Can you make a team have a role

Like team A has to be AV, team B logi etc

Or is it hire the 10teams and you have no control over them

The biggest problem you will face is after capturing to hold a planet. Which means you would require a minimum of 160 players to capture a planet and atleast 320 to hold to it. Zerg alliances dont count as zergs will be beaten easily. There is only one alliance at this point in time that can put up quality numbers to the best of my knowledge.

it's the kind of question where ask "I wonder who would ally with my corp" and where the eve politics style of play comes in. when we get friendly fire there's going to be a lot of "bad blood" because regnum ran over darkcloud or adski "accidentally" put a nade on cazaderon 3 times etc etc. be interesting to see I guess :)

but I don't think it's going to come to "we can't get enough players to hold this" a few of these corps will swollow their pride and merge the most active / promising players to take it all.

my concern is how much of the player pool will be taken up by a few corporations so a 1:1 corp battle over a planet will be required by launch and how many players will actually be playing.

to answer the question though I would just look at the tournament results. maybe include stb but that's it.

I dont think i could pick 10 tbh, i would end up with having less than 10 atm

Well if its 16v16 my list would be this:

3 teams of Imperfects
1 team of Pink.Fluffy.Bunnies
1 team of Synergy
1 team of What the French
1 team of SI
1 team of Tritan
1 team of Rift
1 team of Zion

In that order.

It based off how many skilled players each corp can field as a team and their solo skill each player possesses.

0.0? I'd hire whoever is green. Which by the time we get to 0.0 will be very few. OB records might be a factor if said null sec entity has been blasting people off their planets from space...
Tbh, even factional war will depend greatly on who is red and who is blue. Yeah, stating the obvious I know, but really, would you hire people you've spent 1-2 years fighting already, just because it's 0.0?

Better question for you imperfects. Were you to need to hire 10 corps to attack on your behalf because you are tied up with other engagements, who would it be? Omni has already offered up his opinion. REgNum is an acceptable answer.

Isn't enough information from the beta about this yet.

Yeah, corps like the imperfects are good in a tiny scenario like we fight in now- but what about when they actually have to use real strategy and organisation?

FYI: Nullsec alliances (the corps in particular that have a use for mercs) will probably organize their own teams in-game and not hire others that often.

At least that's how I see it going...
