' Wrote:I agree, it would be like using Corsair ships with an Outcast contract (although not that extreme). Perhaps the Spatial can act as a Gunboat, I fought one with my old Corsair Gunboat character and it put up a pretty good fight, and the Zoner Gunboat would be ok with only 4 guns it would need a brilliant pilot to defeat a Corsair Gunboat.
I agree, and the main one I see is war. War opens up new contracts for Mercenary companies, two sides and fighting as you pick the highest payer to assist. Some examples are Bretonia and Kusari, Liberty and Rheinland, the Corsairs and the Outcasts, the BHG and pirates, Houses and Gallia (is that right, i didn't hear if Gallia is hostile to the houses or not). Another example is the war with the Order and the BHG. I'm not sure if they like to say it, but it looks to me that the Order are losing. When I had my Order character I couldn't stand the constant attacks so I deleted it, and i've heard it's goten worse. What would they pay if a powerful Mercenary company came around, offering services in defence against the Bounty Hunters?
Can I make a suggestion? Don't try to or even expect to find work everywhere. And don't expect your actions at one end of the galaxy to be overlooked when you go elsewhere. If you do choose to fight for the Order, then that closes down lawful work for you in Liberty. Plus you would have trouble with the Guild elsewhere in Sirius. If you choose to take contracts against the Rheinlanders for the lawful factions in Liberty, the you can't reasonably expect to find unlawful work in Liberty.
In other words, you can't ever be a true neutral mercenary. The first contract you take will shape the path ahead.
