Question about Mercenary contracts

[Xydonus]

If you are accepting a bounty then yes.
If you are simply hired for escort, then no.
If a mercenary, freelancer, or BHG arrives on the scene of combat and is available for hire to the participants, then the hiring should be done in system or local chat so that both sides of the conflict can see what is going on. Since mercenaries should be working for the highest bidder, both sides should have an opportunity to hire the merc. Mercenaries who just show up, choose a side and start attacking are going to be in big trouble.
Some of you mercenaries need to develop better business sense also. A government might pay for attacks on pirate groups, but those pirates may also be willing to pay you even more to leave them alone.

Good to hear this being settled and quoted out by an admin. Because this has been abused, and I've seen it being abused, so good to know that unless they specify who the client is or make it known public, on forum or system chat, such pvp abuse can be sanctioned against.
