Short answer no.
It the only mechanism to even think about playing as a true merc.
If your corp can only hold one district then it can only hold one district. For better or worse thats the game. CCP incentivized the game to create blue donuts and the changes only made it more so.
Until corps can fully merc using a contract feature small corps will simply just have to eat crow. Or be so unbelievably godly that they will be universally stomping anything that is set in their path but there arent any corps out there like that  |

If we are true mercs, then we should be operating as independent units. But as long as alliances exist, one may have to adapt..depending on their ambitions
Yea believe me we hammer CCP quite a bit about how a game about mercs gives no true way to actually merc.
SoonGäó cant come Soon enough on that one. Once it happens it will really shake up PC. |

Im at least hoping they get something right merc wise for DUST and soon Yes, considering BF4 is taking preorders right now.
Yea but see thats the thing. PC is never going to be a 24/7 experience anyway, currently with the timers and lag time to battle PC is more like prescheduled fighting. Its going to open up players to come in play PC and either leave to play other stuff for the day or play FW. It all depends on how much fun the game is to play. |

u dont know alliances too well if u only think there are ROFL , EoN and CRONOS
EUTZ ur right CRONOS has it locked, USTZ has alot more competition
Concerning our growth we actually are by far the smallest alliance out of all the others.
Competition wise u have the 16 or so corps in ROFL + the 10 in CRONOS + Orion Empire (3K+ members) + Covert Intervention + alot of other grps like Zion and STB in Unclaimed, Subdreddit and PRO if they are still together.
When u break down the # of corps in each alliance the competition is actually there ur just looking at it as big grps and not looking at all the corps involved in each grp.
As far as EoN. goes im very particular on who i pickup i have a very good eye for talent and seeing potential in ppl and everyone shares the same view that we WANT fights so we wont ever get to a size that eliminates the majority of competition nor are we into making BlueDonut deals with the other big grps just to hold some loldistricts.
ROFL has a large player alliance that can actually create coverage around the globe, ppl make the mistake of thinking they are only a US based alliance. Thats their majority but certainly not their only coverage.
That said i wouldnt be too quick to count the CRONOS alliance as a solid lock forever. Sure they will start off blue but in the end their timers are still subject to attack, ppl forget the US expand 4 major timezones and its west coast can very easily cover UK primetime. Add to that im sure there are smart and unforeseen entities pulling EU talent into non CRONOS alliances as well as forces that undermine from both within and without..
whistles innocently as he leaves the post on that note |
