Reaver Mercenary Co.

Ah cool. I've got a way better picture now.

Though one last question.

Personally, i like to live in fights. I don't mind dieing but i like to live. So lets say I'm fighting the LN or whoever. And they pay you 5 mil to take me out. Then i say I'll pay you 6 mil to take them out instead and they don't raise their price. What would be your standard response to this?

The forum ate my original reply. So this one will be shorter.

In short. Yesish.

Your six million isn't worth as much as working in Liberty. So we wont fire on the officer.
Your six million is worth more than the five million we would get for killing you.
But it might be worth more to us to kill you in order to satisfy another objective, such as bagging X targets for Y stuff.
But maybe we don't feel like killing you. Or the fight seems unfair.

Chances are craftyness will result in not needing to worry about the merc. Or maybe not.

Maybe. Here's two stories.

A merc is working in O-7. His contract is to murdersauce Kurger. He chances upon said Kruger and has a nice little back and forth with him. Seems this Kurger isn't a bad chap, just a guy getting by in life. Before he dies this Kruger happened to have jettisoned his Ore just a short distance away from the explosion and "someone" was able to come by and pick it up about a minute later. Not saying it was the Kruger guy because that would be a violation of some line in a contract. Not saying the "merc" made an extra two million on top of the kill bounty for sparing the guy's loot.

So I guess we can ignore that story. Because it certainly never happened.

Then we have another Kruger guy after the kill contract was over. He's a bit of a pud and has no armor atop his fat fat ore cargo. Gosh what a tasty treat. But no bounty, no kill. But, lo, should a Junker wander by in a p-trans who has a mean sounding name. The Merc promises to help this Junker nail the Kruger guy and walk off with the loot. The Junker initiates piracy, this act is recorded to satisfy a bounty on Junkers doing illegal things. This Junker, by virtue of pirating, has suddenly become a valid target by virtue of the documented proof now collected. Moments later the Kruger is killed and its ore scooped up by the thankful Junker, who turns to the merc to thank him. Moments later the Junker's loot is being scooped up by the merc who just splashed a mean 'ol nasty pirate Junker, doing the world a favor and making himself richer for a kill and the loot.

Not saying that happened either. That would be -mean-.

Just some slices of the experience pie.

Edit: Also we would never accept 200 million to stop shooting someone and then keep shooting them anyways because they'll never hire us and everyone hates them. Ever. That would also be mean.
