A Squad leader of a corp that has taken on a Corp Contract CAN bring in players belonging to different Corporation that are in his squad at the time to a Corp Battle

Attention

Example: We had a corp ZionTCD v No Name and we were able to bring a meber of Betamax in with one of our squad.

Any thoughts or comments on this?

i was just thinking about something like this. i dont disagree with it, but i can see how it could ruin a pure CvC. maybe CCP could have an option in the contract that states everyone has to be of the same corp. otherwise, wouldn't this be paying other corps to fight for you?

edit: if there is no fix then it could be possible to take up another corp members spot in a battle, i see how a corp could get upset that a spot went to another corporations member. easily done with the current 8v8

They're mercenary contracts, not clan matches. Subcontracting is perfectly valid.

If someone else wants to join in, that should be entirely between that person and whichever corp accepted the contract. "Mercenary" is not just another word for "soldier" in EVE/DUST. It's actually just what it sounds like: someone who gets paid to fight for someone else and there is tons of precedent for this in EVE.

A lot of you still don't get it and still have this FPS clan match mentality.

I don't know where you're getting this from. I'm not in-game to check if they rearranged the tabs in the battle finder, but I'm pretty sure the corp battles show up under the Corporation tab, not the Mercenary one.

It's still a mercenary contract, it's just going to a whole corp instead of individuals. I believe it even lists who hired the corp and that's who pays you and who you pay collateral to.

Keep in mind that mercenary corps live and die by their reputation. If a corporation has a reputation for getting the job done, being discreet when necessary, and just being generally professional, they'll get more contracts and more lucrative ones. Most contracts were secret arrangements, so our CEO never revealed who hired us or why, but we were rarely bored and we were paid well, which is about all a merc can ask for.
