The rented merc should appear, in corp battles, as a member of the corp that hired them but this would NOT appear on their Employment History once that's implemented. It's not an employment change since they're still employed by their parent corp.

This is the only part i do not agree with, if someone "hires" you then you are in theory being "employed" to play. It should appear on your Employment History as a loan or something along thoose lines, not a corp move or anything like that.

Great idea though, more for the Meta gaming side of DUST. My only addition would be a fee to the players parent corp should be included also.

Surely the payment would all go to the players parent corp, and they would determine the Mercs remuneration? This would have the benefit of establishing a potential income stream for those Corps with a number of impressive players, and would also allow the formation of Freelance Corps.

If/when taxing is implemented, merc work could be taxed at a higher or lower rate, depending on the corporation in question.

Since we're all mercenaries, and therefor corporate assets, I'd like to see the ability for corporations to rent said assets to other corporations on a per-use/per-mission basis.

In the Dust Tournament there were several instances where mercs were recruited by corporations competing in the tournament from corporations who weren't. This would allow the merc to remain a part of their parent corporation but function as a full member of the corp they are loaned out to for the duration.

It's less complicated then it sounds. If I call a plumber from Plumbers Inc and they send someone over but that plumber doesn't work for BetaMax they still work for Plumbers Inc.

This would require director approval from both corporations and some kind of automated message would be sent to the merc upon the transfer...I mean we're just corporate assets so being told that I'm getting transfered by a director is just a courtesy.

Yea this would deff work for the corps cut. OFC this just makes it even more important to expand on the current corp tax system.
Especially in relation to eve-dust.

Great idea. Especially if one corp has a specialty or something, like say a corp is known for having the best AV guys or something. You could rent them from that corp for however matches, etc. Another avenue for ISK. +1
