Reaver Mercenary Co.

I wonder the same thing, to be fair. However, they do hire us back. Why? Hell if I know.

In the case of the Corsairs, for example, it wasn't "Oh, board's closed, let's vamoose." It closed once, we waited a couple months, it opened for a short time, then closed again. We waited another couple of months and the board still wasn't open again. Reavers used to be very loyal to the Empire, but when they closed that board a second time and it wasn't looking like it was going to be opened again soon, we needed to seek out more work. The Hessians, who we shot at for some time on behalf of the Corsairs, were kind enough to support us with a board after we "earned their trust" with a trial contract.

Again, the problem here doesn't stem from the Reavers directly. If anything, we're one predictable constant in the ever-changing Merc business - we go where the money is. Can't feed the family/booze addiction when you're not bringing anything in.

In this light, I do implore you to take up said diplomacy issues with the factions who employ us. Why would a faction want to employ a group of mercs likely to stab them in the back for a buck or two? I can't answer that for you, only the employers can. All I know is that if they're going to give us the opportunity to earn some money, we'll most likely take it provided it doesn't conflict with a current employer who's keeping us happy.

I am willing to admit that factions do seem to do silly things but then can we please admit that at least something has to change in your diplomacy. To at least bring some clarity to what it is the Reavers actually are. I am not trying to be nasty or place people under the bus, however, there is something wrong here and there might be a possible way to sort it out. At least a compromise would stop a lot of the sort of hateful banter that happens across the forums.

Please understand, I actually enjoy the thrill of a good chase and hunt, but it's got to make sense at some point. If I hire you the one day and then you are hunting me the next, I just wouldn't hire you the day after that, if I some how survived.
