About Hiring Mercs to lend a hand..
It sounds like a good Idea, however not that long ago a group of Mercs got Sanctioned just for being in the same group as a Pirate. (Pirating of course)
At that time the fact that Mercs CAN'T kill traders was stressed so much that.. Well.. I would never want to put a Merc in that position.

The Merc ID:

Pilot carrying this ID is a mercenary who works for him/herself, unwilling to join the Bounty Hunters Guild or any other faction. Mercenary ID grants its owner right to fulfil lawful and unlawful bounty contracts, escort traders and smugglers, hunt pirates and terrorists, participate in military operations on lawful or unlawful side. Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate or trade on regular basis.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Gunboats
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.

So I think that may be out of the question...

The Crateria is Unhappy. From now on if you think you can carry on trading after you've faced Death you SHALL Face him again, and again until it Sinks in!
Come on, Traders need to Follow the 4 Hours Cool down after death..
So your dead, Whats that? Your going to get me with a Big Bad Cruiser? As long as it is NOT piloted by yourself let it come...

This will cause confusion:)

Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate or trade on regular basis.

Seems to allow this type of event, but for brief time.


Can we say, "Weekend pirate."

A Merc takes work from good and bad guys... I am not talking about pirating here. I am stating a Merc can be paid to cover a jh and kill any trader that comes thru it. Think of it as an open ended Bounty mission.

Finding Loophole in the rule book is not a good idea here. RP wise, a merc can be hired to do anyrthing, including passivly helping a pirate.

How?

Gathering intel on what trade ships are loaded and forwarding that info to the pirates.
Covering a JH for the Pirate.
Being a meat shield for a pirate, providing him exit in case of a mess up robbery.

I am sure people use the merc ID to twist laws but I am not one of them.

You will not ever see me or my pals Pirate any one but if a Pirate is stuck between four or Five Police fighters and requests support for money....He will get help (Primarily smaller ships like fighters/Bombers). I dont take sides.... a transport has as much of a chance of hiring me as a pirate. Hire a support Merc to help you.

I think it means:

Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate
Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to trade on a regular basis

And yes pipsqueak, this would be how a merc is able to Help. I shall consider this next time I come across some low life who uses these tactics.

I've tried this before. My computer freezes for a fraction of a second to render new models. When I go to a new system, thats about 2 or 3 seconds that I am standing still. Didn't really work.
