of others already run together, things will change when everyone is used to how their team plays. Kdr kittens get most of their kills on solo stragglers and new guys. When each squad is formed with friends, they will have to change their game just like the tankers.

There will always be the 'oh crap! Sonso is here!' moments. But those will become more focused to corps/alliances than certain players.

On the money concepts flying around. A corp is going to be a bit more pissed that their mercs lost the 2bill isk MCC than they'll be happy that you topped the chart again. I don't care what suit your in or how much it costs, the goal is always the win. 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

Yeah right you forget that skilled players know how to use their equipment properly. A n00b who thinks he can dominate now with a high end tank gets his butt kicked when they face a good team. Seriously think before posting. Look at this like that:
what is a proto null canon on the ground good for if you lose controll over it?
What are tanks good for when the other team is good and coordinates their AV guys?
What is a proto assault rifle good for when the user cant even hit the broad side of a barn?

Seriously skill> gear any time. And besides good players will allways have more and better gear then n00bs simply because good players doesnt die so much like n00bs who go 0-10. After all every player started with 0. Means every 1 had militia gear to begin with. You might want to get the new merc pack to get permament access to Type-1 suits cause everything else is to expensive to get.

Will we even have deployable null cannons or even proto null cannons considering they're an objective? And wouldn't any behind the redline push the redline back to avoid nub insta win

its ccp we're talking about here ofc u will! Just cause we have these lame pre-made objectives doesn't mean that thats it. some player owned territories i imagine will have null cannons set by them. so in other words your going after realish objectives that players have invested time and real money into. for instance players in eve can make stations, in null sec that station might be a tactical objective for the attacking side. again time and money was spent on that station.

That's it.

DANCE OFF!!!!

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