but with multiple wars changing each week just keeping up with adding them did my nut in, especially having your alt add them too.
There are a few ways I hunt them down when im at war. ( this isnt being cocky but just what I do)
1. Most corporations have a central point or if there from null and low sec a central point of entry into high sec. most chars very rarely change there path even at war so that dude you saw in that blingy ship even at war will carry on the same way.
2. ZZkill and the other one when its working are a good source of previous places of where wt have been and possibly will be.
3. Main missions hubs IE the sister have always pulled chars in no matter if there at war or not. However the clever ones evac from there and go to a mission system in the middle of nowhere. catching them on the move if your tracking them prior to war helps.
I do understand that the offline online thing is a bit of a **** but at the end of the day mercs get paid to either do hub denial or hunt the feckers down and make them cry a lil. I dont mind flying alts around trying to find war targets as sometimes you might get more that you bargained for.
Typical point I decd a corp that was already at war flying a nightmare. However after setting them red my alt was flying around and found a mack pilot who was using a orca in a diff corp. So i dec the orca corp too. I kill the mack then go back there the next day and kill the orca then the nightmare.
I would rather be flying all around eve than sitting in a station banging out locators. i myself am in a small corp and in wars its easy for people to see me online, however not any more so it does benefit me alot
Its a shame to see you go though. Fly safe to all of your alliance in what ever you do next
I was around in the golden age of merc work. I worked within REPO in the beginning, I started up Snatch Victory and I did my time there and even dabbled a bit with Noir at the end when Snatch closed.
If you think you can just drive around with alts to the various systems in Eve to find the war targets, you're having a laugh. There's quite a few.
As someone who specialised in the hunting targets for clients aspect, rather than hub camping, I can say that when someone hires you to properly hunt someone and smash them, they will eventually change their tactics, move to far off systems, do various things that they think make it harder to hunt them.
As I look into coming back into Eve, I don't see how you can track a medium sized corp of say 30 to 100 people without knowing who is online or not. They can go put a character in the middle of nowhere and still generate money and resources for the corp and you have little chance of finding them.
