We are immortal mercenary. Government and civilians are afraid of us and despise us. However, the empires need us to fight for them and even if they do hate us plus they cannot do anything because they can never get rid of us. So my understanding is that mercenaries might not be respected among the society of New Eden, yet we are the most powerful, most superior if you will. Then, why do we fight? Just for the money and resources? Why do we need money and resources if we are immortal? Can someone help me to understand this please? |

Kovak Therim wrote:We aren't truly immortal is what I was saying. Our governments still hold the reigns on us. For now at least. They don't hate us so long as we are useful to them. However, if an uprising were to occur at some point that would change very quickly. To answer the OP, you fight for whatever and whoever you wish. You go where the ISK is. Like the video says, we may be called back to fight a war on our home soil at some point.
But we do that fight for out factions though, we are supposedly to fight for whoever pays the most. Thus, it's most likely that we are going against out factions. |

Don't quiet catch what you mean.. if we dont have a clone to jump to, we are dead to the world. we are not invulnerable. we can be dead dead.
Does that mean out faction is allowing for us to live, thus allowing for us to actually fight them? |

There is a real role-playing (I know, bad word) element to Dust, or there will be. You can choose to not take a contract that pits you against your own if you don't want to. I wouldn't take a contract that pits me against the Gallente, for example. I might choose to accept a contract that has me fighting a war for someone just because the other side are the enemies of the Gallente. If my government were to attempt to betray me and my cloned brothers and sisters in some way, then that stance might change. That is up to CCP and where they want to take the New Eden storyline.
But then how are you different from Gallente Federation's military soldiers? What makes you "mercenary"? |

I'll gladly fight for money, just not against my own people. If someone who is Gallente is on the other side, however, I will have to end them. They will have made their choice. Nothing I can do about that.
Then why would the governments hate us? Or do they hate people who have turned against their government? |
